Sensibilización sobre el sedentarismo en Educación Física a partir de la hibridación de dos modelos pedagógicos: [Sensitivity about sedentarism in Physical Education from a hybridization of two pedagogical models]

In the present work, an educational innovation in Physical Education is presented in order to sensitize students about the repercussions on health of a sedentary lifestyle. The experience was based on the hybridization of two pedagogical models (Adventure Education and Health-Related Physical Education) through a Didactic Unit on orientation that was experienced for two groups on the first year of high school. A sedentary activities questionnaire was administered to the students, the results of which served as a starting point for the development of the sessions and an evaluation of the teaching staff, and the innovation experience was also carried out. Results show the high number of hours of sedentary activities spent by adolescents, finding differences according to gender and type of day. Students value very positively the implication of the teachers, as well as the learning acquired from the proposed hybridization model.Este trabajo presenta una innovación educativa llevada a cabo en Educación Física con el fin de sensibilizar al alumnado sobre las repercusiones en la salud de un estilo de vida sedentario.

Impact of COVID-19 lockdown in telecommunications engineering competency-based alumni ranking

[EN] Higher education, as other social and economic sectors in Spain, was disrupted on 15th March 2020 following health emergency Laws enacted related to COVID-19. Non-presential lecturing was stablished country-wide until the end of the academic year 2019-20, as society was set in lockdown. In this context, it is necessary to evaluate the impact of the mandatory changes implemented in the education paradigm in order to assess the degree of acquisition of general and specific competencies altogether the acquisition of transversal competencies, as an important factor for the alumni career. This paper reports a comprehensive study on the competencies degree of acquisition considering the lockdown scenario in Spain. The results from the last four academic years have been comparatively evaluated in the core subject `Teoría de la Comunicación¿, lectured in the fourth semester of the Telecommunications Engineering Integrated Program (Bachelor and Master) in the Universitat Politècnica de València, Spain, comprising data from 745 alumni. The results indicate that the degree of acquisition of technical competencies in this scenario has been adequate, being marginally better compared to previous academic year, probably due to new lecturing materials prepared. Nevertheless, the acquisition of the transversal competency `analysis and problem solving¿ exhibits degraded results, indicating inhomogeneous acquisition probably due to limitations in the group-based problem-solving practice. The results suggest that specific materials and remote lecturing strategies should be developed and implemented to guarantee adequate acquisition levels.The support by the 2020 Science Parks program from the Consellería de Innovación, Universidades, Ciencia y Sociedad Digital, Generalitat Valenciana, Spain, is acknowledged.Llorente, R.; Rodríguez-Hernández, MA.; Hernandez Franco, CA.; Sastre, J.; Carrión García, A.; Madrigal-Madrigal, J.

La fabricación digital en la educación inclusiva para estudiantes con discapacidad visual. Análisis literario y bibliométrico

Technology integration in teaching people with disabilities is essential and has generated the so-called assistive technologies. Among them, digital manufacturing technologies, considered transformative, have made personalization faster and access easier and more affordable, mainly for the visually impaired. This research combines a literature review with bibliometrics to evaluate the application of digital fabrication technologies in the learning process of students with visual disabilities. Likewise, it analyzes its contribution to implementing explicit instruction, a fundamental and transversal methodology for teaching people with and without visual disabilities. It offers a multisensory educational experience and can potentially increase the number of inclusive educational spaces.La integración de la tecnología en los procesos de enseñanza de las personas con discapacidad es primordial y ha generado las denominadas tecnologías de asistencia.

Soybean Date of Planting and Maturity in Northern Iowa

Inevitably, every year soybean planting gets delayed or needs to be replanted because of weather somewhere in Iowa. Even if soybean planting starts and progresses in a timely manner, there always is the question of what maturity group should be planted. This trial was setup to determine what maturities are well suited for a given geographic location, but also how maturity selection should be adjusted as planting dates get pushed into late spring

Clinical applications of the respiratory equation of motion to guide decision-making in the patient under invasive mechanical ventilation

Introduction: Mechanical ventilation is a common practice in intensive care units and anesthesiology with both therapeutic and potentially harmful implications for the respiratory system and distant organs, that is why it is of utmost importance to continually monitor ventilation parameters. Objective: To describe the equation of motion of the respiratory system and its clinical applications in the patient under invasive mechanical ventilation. Main: The equation of motion of the respiratory system integrates the dynamic forces generated by the ventilator with the intrinsic properties of the lung and chest wall. It expresses the pressure in the respiratory system in relation to volume, elastance, resistance, air flow and pressures generated by the ventilator and the patient. Elevated pressures in the respiratory system during mechanical ventilation are associated with greater mortality, that is why the identification of the components responsible for elevation of pressures through the equation of motion of the respiratory system allows to modify ventilator programmed parameters to maintain a protective ventilation. Conclusion: Decision-making based on the equation of motion of the respiratory system allows to modify ventilatory parameters according to the characteristics and diseases of the patient under mechanical ventilation
