Bosquescuela. A model for sustainable learning in nature

Bosquescuela is an educational model where the curriculum is developed in nature and where nature provides the environment for learning. In other words, different pedagogical activities take place outside (forest, countryside, beach, urban areas). The two underlying ideas are that 1) The natural environment offers everything children require for an adequate and balanced development. 2) Curiosity is one of the main driving forces for learning. The organisation of the daily classes includes periods of psychomotor development in the form excursions where they can run, climb, get to know the environment, invent games, and get started in reading, writing and mathematics using naturally occurring elements such as stones, sticks, leaves, etc. The only infrastructure that is needed is a cabin to provide shelter. Lastly, it should be noted that the Bosquescuela Project is an example of a sustainable school in both it's physical structure and in it's running. As such it strives to implement the Sustainable Development Goals (sdgs) adopted by the United Nations. Bosquescuela contributes directly to sdg 4 concerning quality education, sdg 13 which considers climate action to be humanity's biggest challenge for the 21st century, sdg 15 that pledges protection for terrestrial ecosystems and sdg 17 which states the need for creating partnerships to achieve the goals.Bosquescuela es un modelo educativo que desarrolla el currículum al aire libre. Las distintas propuestas pedagógicas se desarrollan en el exterior: bosque, campo, playa, parques, zonas urbanas. Como entorno principal de aprendizaje se considera la naturaleza. Este modelo se basa en dos pilares: 1. El entorno natural ofrece un marco completo que cubre las necesidades del alumnado de un desarrollo global y equilibrado y 2. La curiosidad es uno de los motores principales del aprendizaje. La organización de las clases diarias incluye momentos para hacer hincapié en el desarrollo psicomotor, cognitivo y emocional de los niños y niñas mediante excursiones en las que corren, trepan, conocen el medio ambiente, y clases diarias de iniciación a la lectoescritura y las matemáticas utilizando elementos del entorno como piedras, hojas, ramas, etc. Otra fase protagonista diaria es de juego espontáneo y libre que fomenta el sentido de exploración, el trabajo en equipo y ofrece momentos de alta concentración. La única instalación que se requiere es una cabaña que cumple la función de refugio. Por último, el modelo Bosquescuela es un ejemplo de escuela sostenible coherente en forma y contenido. Así, pretende introducir de manera vivencial los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible adoptados por la Organización de las Naciones Unidas. De manera directa, contribuye al ods 4 sobre educación de calidad, al ods 13 de acción por el clima como principal reto del siglo xxi para la humanidad, al ods 15 que aboga por la vida de los ecosistemas terrestres y al ods 17 sobre la necesidad de crear alianzas para lograr los objetivos

Letter of interest for a neutrino beam from Protvino to KM3NeT/ORCA

The Protvino accelerator facility located in the Moscow region, Russia, is in a good position to offer a rich experimental research program in the field of neutrino physics. Of particular interest is the possibility to direct a neutrino beam from Protvino towards the KM3NeT/ORCA detector, which is currently under construction in the Mediterranean Sea 40 km offshore Toulon, France. This proposal is known as P2O. Thanks to its baseline of 2595 km, this experiment would yield an unparalleled sensitivity to matter effects in the Earth, allowing for the determination of the neutrino mass ordering with a high level of certainty after only a few years of running at a modest beam intensity of ≈ 90 kW. With a prolonged exposure (≈1500 kWyear), a 2σ sensitivity to the leptonic CP-violating Dirac phase can be achieved. A second stage of the experiment, comprising a further intensity upgrade of the accelerator complex and a densified version of the ORCA detector (Super-ORCA), would allow for up to a 6σ sensitivity to CP violation and a 10º−17º resolution on the CP phase after 10 years of running with a 450 kW beam, competitive with other planned experiments. The initial composition and energy spectrum of the neutrino beam would need to be monitored by a near detector, to be constructed several hundred meters downstream from the proton beam target. The same neutrino beam and near detector set-up would also allow for neutrino-nucleus cross section measurements to be performed. A short-baseline sterile neutrino search experiment would also be possible

The Control Unit of the KM3NeT Data Acquisition System

The KM3NeT Collaboration runs a multi-site neutrino observatory in the Mediterranean Sea. Water Cherenkov particle detectors, deep in the sea and far off the coasts of France and Italy, are already taking data while incremental construction progresses. Data Acquisition Control software is operating off-shore detectors as well as testing and qualification stations for their components. The software, named Control Unit, is highly modular. It can undergo upgrades and reconfiguration with the acquisition running. Interplay with the central database of the Collaboration is obtained in a way that allows for data taking even if Internet links fail. In order to simplify the management of computing resources in the long term, and to cope with possible hardware failures of one or more computers, the KM3NeT Control Unit software features a custom dynamic resource provisioning and failover technology, which is especially important for ensuring continuity in case of rare transient events in multi-messenger astronomy. The software architecture relies on ubiquitous tools and broadly adopted technologies and has been successfully tested on several operating systems

Dependence of atmospheric muon flux on seawater depth measured with the first KM3NeT detection units: The KM3NeT Collaboration

KM3NeT is a research infrastructure located in the Mediterranean Sea, that will consist of two deep-sea Cherenkov neutrino detectors. With one detector (ARCA), the KM3NeT Collaboration aims at identifying and studying TeV–PeV astrophysical neutrino sources. With the other detector (ORCA), the neutrino mass ordering will be determined by studying GeV-scale atmospheric neutrino oscillations. The first KM3NeT detection units were deployed at the Italian and French sites between 2015 and 2017. In this paper, a description of the detector is presented, together with a summary of the procedures used to calibrate the detector in-situ. Finally, the measurement of the atmospheric muon flux between 2232–3386 m seawater depth is obtained

gSeaGen: The KM3NeT GENIE-based code for neutrino telescopes

Program summary Program Title: gSeaGen CPC Library link to program files: http://dx.doi.org/10.17632/ymgxvy2br4.1 Licensing provisions: GPLv3 Programming language: C++ External routines/libraries: GENIE [1] and its external dependencies. Linkable to MUSIC [2] and PROPOSAL [3]. Nature of problem: Development of a code to generate detectable events in neutrino telescopes, using modern and maintained neutrino interaction simulation libraries which include the state-of-the-art physics models. The default application is the simulation of neutrino interactions within KM3NeT [4]. Solution method: Neutrino interactions are simulated using GENIE, a modern framework for Monte Carlo event generators. The GENIE framework, used by nearly all modern neutrino experiments, is considered as a reference code within the neutrino community. Additional comments including restrictions and unusual features: The code was tested with GENIE version 2.12.10 and it is linkable with release series 3. Presently valid up to 5 TeV. This limitation is not intrinsic to the code but due to the present GENIE valid energy range. References: [1] C. Andreopoulos at al., Nucl. Instrum. Meth. A614 (2010) 87. [2] P.
