Diseño de pruebas para la evaluación de competencias transversales

En 2005, un grupo de profesores de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) constituyó el Grupo de Innovación Educativa DMAE-DIA que fue reconocido como tal por la UPM en 2006 y en 2009. A posteriori, se han incorporado al grupo profesores de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid y de la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos Las líneas de actuación prioritarias del grupo son la evaluación de competencias genéricas y las metodologías de aprendizaje activo. Desde entonces estamos realizando evaluaciones sobre la adquisición por parte de estudiantes de ingeniería de algunas competencias genéricas. En este trabajo mostraremos las dos estrategias que estamos utilizando para evaluar la adquisición de competencias transversales: test psicométricos y pruebas (genéricas y específicas) con contenidos

A methodological approach for prioritizing water reuse projects in agricultural irrigation: a case study in Spain

Water reuse is a strategic priority for Water Authorities in Europe to reduce the pressure on water resources. However, its implementation is lagging behind expectations largely due to financial concerns. In this context, there is a special interest to identify in which specific Wastewater Treatment Plants it would be interesting to add a Water Regeneration Plant, taking account of potential existing clients in the vicinity and the implied costs and benefits. This paper proposes a methodology to quantify the infrastructure and operation costs of project implementation, and the benefits generated by the additional water offer. An algorithm designs the distribution network, allowing for a quick infrastructure cost analysis. The methodology is applied to the Upper Guadiana in Central Spain, where irrigation led to the overexploitation of the local aquifers and the subsequent restrictions on water use. Taking account of the existing Wastewater Treatment Plants, candidate reuse projects are classified according to their benefit/cost ratio, showing large differences according to the location and potential use of the regenerated water. The methodology allows for a quick assessment of the costs and benefits implied in different reuse projects and scenarios, providing science-based evidence to support water policy decisions

Redes sociales y relaciones internacionales en el sector turístico.

Tourism is a social and scientific phenomenon. From here, its knowledge must be approached from a complete vision and not limited to a single discipline or set of them separately, since it is multidisciplinary. The role of international relations in tourism is a phenomenon with great economic, social, cultural, and environmental consequences, which can condition the behavior of tourists and the tourism sector as a whole. The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has affected the entire world population, the main economic engines of each and every one of the countries and international relations derived from the tourism sector. The coronavirus has not only affected the people who are under its effects, but it has also changed the global perception of reality just as the media have been forced to create a new way of communicating. Meanwhile, social networks have been the fastest and easiest way to disseminate all kinds of information and misinformation, adopting new formats and new anti-hoax measures (fake news). They have been effective and it is identified that thanks to the different platforms, citizens have found themselves somewhat more sheltered, understood and have received information about what is happening around their lives. Due to the closure of borders and the decrease in flights, worldwide tourism suffers serious consequences and for all this, the incidence of the coronavirus in the economy and international relations are protagonists of a difficult reality and a prompt and expected recovery

Social networks and international relations in the tourism sector

Dossiê temático Relações Internacionais e Redes SociaisEl turismo es un fenómeno social y científico. A partir de aquí, su conocimiento debe enfocarse desde una visión integral y no limitarlo a una sola disciplina o conjunto de ellas por separado, ya que es multidisciplinar. El papel de las Relaciones internacionales en el turismo es un fenómeno de grandes consecuencias económicas, sociales, culturales y ambientales, que puede condicionar el comportamiento del turista y del sector turístico en su conjunto. La pandemia provocada por la covid-19 ha afectado a toda la población mundial, a los principales motores económicos de todos y cada uno de los países y a las Relaciones internacionales derivadas del sector turístico. El coronavirus no solo ha afectado a las personas que se encuentran bajo sus efectos, sino que ha cambiado la percepción global de la realidad al igual que los medios de información se han visto forzados a crear una nueva manera de comunicar. Por su parte, las redes sociales han supuesto la vía más rápida y sencilla en la difusión de todo tipo de información y desinformación, adoptando nuevos formatos y nuevas medidas anti bulos (fake news). Han sido eficaces y se identifica que gracias a las diferentes plataformas los ciudadanos se han encontrado algo más arropados, comprendidos y han recibido información sobre lo que ocurre alrededor de sus vidas. Debido al cierre de fronteras y a la disminución de vuelos, el turismo mundial sufre graves consecuencias y por todo ello, la incidencia del coronavirus en la economía y las Relaciones internacionales son protagonistas de una difícil realidad y una pronta y esperada recuperación.Tourism is a social and scientific phenomenon.

