    Este artículo expone el proceso de investigación realizado para diseñar un modelo de formación para la sostenibilidad, en el marco del máster de Formación del Profesorado de Educación Secundaria. Los objetivos se centran en determinar los enfoques teóricos, los contenidos prioritarios y las metodologías docentes más eficaces y adecuadas para incorporar la sostenibilidad a las asignaturas del máster. Partimos del paradigma sociocrítico y recabamos información de tres fuentes: la opinión de profesores expertos mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas, una encuesta a los estudiantes sobre sus conocimientos y un estudio de caso del Schumacher College, mediante diversas técnicas de recogida de datos. Como resultado, presentamos el Modelo de Formación para la Acción Transformadora hacia la Sostenibilidad (MFATS) que ofrece orientación para el diseño de las asignaturas.This article exposes the research process carried out to design a training model for sustainability, within the framework of the Master's Degree in High School Teacher's Training. The goals were focused on determining the theoretical approaches, the priority contents and the most effective and appropriate teaching methodologies to incorporate sustainability into the Master's subjects. We start from the sociocritical paradigm and collect information from three sources: the opinion of expert professors through semi-structured interviews, a survey of students about their knowledge and a case study of Shumacher College, through various data collection techniques. As a result, we present the Training Model for Transformative Action towards Sustainability (MFATS) that offers guidance for the design of the subjects

    Ante la demanda de impulsar cambios más globales en la concepción del proceso educativo, presentamos un trabajo basado en la aplicación de los principios de la sostenibilidad en el marco del Máster de Formación del profesorado de secundaria que ofrece la Universitat de Girona. En esta propuesta de innovación docente mostramos de qué forma los estudiantes experimentan, desde un rol activo, tres metodologías activas diferentes:   Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas, Aprendizaje por Servicio y el aprendizaje reflexivo a través del Portafolio Docente. Según muestran los resultados, los participantes no solamente mejoran en sus propias habilidades de pensamiento crítico y sistémico, auto-regulación del aprendizaje, capacidad de transformación y reflexión, además desarrollan herramientas para poder aplicarlas a lo largo de su futura actividad profesional como profesores de secundaria capaces de innovar y de transformar el sistema. Detallamos como está enmarcada  y justificada esta propuesta y describimos como se llevó a la práctica sin obviar las diferentes formas de evaluación, y exponemos algunas de las opiniones de los estudiante

    This research has as main objective to know the perception and the projection regarding the social and environmental problems of children in primary education. That is, to know what children nowadays think about the social and environmental problems of the Earth and how they see the future of our planet. In the research, drawing is used as an element of expression, both at local and global vision and with the temporal coordinates of present and future. In the results of the research, children express in their drawings a clear awareness and deep feeling towards the social and environmental problems of our planet and express their concern for the future

    The effect of a live music therapy intervention on critically ill paediatric patients in the intensive care unit: A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest study

    Background: Music therapy as a nonpharmacological means of managing patient pain, anxiety, and discomfort is a recognised technique, although it is not widely used in the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the clinical effect of a live music therapy intervention on vital signs and levels of discomfort and pain for paediatric patients in the PICU. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental pretesteposttest study. The music therapy intervention was carried out by two music therapists who were specifically trained, each possessing a master's degree in the field of hospital music therapy. Ten minutes before the start of the music therapy session, the investigators recorded the vital signs of the patients and assessed their levels of discomfort and pain. The procedure was repeated at the start of the intervention; at 2, 5, and 10 min during the intervention; and at 10 min following the conclusion of the intervention. Results: Two hundred fifty-nine patients were included; 55.2% were male, with a median age of 1 year (0 e21). A total of 96 (37.1%) patients suffered a chronic illness. The main reason for PICU admission was respiratory illness, at 50.2% (n ¼ 130). Significantly lower values were observed for heart rate (p ¼ 0.002), breathing rate (p < 0.001), and degree of discomfort (p < 0.001) during the music therapy session. Conclusions: Live music therapy results in reduced heart rates, breathing rates, and paediatric patient discomfort levels. Although music therapy is not widely used in the PICU, our results suggest that using interventions such as that used in this study could help reduce patient discomfor

    Impacts of Use and Abuse of Nature in Catalonia with Proposals for Sustainable Management

    This paper provides an overview of the last 40 years of use, and in many cases abuse, of the natural resources in Catalonia, a country that is representative of European countries in general, and especially those in the Mediterranean region. It analyses the use of natural resources made by mining, agriculture, livestock, logging, fishing, nature tourism, and energy production and consumption. This use results in an ecological footprint, i.e., the productive land and sea surface required to generate the consumed resources and absorb the resulting waste, which is about seven times the amount available, a very high number but very similar to other European countries. This overexploitation of natural resources has a huge impact on land and its different forms of cover, air, and water. For the last 25 years, forests and urban areas have each gained almost 3% more of the territory at the expense of agricultural land; those municipalities bordering the sea have increased their number of inhabitants and activity, and although they only occupy 6.7% of the total surface area, they account for 43.3% of the population; air quality has stabilized since the turn of the century, and there has been some improvement in the state of aquatic ecosystems, but still only 36% are in good condition, while the remainder have suffered morphological changes and different forms of nonpoint source pollution; meanwhile the biodiversity of flora and fauna remains still under threat. Environmental policies do not go far enough so there is a need for revision of the legislation related to environmental impact and the protection of natural areas, flora, and fauna. The promotion of environmental research must be accompanied by environmental education to foster a society which is more knowledgeable, has more control and influence over the decisions that deeply affect it. Indeed, nature conservation goes hand in hand with other social and economic challenges that require a more sustainable vision. Today's problems with nature derive from the current economic model, which is environmentally unsustainable in that it does not take into account environmental impacts. Lastly, we propose a series of reasonable and feasible priority measures and actions related to each use made of the country's natural resources, to the impacts they have had, and to their management, in the hope that these can contribute to improving the conservation and management of the environment and biodiversity and move towards sustainability

    El proceso de convergencia europea de los títulos universitarios ha abierto el debate sobre la formación de los graduados y las competencias que deben adquirir en su currículo universitario. En este contexto, el concepto de sostenibilidad se consolida como elemento de interés común que afecta a todos los ámbitos sociales y profesionales. La ambientalizacion curricular de los estudios superiores es considerada en muchas universidades un elemento indicador del grado de compromiso. Las características que definen un currículo ambientalizado son, entre otras, compromiso para transformar las relaciones sociedad-naturaleza; complejidad; orden disciplinar, flexibilidad y permeabilidad; importancia del sujeto y consideración de los aspectos cognitivos y afectivos de las personas..CataluñaMadrid (Comunidad Autónoma).

    Juego de equilibrios

    To undertake large-scale projects requires organising a team that is very large in size. To aide this kind of team organisation ICT, 3D modelling, and File Organisation programmes can be of great use. The danger, however, of using content sharing sites and 3D tools is to believe that everything that can be modelled can be built. This article presents different ways in which the architectural-technological relationship can be understood, and is supported by using the example of the Fondation Louis Vuitton pour la Création project. Locating boundaries, confronting technological challenges, rationalising projects, and building whilst maintaining the magic of the original idea is a task for both the architect and the engineer: key for the success of the project
