Cap a l’aula híbrida: anàlisi de les xarxes socials vinculades a l’educació plàstica i visual

Resumen: Se pretende examinar la gran transformación que está sufriendo la comunidad educativa a raíz de la red virtual conocida como Internet. Enfocando concretamente las relaciones que se producen entre educación artística y las redes sociales, y analizando los conceptos fundamentales que intervienen en esta relación desde diferentes áreas del conocimiento, como de las nuevas tecnologías, educación artística, psicología, web 2.0 y software libre. Los Centros han quedado demasiado desvinculados de los nuevos medios y, en consecuencia, de la realidad del alumnado. Pretendemos acercar estas nuevas tecnologías desde la sencillez más absoluta, para poder realizar la tarea de la asignatura de Educación Plástica y Visual vinculada a los nuevos canales comunicativos utilizados por el alumnado. Palabras clave: Redes Sociales, Web 2.0, TIC, Aula híbrida, Software libre Resum: Es pretén examinar la gran transformació que està patint la comunitat educativa arran de la xarxa virtual coneguda com Internet.

It is specifically focused on the relationships that occur between artistic education and social networks, analyzing the fundamental concepts that come together in this relationship from different areas of knowledge, such as new technologies, art education, psychology, web 2.0 and free software. The Educational Centers have grown away from the new media, and therefore from the reality of the students (from the students real life). Our intention is to get closer to these new technologies, from the most absolute simplicity, in order to carry out the tasks of the Visual and Plastic Education course, establishing a relationship between these tasks and the new channels of communication used by students. Key words: Social Networking, Web 2.0, ICT, Hybrid classroom, Free Softwar

Análisis del mensaje periodístico televisivo y su entendimiento en Lengua de Signos (Comunitat Valenciana)

XIX Jornades de Foment de la Investigació de la Facultat de Ciències Humanes i Socials (Any 2014)El origen de esta investigación es poder reflejar las deficiencias comunicativas de la televisión con respecto a la gente sorda. Se ha centrado en el contexto de la Comunitat Valenciana por acotar el campo de trabajo. El estudio intenta conocer la percepción de los sordos y oyentes sobre la adaptación del mensaje periodístico a la Comunidad Sorda. Analizar la postura de expertos en Lengua de Signos en torno a la adaptación del mensaje periodístico actual y estudiar el planteamiento de las televisiones más vistas en la Comunitat. Para ello ha sido necesario crear encuestas y realizar entrevistas personales a expertos, así como consultar leyes y normativas. Con toda esta información se han podido elaborar tablas estadísticas para demostrar situaciones como que las personas sordas son más conformistas que las oyentes, quienes se muestran más preocupadas por la adaptabilidad del mensaje. También se demuestra en este trabajo que las personas sordas están más satisfechas con la televisión actual que las personas oyentes, y que los canales que mejor cumplen las expectativas informativas para este grupo de población es el primer canal de Televisión Española y La Sexta. Otra amplia parte del trabajo recoge las opiniones sobre la ya inexistente Televisión Pública Valenciana y su planteamiento con respecto al mensaje periodístico para personas sordas

Impact of electronic correlations on the equation of state and transport in ϵ\epsilon-Fe

We have obtained the equilibrium volumes, bulk moduli, equations of state of the ferromagnetic cubic $\alpha$ and paramagnetic hexagonal $\epsilon$ phases of iron in close agreement with experiment using an ab initio dynamical mean-field theory approach. The local dynamical correlations are shown to be crucial for a successful description of the ground-state properties of paramagnetic $\epsilon$-Fe. Moreover, they enhance the effective mass of the quasiparticles and reduce their lifetimes across the $\alpha \to \epsilon$ transition leading to a step-wise increase of the resistivity, as observed in experiment. The calculated magnitude of the jump is significantly underestimated, which points to non-local correlations. The implications of our results for the superconductivity and non-Fermi-liquid behavior of $\epsilon$-Fe are discussed.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure

Una aproximació a la situació dels programes d'immersió lingüística al País Valencià

