La energía al servicio del desarrollo sostenible: Una reflexión

Se asume con carácter universal que es necesario replantear el modelo energético basado en productos fósiles, que ha sido fuente de progreso durante los últimos 150 años, pero también causa principal de las emisiones GEI a niveles incompatibles con el desarrollo sostenible. La reducción sustancial de esas emisiones para evitar el colapso climático es el gran desafío con medidas sobre todo para ganar en eficiencia energética y sustituir progresivamente los productos fósiles, carbón y productos petrolíferos, por fuentes renovables en la producción y uso de la energía. Sobre esa base, una mayor electrificación, especialmente del transporte, centra los esfuerzos de desarrollo tecnológico donde China parece estar asumiendo el liderazgo mundial. España reúne condiciones objetivas para salir beneficiada con el nuevo modelo energético sostenible si se alcanza un pacto de estado al respecto, se establece una buena gobernanza en su desarrollo y seguimiento y se exige que se cumplan los objetivos de nuevas interconexiones eléctricas con el resto de Europ

Dynamic Match Analysis

Recent technological development has enabled research- ers to gather data from different performance scenarios while considering players positioning and action events within a specific time frame. This technology varies from global positioning systems to radio frequency devices and computer vision tracking, to name the most common, and aims to collect players’ time motion data and enable the dynamical analysis of performance. Team sports—and in particular, invasion games—present a complex dynamic by nature based on the interaction between 2 opposing sides trying to outperform 1 another. During match and training situations, players’ actions are coupled to their performance context at different interaction levels. As expected, ball, teammates’, and opponents’ positioning play an important role in this interaction process. But other factors, such as final score, teams’ development level, and players’ expertise, seem to affect the match dynamics. In this symposium, we will focus on how different constraints affect invasion games dynamics during both match and training situations. This relation will be established while underpinning the importance of these effects to game teaching and performance optimization. Regarding the match, different performance indicators based on spatial-temporal relations between players and teams will be presented to reveal the interaction processes that form the crucial component of game analysis. Considering the training, this symposium will address the relationship of small-sided games with full- sized matches and will present how players’ dynamical interaction affects different performance indicators

An Approach to Tactical Performance Optimization in a Big Data World

The amount of data collected from an individual player during a football match has increased significantly in recent years, following technological evolution in positional tracking. However, given the short time that separates competitions, the common analysis of these data focuses on the magnitude of actions of each player, while considering either technical or physical perform- ance. This focus leads to a considerable amount of information not being taken into account in performance optimization, particularly while considering a sequence of different matches of the same team. In this presentation, we will present a tactical performance indicator that considers players’ overall positioning and their level of coordination during the match. This performance indicator will be applied in different time scales, with a particular focus on possible practical applications

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN OLDER PEOPLE

Gerontological research has shown that there is a marked decline in health with age and an associated demand for expensive medical services (Shepard, 1993). Some previous studies underline sedentary lifestyle as main responsible factor for hypokinetic diseases and reduction in quality of life (Rejeski et al, 1996). By contrast, among the elderly evidences show a positive relationship between regular physical activity and a high physical fitness on reduction of anxiety and depression levels, improving older peopleʼs quality of life (ACSM, 1998, 2000; Blair et al, 1995). Otherwise, the acquisition and maintenance of motor skills are critical to the preservation of an independent lifestyle and quality of life in the elderly (Rikli and Edwards, 1991). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between physical activity levels, physical fitness and quality of life among institutionalized and non-institutionalized older people. • Older people with institutional community dwelling had lower physical activity levels than non-institutionalized similar individuals. • Physical activity influences older people's functional capacity especially aerobic capacity, and quality of life in several domains. • The above results suggest that caring elderly in their own homes seems to provide higher activity patterns, functional capacities and quality of life

Editorial: Aportaciones a la investigación sobre la enseñanza de la gramática

La gramática, especialmente –pero no exclusivamente– en la educación secundaria, es un problema de largo recorrido (Rodríguez Gonzalo, 2011a: §1 y 2012) y, sin embargo, no resuelto en la actualidad (Camps, 2014). En la base, se sitúa el debate sobre gramática implícita (la que permite a los hablantes utilizar su propia lengua) y gramática explícita (la que permite reflexionar sobre la propia lengua y sobre las que se aprenden y la que permite, asimismo, regular el uso en cualquiera de ellas).Grammar, especially - but not exclusively - in secondary education, is a problem of long journey (Rodriguez, Gonzalo, 2011a: §1 and 2012) and, however, it's not resolved at present (Camps, 2014). At the base is the debate about implicit grammar (which allows speakers to use their own language) and explicit grammar (which allows us to think about their own language and of those that are learned and which also enables you to adjust the use in any of them).peerReviewe

Aspectos bibliográficos del TFG. Cómo citar y componer la bibliografía

Este capítulo intenta dar respuesta a una larga serie de preguntas que surgen en la redacción del trabajo de fin de grado (TFG): ¿cómo introducir en el texto las ideas y palabras de los autores consultados? ¿Cómo se citan las palabras de un autor citadas por otro trabajo? ¿Cómo plasmar todo lo que se ha leído? ¿Cómo incluirlo en la bibliografía? ¿Hay que poner lo que se ha leído, pero no se ha usado? ¿Cómo se citan las fuentes de red? ¿Qué hacer si la fuente consultada tiene más de un autor? ¿Y si no tiene fecha? Proponemos, por tanto, una reflexión sobre la importancia del manejo de las citas, la necesidad de exponer todas las fuentes consultadas y la relevancia que tiene un correcto referenciado bibliográfico. Asimismo, se aporta un resumen de la 6ª edición de las normas de la American Psychological Association (APA). El capítulo se cierra con una revisión de las herramientas de gestión bibliográfica más habituales
