Design of materials and educational resources adapted to ETCS: project of application of the new technologies to teaching of History of the Spanish Language and its varieties

The adaptation to the new European Higher Education Area favors the assumption of the new technologies as one of the means that improve the quality of education and the process of student’s learning. The best assimilation of the theoretical and practical contents of the different subjects and the stimulus that the use of these resources for the independent learning of the student supposes, justify the attention lent to the formal aspects of the educational methodology, and to its consequent didactic process. The project that we presented finds its justification in the measures that the University of Cadiz has started up in the occasion of the process of European Convergence, and that are materialized, in this case, in the Call of Educative Innovation of the educational and investigating personnel of the European Project. Our work assumes as main target the optimization of the educational resources, from the possibilities that offer new technical means, with the creation of educational, audio-visual and computerized material, adapted to the contents of the implied subjects, and with a joint work of the teaching staff who allows the creation of a repository of computerized material that has stable character and that can be taken advantage of by the group in its later educational work. In this sense, this contribution tries to show the different lines of performance that the members of the project develop at the present time, and that takes shape in the creation of different resources as the elaboration from presentations in Power Point, the computerization of real samples of speech and the creation of a model that allows to elaborate computerized text commentaries, from hyperlinks and different linksUniversidad de Cádiz, Vicerrectorado de Tecnologías de la Información e Innovación DocenteInted2009 Proceedings C

FabLabs: The Road to Distributed and Sustainable Technological Training through Digital Manufacturing

The fast expansion of digital culture has fostered the creation of makerspaces such as fabrication laboratories (FabLabs) that, thanks to their flexibility and their use of open source tools, strengthen the sense of community and produce true transformations within those communities. Despite their relevance, few studies focus on the characterization of these environments. This paper presents the results of the FabLab Global Survey, aimed at understanding the characteristics of FabLabs through the visions of their managers, or "FabManagers". The results show an enormous diversity of approaches within the FabLab movement that cannot be extrapolated to a single characteristic element, but that allow its global compression. Their properties reveal them as transforming elements that eliminate technological and cultural barriers, empowering user communities and optimizing learning processes regarding digital technology. FabLab activities allow not only economic and industrial development thanks to innovative projects, but also a digital technology approach for young students and the inclusion of minorities at risk, thus eliminating old cultural and social barriers

Esterification of Free Fatty Acids with Glycerol within the Biodiesel Production Framework

Companies in the field of the collection and treatment of waste cooking oils (WCO) for subsequent biodiesel production usually have to cope with high acidity oils, which cannot be directly transformed into fatty acid methyl esters due to soap production. Since glycerine is the main byproduct of biodiesel production, these high acidity oils could be esterified with the glycerine surplus to transform the free fatty acids (FFA) into triglycerides before performing the transesterification. In this work, commercial glycerol was esterified with commercial fatty acids and commercial fatty acid/lampante olive oil mixtures over tin (II) chloride. In the first set of experiments, the esterification of linoleic acid with glycerol excess from 20 to 80% molar over the stoichiometric was performed. From 20% glycerol excess, there was no improvement in FFA reduction. Using 20% glycerol excess, the performance of a biochar obtained from heavy metal-contaminated plant roots was compared to that of SnCl2. Then, the effect of the initial FFA content was assessed using different oleic acid/lampante olive oil mixtures. The results illustrated that glycerolysis was impeded at initial FFA contents lower than 10%. Finally, the glycerolysis of a WCO with 9.94% FFA was assayed, without success

La actividad de modelización en el ámbito de las relaciones espaciales en la educación infantil

En este trabajo mostraremos, en primer lugar, cómo el sistema de enseñanza no asume, en general, el desarrollo de las competencias necesarias para generar los conocimientos espaciales que todo ciudadano precisa para la vida diaria. En segundo lugar, esbozamos las diferencias existentes entre los conocimientos espaciales y los conocimientos geométricos, atendiendo a la génesis, el vocabulario, la organización de los conocimientos y la naturaleza de la validación. En tercer lugar, describimos la actividad modelización del espacio de forma analógica y geométrica, mostrando que, tanto una como otra, permiten establecer conexiones justificadas entre dos mundos: el mundo sensible y un modelo del mismo, cuyo régimen simbólico está dotado de reglas internas con muy distintos niveles de formalización. Por último, presentamos un conjunto de situaciones cuyo objetivo es que los alumnos de educación infantil realicen una actividad matemática de modelización espacio-analógica e incluso lleguen a aproximarse a la modelización geométrica