An immersion programme is an integrating educational curriculum, which aims to increase and not to reduce knowledge, and on no account tries to replace the family language of the student. Provided the teachers follow suitable pedagogic guidelines, they will encourage the students' capacity for linguistic reflection and, therefore, will foster the learning of other languages, making it easier for students to become multilingual and multicultural Such programme is included in our legislative codes which, in addition to giving legal support, also give methodological strategies that may guide teachers in its application. However, we may not forget that any school choice implying a change of language has a clear sociopolitical dimension, which is clearly the origin of the attitudes families and students possess on arrival at school

The Ethics of Financial Market Making and Its Implications for High-Frequency Trading

During the last 20 years, the financial sector has undergone an unprecedented transformation due to new regulations and the implementation of several technological advancements. The combination of regulation and technology has brought about new financial processes that have fundamentally changed how financial market making is done. This paper studies the ethics of financial market making and its implications for one of the most controversial financial innovations of modern times, namely high-frequency trading (HFT). We claim that the Aristotelian distinction between natural chrematistics, which is aimed at serving the real economy, and unnatural chrematistics, whose ultimate purpose is wealth accumulation, can be a useful criterion to assess the ethics of financial market making and the goodness of an innovation as HFT, and how it can serve the common good of society. This approach can be defined as 'purpose oriented' or 'purpose fulfillment'

Experiential learning in virtues ethics through a case study: The 'St. Albans Family Enterprises'

Teaching business ethics effectively may prepare future leaders and managers to better deal with delicate situations that they might face in the workplace. However, such an aim is one of the biggest challenges that educators at universities are called on to solve. An increasing number of scholars are invoking the role of prudence in the virtue ethics context as a viable approach to teach students how to manage ethical dilemmas. In this regard, this paper presents the ‘St. Albans Family Enterprise’ case study that can serve as an instrument to help students and practitioners develop their ethical decision-making ability and to foster a disposition towards applying sound judgment or what can be called in classical terms, prudence. The paper also offers guidance to educators about how the case can be used for teaching purposes, and explains the implications of exercising practical wisdom (prudence) within a virtue ethics framework

Long term ordering kinetics of the two dimensional q-state Potts model

We studied the non-equilibrium dynamics of the q-state Potts model in the square lattice, after a quench to sub-critical temperatures. By means of a continuous time Monte Carlo algorithm (non-conserved order parameter dynamics) we analyzed the long term behavior of the energy and relaxation time for a wide range of quench temperatures and system sizes. For q>4 we found the existence of different dynamical regimes, according to quench temperature range. At low (but finite) temperatures and very long times the Lifshitz-Allen-Cahn domain growth behavior is interrupted with finite probability when the system stuck in highly symmetric non-equilibrium metastable states, which induce activation in the domain growth, in agreement with early predictions of Lifshitz [JETP 42, 1354 (1962)]. Moreover, if the temperature is very low, the system always gets stuck at short times in a highly disordered metastable states with finite life time, which have been recently identified as glassy states. The finite size scaling properties of the different relaxation times involved, as well as their temperature dependency are analyzed in detail.Comment: 10 pages, 17 figure

An X-ray view of Mrk 705: A borderline narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy

Mrk 705 exhibits optical properties of both narrow- and broad-line Seyfert 1 galaxies. We examine the X-ray properties of this borderline object utilising proprietary and public data from Chandra, ASCA, ROSAT and RXTE, spanning more than twelve years. Though long-term flux variability from the pointed observations appears rather modest (about 3 times), we do find examples of rare large amplitude outbursts in the RXTE monitoring data. There is very little evidence of long-term spectral variability as the low- and high-energy spectra appear constant with time. A 6.4 keV emission line is detected in the ASCA spectra of Mrk 705, but not during the later, higher flux state Chandra observation. However, the upper limit on the equivalent width of a line in the Chandra spectrum is consistent with a constant-flux emission line and a brighter continuum, suggesting that the line is emitted from distant material such as the putative torus. Overall, the X-ray properties of Mrk 705 appear typical of BLS1 activity.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figures. Accepted for publication in A&A (Research Note
