Developing Unobtrusive Mobile Interactions: a Model Driven Engineering approach

In Ubiquitous computing environments, people are surrounded by a lot of embedded services. With the inclusion of pervasive technologies such as sensors or GPS receivers, mobile devices turn into an effective communication tool between users and the services embedded in their environment. All these services compete for the attentional resources of the user. Thus, it is essential to consider the degree in which each service intrudes the user mind when services are designed. In order to prevent service behavior from becoming overwhelming, this work, based on Model Driven Engineering foundations, is devoted to develop services according to user needs. In this thesis, we provide a systematic method for the development of mobile services that can be adapted in terms of obtrusiveness. That is, services can be developed to provide their functionality at different obtrusiveness levels by minimizing the duplication of efforts. For the system specification, a modeling language is defined to cope with the particular requirements of the context-aware user interface domain. From this specification, following a sequence of well-defined steps, a software solution is obtained.Gil Pascual, M. (2010).

Extracting Knowledge from Software Artefacts to Assist Software Project Stakeholders

Software development methods should foster the exploitation of artefacts from existing code bases in order to improve software development productivity. These artefacts are commonly stored in repositories from which extracting knowledge is very difficult for several reasons, i.e., the stored data is represented in a wide variety of formats or is not usually linked properly to all the related artefacts. In this work, we address the challenge of extracting knowledge from different artefacts that can be produced within a software project. To this end, we present a Persistent Knowledge Monitor (PKM) for handling several kinds of knowledge and information related to a software project. The PKM bases on the JSON format to structure and store the different artefacts. By using a common representation format, we are able to extract knowledge more easily. Also, we provide a query language for searching and reasoning on the stored data

La enseñanza de la escritura como base de futuros aprendizajes en Educación Infantil

Este trabajo gira en torno a la enseñanza-aprendizaje tanto de la escritura como de la lectura, ya que son unos de los conocimientos prioritarios de enseñanza dentro del ámbito educativo. Después de revisar las diferentes teorías publicadas acerca de la enseñanza de la escritura y sus principales metodologías, nos centraremos en la lectoescritura, en sus métodos y recursos, estableciendo un vínculo de unión con la propuesta de intervención en este ámbito. Para finalizar se exponen unas conclusiones críticas y reflexivas acerca de lo que ha supuesto la realización de este trabajo, junto con la bibliografía consultada.This work revolves around the teaching-learning in writing and reading, considering that they are both a priority knowledge in teaching within education. After reviewing the different theories published about the teaching of writing and their main methodologies, we will focus in the combination of reading and writing ('lectoescritura'), their methods and resources, establishing a link with an educational proposal for intervention. Finally, we explain critical and reflexive conclusions about what this work means, together with the bibliography.Grado en Educación Infanti

Currículum oculto visual y estereotipos de género en educación infantil

Las imágenes son elementos determinantes en la conformación de identidad de las personas. Este proyecto analiza el currículum oculto visual de un aula de educación infantil, poniendo el foco en lo que este transmite en relación a los roles de género. Para ello, se ha hecho un estudio teórico en relación con esta temática y un análisis de elementos pertenecientes al currículum oculto visual de un aula. Además, se han diseñado y en un caso implementado dos propuestas didácticas para hacer reflexionar a los niños/as sobre la influencia de las representaciones visuales en la conformación de sus identidades de género. Finalmente se recogen otros recursos pedagógicos para trabajar esta cuestión. Se concluye que la cultura visual que rodea a los/as niños/as configura y construye sus identidades en base a su sexo. Por ello, es fundamental que los docentes les mostremos un abanico amplio de posibilidades de ser para que crean su propia identidad.Illustrations are decisive important factors in one’s identity conformation. This paper analyses the visual curriculum in a preschool classroom, focusing on what it may transmit regarding gender roles. To do it, a theoretical review has been made, in which related to the topic are shown; as well as a deep analysis of the visual curriculum elements in a preschool classroom. The paper also includes different proposals, one of them put into practice, to make children think of the influence of visual representations in the process of their identity building. Finally, some other pedagogical resources are included to work this subject. To conclude, visual cultures in children’s environment configure their identities based on their sex. In this way, it is essential for teachers to show a wide variety of possibilities to be for children, so they can create their own identity.Graduado o Graduada en Maestro en Educación Infantil por la Universidad Pública de NavarraHaur Hezkuntzako Irakasletzan Graduatua Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa

El descubrimiento del espacio como tema transversal en Ciencias Sociales.