Proteomic study of the membrane components of signalling cascades of Botrytis cinerea controlled by phosphorylation

Protein phosphorylation and membrane proteins play an important role in the infection of plants by phytopathogenic fungi, given their involvement in signal transduction cascades. Botrytis cinerea is a well-studied necrotrophic fungus taken as a model organism in fungal plant pathology, given its broad host range and adverse economic impact. To elucidate relevant events during infection, several proteomics analyses have been performed in B. cinerea, but they cover only 10% of the total proteins predicted in the genome database of this fungus. To increase coverage, we analysed by LC-MS/MS the first-reported overlapped proteome in phytopathogenic fungi, the “phosphomembranome” of B. cinerea, combining the two most important signal transduction subproteomes. Of the 1112 membrane-associated phosphoproteins identified, 64 and 243 were classified as exclusively identified or overexpressed under glucose and deproteinized tomato cell wall conditions, respectively. Seven proteins were found under both conditions, but these presented a specific phosphorylation pattern, so they were considered as exclusively identified or overexpressed proteins. From bioinformatics analysis, those differences in the membrane-associated phosphoproteins composition were associated with various processes, including pyruvate metabolism, unfolded protein response, oxidative stress response, autophagy and cell death. Our results suggest these proteins play a significant role in the B. cinerea pathogenic cycl

CBT and positive psychology interventions for clinical depression promote healthy attentional biases: an eye-tracking study.

Background: Although there is a growing interest in the role of attentional biases in depression, there are no studies assessing changes in these biases after psychotherapeutic interventions. Methods: We used a validated eye-tracking procedure to assess pre–post therapy changes in attentional biases toward emotional information (i.e., happy, sad, and angry faces) when presented with neutral information (i.e., neutral faces). The sample consisted of 75 participants with major depression or dysthymia. Participants were blindly assigned to one of two 10 weekly sessions of group therapy: a cognitive behavior therapy intervention (N = 41) and a positive psychology intervention (N = 34). Results: Both treatments were equally efficacious in improving depressive symptoms (p = .0001, �2 = .68). A significant change in attentional performance after therapy was observed irrespective of the intervention modality. Comparison of pre–post attentional measures revealed a significant reduction in the total time of fixations (TTF) looking at negative information (i.e., sad and angry faces) and a significant increase in the TTF looking at positive information (i.e., happy faces)—all p < .02. Conclusions: Findings reveal for the first time that psychotherapeutic interventions are associated with a significant change in attentional biases as assessed by a direct measure of attention. Furthermore, these changes seem to operate in the same direction typically found in healthy populations (i.e., a bias away from negative information and a parallel bias toward positive information). These findings illustrate the importance of considering attentional biases as clinical markers of depression and suggest the viability of modifying these biases as a potential tool for clinical change.pre-print591 K

Cinematographic Colorimetry Applied to New Television Journalistic Formats: The Case of the Spanish Program Lo de Évole

This text is born within the framework of a CONCILIUM project (931.791) of the Complutense University of Madrid, “Validation of models of neurocommunication, business, social networks and gender”.Con la irrupción de las multipantallas que ha supuesto la era Netflix, buena parte de las viejas fórmulas visuales, en especial las televisivas y reporteriles, han quedado desfasadas. Ello es especialmente observable en los formatos televisivos fuertemente vinculados al periodismo reporteril, como Españoles por el mundo, Callejeros viajeros y otros. En los últimos años ya se percibía una tendencia de adaptación de los códigos cinematográficos a los productos televisivos, pero la pandemia de la Covid-19 y la prohibición de exhibición en sala en los cines de todo el mundo, ha precipitado un cambio de modelo de consumo. Este artículo presenta una investigación sobre un elemento nuclear: la colorimetría cinematográfica utilizada en programas periodísticos de televisión, en concreto, a uno de los programas periodísticos más vistos de la televisión española: Lo de Évole.With the irruption of multi-screens that the Netflix era has brought about, a good part of the old visual formulas, especially television and reporter ones, have become outdated. This is especially observable in television formats strongly linked to reporter journalism, such as Spaniards around the world, Street travelers and others. In recent years, a trend of adaptation of cinematographic codes to television products has already been perceived, but the Covid-19 pandemic and the ban on theatrical exhibition in cinemas around the world has precipitated a change in the model of consumption. This article presents an investigation on a nuclear element: the cinematographic colorimetry used in journalistic television programs, specifically, one of the most watched journalistic programs on Spanish television: Lo de Évole.Universidad Complutense de Madrid 931.79
