Simulation of Professional Perfomance, Didactic Tool in Teaching Sport Sciences
La implantación del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior y su vinculación con la actividad laboral, ha permitido la aplicación de una metodología basada en la simulación del desempeño profesional, que ofrece la posibilidad no sólo de adquirir conocimientos, sino también aplicarlos, analizarlos y tomar decisiones practicando. El alumnado mediante una metodología constituida en cinco etapas secuenciales, diseñadas para la inmersión en situaciones cercanas a la realidad profesional, ha construido sus propios aprendizajes, ha diseñado nuevos planteamientos didácticos y finalmente ha realizado una puesta en común. Los resultados muestran la
implicación del alumnado y la adquisición de aprendizajes mediante la conexión entre las aplicaciones prácticas y la posible futura realidad profesional. La simulación ha permitido adquirir competencias en la elaboración y análisis de propuestas aplicadas y el desarrollo de competencias transversales relacionadas con toma de decisiones, trabajo autónomo y en equipo, aspectos determinantes en el éxito profesional de los futuros egresadosThe implantation of the European Higher Education Area and its linkage with the future job of the student has permitted the application of a methodology based on the simulation of professional skills, which offers the possibility not only to acquire knowledge but also to apply, analyze and take decisions practicing. Students, through a methodology consisting of five sequential phases in situations close to the professional reality, have built their own learning, have designed new teaching approaches and finally shared their results. The results show the implication of students on the learning process by connecting practical applications and possible future professional reality. The simulation has allowed students to acquire skills in the design and analysis of applied proposals and the development of generic skills related to decision making, autonomous and team work, determining factors in the career success of future graduate
Deep learning in automated ultrasonic NDE -- developments, axioms and opportunities
The analysis of ultrasonic NDE data has traditionally been addressed by a
trained operator manually interpreting data with the support of rudimentary
automation tools. Recently, many demonstrations of deep learning (DL)
techniques that address individual NDE tasks (data pre-processing, defect
detection, defect characterisation, and property measurement) have started to
emerge in the research community. These methods have the potential to offer
high flexibility, efficiency, and accuracy subject to the availability of
sufficient training data. Moreover, they enable the automation of complex
processes that span one or more NDE steps (e.g. detection, characterisation,
and sizing). There is, however, a lack of consensus on the direction and
requirements that these new methods should follow. These elements are critical
to help achieve automation of ultrasonic NDE driven by artificial intelligence
such that the research community, industry, and regulatory bodies embrace it.
This paper reviews the state-of-the-art of autonomous ultrasonic NDE enabled by
DL methodologies. The review is organised by the NDE tasks that are addressed
by means of DL approaches. Key remaining challenges for each task are noted.
Basic axiomatic principles for DL methods in NDE are identified based on the
literature review, relevant international regulations, and current industrial
needs. By placing DL methods in the context of general NDE automation levels,
this paper aims to provide a roadmap for future research and development in the
area.Comment: Accepted version to be published in NDT & E Internationa
Pediatric Electrical Stimulation for Limb Lengthening: A Non-Invasive Approach
Leg Length Discrepancy (LLD) is a problematic ailment for children as the differences in limb lengths can lead to scoliosis, hip, knee, and ankle problems, and back pain. If LLD is untreated, the symptoms will worsen as the child matures. Today LLD is corrected by using the Ilizarov Method, which uses pins that are externally attached to the broken bone for extension over time using a fixator or by using internal plates that do not require externalization. In our project we aim to use external electrical stimulation to correct the limb discrepancies. Several companies, such as Zimmer Biomet, have created an external bone growth stimulator that uses capacitive coupled electrical stimulation to promote bone growth. However, these devices are not designed for use in children. We have designed a device that will also use capacitive coupling to electrically stimulate bone growth in children. We began by using a computational model to measure the optimal current to achieve our goal. Our device was designed to be simple, easy, and comfortable for pediatric patients. Our device consists of an integrated circuit with two portions, a power supply and an oscillator section to generate the square wave intended to deliver the voltage to the patient to stimulate growth at the epiphyseal plate. The device, meant to deliver therapy during the patient’s sleep, allows the patient to wear the device comfortably while not disrupting their everyday life, while simultaneously fixing the discrepancy
Pattern of injuries in beach volleyball at the spanish national university championship
Este artículo pretende establecer y determinar las lesiones más
frecuentes en jugadores de vóley playa universitarios a través de una muestra
de 33 participantes en el Campeonato de España Universitario. Para estudiar las
lesiones, se realizó una entrevista personal mediante un cuestionario validado.
Los resultados mostraron que la región corporal con mayor incidencia lesiva fue
el tobillo (33,3%), seguido de los dedos de la mano (18,5%), las rodillas (13,0%),
los hombros (11,1%) y la espalda (5,6%). Además también se obtuvieron datos
sobre el momento de la lesión (competición o entrenamiento), su origen (impacto
o sobreuso) y característica de la lesión (nueva lesión o repetida). El tratamiento
de los datos para el establecimiento de las diferencias significativas se realizó a
través de la prueba estadística Chi-Cuadrado. Los resultados establecen un
patrón de lesiones diferente al que se produce en vóley playa profesional,
probablemente como consecuencia directa del nivel, horas de entrenamiento y exigencia del juegoThe aim of this paper is to study the most common injuries in university beach
volleyball players. The sample consisted in 33 athletes participating in the
University Spanish Championship. Injuries were assessed by means of
personal interviews and a validated questionnaire. Results show that the body
region with the highest incidence was the ankle (33%), followed by the fingers
(18.5%), knees (13.0%), shoulders (11.1%) and back (5.6%). Also, information
on the moment of injury (competition or training), origin (impact or overuse) and
characteristic of the injury (new or recurrent injury). Statistical processing of
data for establishing significant differences was performed using the Chi-square
test. Results showed a harmful effect, which differs from that of professional
volley players, probably as a result of the level, hours of training and
requirements of the gam
