Simulation-based mathematical learning for higher education students from heterogeneous backgrounds

This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in "Journal of Simulation" on the 2nd of February, available online: http://www.tandfonline.com/10.1080/17477778.2024.2314716[EN] This paper explores the use of simulation-based training for mathematical learning in undergraduate and graduate mathematics, science, and engineering courses. Simulation-based training offers the advantages of active learning and inquiry-based learning techniques. Furthermore, it provides extensive flexibility, ranging from user-level usage of simulations to the modification or creation of new possibilities by the student, thus engaging different cognitive levels to achieve the learning objectives. This is particularly interesting in groups consisting of students from diverse backgrounds and levels, due to factors such as their international origin or varying prior education, especially in interdisciplinary Master's degree programmes. Additionally, in online or blended environments (which have become widespread during the last years), simulation-based learning has the advantage of granting students a certain degree of autonomy, which can, to some extent, compensate for the absence of the instructor's physical presence.Campos, N.; Corlu, CG.; Nogal, M.; Juan, AA.; Caliz, C.

Simulation-based education involving online and on-campus models in different European universities

Simulation-based education (SE) refers to the use of simulation software, tools, and serious games to enrich the teaching and learning processes. Advances in both computer hardware and software allow for employing innovative methodologies that make use of SE tools to enhance the learning experience. Moreover, thanks to the globalisation of e-learning practices, these educational experiences can be made available to students from different geographical regions and universities, which promotes the development of international and inter-university cooperation in education. This paper provides a review of recent works in the SE subject, with a focus on the areas of engineering, science, and management. It also discusses some experiences in SE involving different European universities and learning models. Finally, it also points out open challenges as well as noticeable trends

PROTAGONISMO INDÍGENA: REFLEXÕES SOBRE AS POLÍTICAS LINGUÍSTICAS INSTITUCIONAIS EM EVENTO DA ABRALIN AO VIVO NO YOUTUBE, NO PERÍODO DE PANDEMIA

This study addresses indigenous protagonism and how the institutional policies of the Brazilian Linguisticassociation (Abralin) contribute to raising and affirming the cultures, languages and identity of indigenous peoples, that is, the actions developed by Abralin that dialogue and meet the linguistic issues of indigenous peoples. Thus, the objective is to analyze indigenous protagonism as a policy of linguistic visibility based on three events of the Abralin project live. For this analysis, a qualitative approach was used based on the data available on Youtube, as well as corpus the round tables - Indigenous Languages: revitalization and resumption; Watatakalu Yawalapiti: Indigenous resistance; and Linguistic Policies: Public Policies and the Indigenous Question - which integrate the Abralin project live, thus characterizing as a study of empirical nature, through the analysis and discussion of indigenous agendas brought by indigenous researchers and managers/activists working in the linguistic-political affairs of indigenous peoples in Brazil. The online space used to obtain the corpus of this research is the YouTube channel of the institution mentioned above. Therefore, it is noted the importance of indigenous protagonism in institutions that dialogue about the linguistic diversity, identity and culture of these peoples. And thus, expanding the participation of indigenous peoples within institutions is a possible path that will give visibility to indigenous issues.Este estudo aborda sobre o protagonismo indígena e como as políticas institucionais da Associação Brasileira de Linguística (Abralin) contribuem para suscitar e afirmar as culturas, as línguas e a identidade dos povos indígenas, ou seja, as ações desenvolvidas pela Abralin que dialogam e vão ao encontro às questões linguísticas dos povos indígenas. Dessa forma, tem-se como objetivo analisar o protagonismo indígena como política de visibilidade linguística com base em três eventos do projeto Abralin ao vivo. Para esta análise, utilizou-se uma abordagem qualitativa com base nos dados disponíveis no Youtube, tendo assim como corpus as mesas-redondas -  Línguas Indígenas: revitalização e retomada; Watatakalu Yawalapiti: Resistência indígena; e Políticas Linguísticas: Políticas Públicas e a Questão Indígena - que integram o projeto da Abralin ao vivo, caracterizando assim, como um estudo de natureza empírica, através da análise e discussão das pautas indígenas trazidas pelos(as) pesquisadores(as) indígenas e gestores/ativistas atuantes nos assuntos linguístico-políticos dos povos indígenas no Brasil. Sendo que o espaço online utilizado para a obtenção do corpus desta pesquisa é o canal do YouTube, da instituição supracitada. Portanto, nota-se a importância do protagonismo indígena nas instituições que dialogam a respeito da diversidade linguística, identidade e cultura desses povos. E, assim, ampliar a participação do indígena no âmbito das instituições é um caminho possível, que dará visibilidade às questões indígenas

Reflectance properties analysis of mineral based mortars for renders: Research of their energy performance

Passive performance of buildings is nowadays one of the key points, not only for reducing energy consumption of buildings, but also for decreasing >fuel poverty>. Among the constructive systems in buildings, façades are the ones having higher influence on thermal performance in urban spaces. Lime renders are specialized systems which can improve not only the durability of the support but also the thermal properties. According to previous researches, a modification of their radiative properties can reduce thermal fluxes between 24% and 89%. In this paper, the influences of the aggregate content in lime pastes, as well as the nature of the aggregates, colour and roughness, on the visible near and medium infrared reflectance are analyzed. Ten types of aerial lime mortars were prepared and two methods of reflectance determination were performed. Finally, the effect of the resulted reflectance on the constructive systems of façades was analyzed using pseudotime-dependent software, for which an annulation of the thermal fluxes or significant reduction of them can be observed, when modifying the aggregate nature. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.Peer Reviewe