Viabilidad de los aparcamientos sobre rasante frente a los bajo rasante

This writing is intended to highlight the differences and economic resources between a parking lot built in two different situations; underground and above ground. To do so, is designed a model more integrated as possible in a specific urban reality with benefits and same construction characteristics, except those bound by its situation, so that they can be compared according to the theory of the global cost in construction area. So, has been implemented the model designed in two situations, underground and above ground, and studied and compared the costs of investment, exploitation, demolition and recycling, as well as a first assessment evaluation of the resources needed for the implementation of the same ones, with a 50-year life cycle.En este trabajo se pretende poner de manifiesto las diferencias económicas y de recursos entre un aparcamiento construido en dos situaciones distintas; bajo rasante y sobre rasante. Para ello, se ha diseñado un modelo lo más integrado posible en una realidad urbanística concreta, con prestaciones y características constructivas iguales, salvo las obligadas por su situación, de forma que puedan ser comparados a la luz de la teoría del coste global en edificación. Así, se ha implantado el modelo diseñado en las dos situaciones, bajo rasante y sobre rasante, y estudiado y comparado los costes de inversión, explotación, demolición y reciclaje. Se ha realizado también una primera evaluación de los recursos necesarios para la ejecución de los mismos, para un ciclo de vida de 50 años

Digital competences for smart learning during COVID-19 in higher education students from Spain and Latin America

Networked society before pandemic situation had become the context of a technology supported environment for learning and teaching. Since COVID-19 pandemic occurred learning happened essentially mediated through connected smart devices that demand digital skills and reinforced Smart learning. This study aims to present a descriptive and comparative analysis focusing on digital competences in three different areas: Use, Learning and Critical thinking, justified in a global situation of intensive use of technology. Each area was analyzed considering the five subareas of digital competence: information management, communication, content creation, safety and problem solving. The study was designed under a non-experimental quantitative methodology in which higher education students from Spain, Colombia, Ecuador, and Mexico participated (N=926). Results show significant differences among countries that could help to improve not only formal education in Higher Education, but the digital skills needed for lifelong learning among citizenship in next future conditioned by recent global situation of pandemic.This work is conducted with the support of the "Youtubers and Instagrammers: Media competence in emerging prosumers" Project (RTI2018-093303-B-I00)

Effect of thermo‐velocity barriers on fish: influence of water temperature, flow velocity and body size on the volitional swimming capacity of northern straight‐mouth nase (Pseudochondrostoma duriense)

Producción CientíficaWater temperature and flow velocity directly affect the fish swimming capacity, and thus, both variables influence the fish passage through river barriers. Nonetheless, their effects are usually disregarded in fishway engineering and management. This study aims to evaluate the volitional swimming capacity of the northern straight-mouth nase (Pseudochondrostoma duriense), considering the possible effects of water temperature, flow velocity and body size. For this, the maximum distance, swim speed and fatigue time (FT) were studied in an outdoor open-channel flume in the Duero River (Burgos, Spain) against three nominal velocities (1.5, 2.5 and 3 m s−1) and temperatures (5.5, 13.5 and 18.5°C), also including the changes between swimming modes (prolonged and sprint). Results showed that a nase of 20.8 cm mean fork length can develop a median swim speed that exceeds 20.7 BL s−1 (4.31 m s−1) during a median time of 3.4 s in sprint mode, or 12.2 BL s−1 (2.55 m s−1) for 23.7 s in prolonged mode under the warmest scenario. During prolonged swimming mode, fish were able to reach further distances in warmer water conditions for all situations, due to a greater swimming speed and FT, whereas during sprint mode, warmer conditions increased the swim speed maintaining the FT. In conclusion, the studied temperature range and flow velocity range influence fish swimming performance, endurance and distance travelled, although with some differences depending on the swimming mode. The provided information goes a step forward in the definition of real fish swimming capacities, and in turn, will contribute to establish clear passage criteria for thermo-velocity barriers, allowing the calculation of the proportion of fish able to pass a barrier under different working scenarios, as well designing of the optimized solutions to improve the fish passage through river barriers.Junta de Castilla y León (proyecto VA299B11-2)Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No. 10103202
