Didáctica de la Literatura a Través de las Nuevas Tecnologías: Instagram y el Teatro del Siglo XVII

Treball Final de Màster Universitari en Professor/a d'Educació Secundària Obligatòria i Batxillerat, Formació Professional i Ensenyaments d'Idiomes. Codi SAP429. Curs: 2022/2023El presente proyecto de innovación educativa expone una propuesta didáctica centrada en el teatro barroco español, para la asignatura de Lengua Castellana y Literatura en el curso de 1º de Bachillerato en horario vespertino. El proyecto consiste en la confección de una cuenta de Instagram dedicada a la realización de actividades relacionadas con el contenido propuesto. Las actividades grupales planteadas en esta unidad formarán una cuenta de Instagram a modo de portfolio digital, las cuales se realizarán haciendo uso de las distintas posibilidades que esta red social nos ofrece. Las actividades descritas consistirán en la creación de publicaciones con texto e imágenes, videos, comentarios, información de perfiles, etc, creando un proyecto que más tarde se presentará al resto de alumnos en clase. Este trabajo propone una metodología innovadora para la enseñanza de la literatura, implementando el enfoque por proyectos, basándose en el trabajo colaborativo y el autoaprendizaje. En adición, hace uso de la didáctica basada en las nuevas tecnologías y centrándose en la competencia digital. El uso de estas tiene como objetivo fomentar la motivación y dinamizar el proceso de aprendizaje en el aspecto literario de la asignatura. Por otra parte, el uso de diferentes herramientas fomenta la creatividad y la libertad, presentando recursos y aumentando la autonomía de los estudiantes a la hora de afrontar los retos planteados desde perspectivas diferentes

Design and baseline characteristics of the finerenone in reducing cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in diabetic kidney disease trial

Background: Among people with diabetes, those with kidney disease have exceptionally high rates of cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality and progression of their underlying kidney disease. Finerenone is a novel, nonsteroidal, selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist that has shown to reduce albuminuria in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) while revealing only a low risk of hyperkalemia. However, the effect of finerenone on CV and renal outcomes has not yet been investigated in long-term trials. Patients and Methods: The Finerenone in Reducing CV Mortality and Morbidity in Diabetic Kidney Disease (FIGARO-DKD) trial aims to assess the efficacy and safety of finerenone compared to placebo at reducing clinically important CV and renal outcomes in T2D patients with CKD. FIGARO-DKD is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, event-driven trial running in 47 countries with an expected duration of approximately 6 years. FIGARO-DKD randomized 7,437 patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate >= 25 mL/min/1.73 m(2) and albuminuria (urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio >= 30 to <= 5,000 mg/g). The study has at least 90% power to detect a 20% reduction in the risk of the primary outcome (overall two-sided significance level alpha = 0.05), the composite of time to first occurrence of CV death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or hospitalization for heart failure. Conclusions: FIGARO-DKD will determine whether an optimally treated cohort of T2D patients with CKD at high risk of CV and renal events will experience cardiorenal benefits with the addition of finerenone to their treatment regimen.

The implementation of information and communication technologies in the English language classroom

Treball Final de Grau en Estudis Anglesos. Codi: EA0938. Curs acadèmic: 2018/2019This paper attempts to design a lesson plan that focuses on improving different language skills using a tool created for designing activities via internet, and with which students are able to interact directly, immediately receiving feedback from both the teacher and the program. The general aim of the lesson plan is to implement information and communication technologies in the process of the English language teaching using the task-based language teaching method, creating 2 sessions in which the tasks develop from an specific semantic field, in this case cooking and food and environment. For this purpose, the paper is divided in six different sections. Fist of all, an introduction to ICT’s, followed by a brief theoretical background, in order to contextualise language teaching from the old approaches to the new ones, as well as the role of new technologies in education. After that, the method will be described, including a broad description of the tool used (in this case the online resource “Nearpod”) and the context in which it will be used, taking into account the subjects to whom the lesson plan is addressed. After that, the objectives of the lesson plan will be stated. Finally, the teaching proposal specially designed with the use of the tool will be exposed, with a description of each task and a brief conclusion