Este trabajo gira en torno al aprendizaje de la noción de espacio y el tiempo en los primeros años de enseñanza en Educación Primaria, ya que son unos de los conocimientos dentro del área de Ciencias Sociales más difíciles de concebir y de percibir en estas edades tan tempranas y que por con siguiente si no se adquieren con una buena base, puede llegar a acarrear problemas conceptuales que se arrastrarán para toda la vida. Después de revisar los diferentes trabajos realizados por expertos acerca de estos conceptos y establecer un vínculo con el currículum educativo diseñado por el Gobierno, nos centraremos en metodologías que ayuden al alumnado a adquirir de manera más práctica y sencilla estos conceptos. Y partiendo de estas, establecemos una propuesta docente de carácter transversal para segundo curso de Educación Primaria. Para finalizar se exponen unas conclusiones críticas y reflexivas acerca de lo que ha supuesto la realización de este trabajo.This work revolves around the learning of the concepts space and time in the first years of the teaching in Primary School, because it is one of the topics in Social Sciences most difficult to conceive and discern in the early years of childhood. Therefore, if these concepts are not acquired with a good basis, it could carry conceptual problems that the children will suffer for all of their lives. After revising different essays about these concepts from experts in this field and connecting them with the educative curriculum designed by the Government, we will focus in methodologies that help students in acquiring these concepts thorough a more practical and simple way. Beginning from these methodologies we will stablish a teaching proposal with a transversal feature for the second course of Primary School. To sum up, we present critical and reflexive conclusions about what the accomplishment of this work has meant.Grado en Educación Primari

Dietary Patterns and Their Association with Body Composition and Cardiometabolic Markers in Children and Adolescents: Genobox Cohort

Diet is a key factor for obesity development; however, limited data are available on dietary cluster analysis in children with obesity. We aimed to assess the associations between dietary patterns and obesity and several cardiometabolic markers. Anthropometry, bioelectrical impedance, blood pressure and plasma biomarkers of oxidative stress, inflammation and endothelial damage were determined in 674 Caucasian children, aged 5–16, with normal or excess weight. Using a food frequency questionnaire and cluster analysis, two consistent dietary patterns were shown, labeled as health conscious (HC) and sweet and processed (SP). The HC pattern included a greater proportion of participants with overweight/obesity than the SP cluster (80.1% vs. 63.8%). However, children with obesity within the HC cluster, showed less abdominal fat, through waist to hip (0.93 vs. 0.94) and waist to height (0.61 vs. 0.63) indexes (p < 0.01). Univariate general models showed several additional di erences in cardiometabolic risk biomarkers in the global and stratified analyses, with a healthier profile being observed mainly in the HC cluster. However, multivariate models questioned these findings and pointed out the need for further studies in this field. Anyhow, our findings support the benefits of a healthy diet and highlight the importance of dietary patterns in the cardiometabolic risk assessment of children with overweight/obesity, beyond weight control.Plan Nacional de Investigacion Cientifica, Desarrollo e Innovacion Tecnologica (I+D+I), Instituto de Salud Carlos III-Health Research Funding (FONDOS FEDER) PI05/1968 PI11/01425 PI11/02042 PI11/02059 PI16/01301 PI16/01205 PI1600871CIBEROBN Network CB15/00131 CB15/00043Juan de la Cierva-Formacion from the Spanish Government FJCI-2017-34967 FJCI-2014-19795Vice-Rectorate of Research and Transfer of the University of Granada, Spai
