Comfort and energy consumption in a hybrid tunnel-type broiler barn in different bioclimatic zones of Brazil

La producción avícola está influenciada directamente por sus condiciones ambientales, y por ende, las condiciones de confort, bienestar animal y consumo energético de las instalaciones. El objetivo de este estudio fue realizar una evaluación de las necesidades de climatización para un galpón de presión negativa en modo túnel (hibrido), en 12 ciudades brasileras ubicadas en las 8 zonas bioclimáticas del país. Se encontró que las ciudades ubicadas en las zonas bioclimáticas 1 y 2 requieren mayor consumo de energía para la calefacción durante la primera fase (0-21 días), mientras que las zonas 7 y 8, requieren más energía para enfriamiento durante la segunda fase (22-42 días). Las ciudades ubicadas en las zonas 3, 4, 5 y 6 presentan las mejores condiciones de confort y el mayor ahorro energético para las dos fases

Flipped classroom in primary education teacher’s degree: strength and weakness

[EN] This article presents the results of an innovation experience carried out with first year students of the Primary Education Teacher’s Degree. Based on global trends in favour of curricular methodologies to encourage the development of autonomous and collaborative learning capacities in students, a group of teacher’s members of the Educational Innovation Group EIEGID, who teach in the subject School Organization and Resources in Education, has sought a progressive graduation in the difficulty and prominence to be assumed by the students in the learning tasks. The aim was to overcome the dichotomy of theoretical classes and practical classes, contemplating different methodologies, but sharing their features: foster student autonomy, seek motivation, take risks and develop alternative responses, promoting responsibility, with options to experiment and encourage the development of an attitude of permanent improvement. To do this, tasks are proposed that allowed to face unforeseen events, t[ES] Este artículo presenta los resultados de una experiencia de innovación realizada con alumnos de primer curso del Grado de Maestro de Educación Primaria. Partiendo de las tendencias globales a favor del fomento de capacidades de aprendizaje autónomo y colaborativo, un grupo de profesores miembros del Grupo de Innovación Docente EIE-GID, ha buscado una graduación progresiva en la dificultad y protagonismo a asumir por el alumnado en las tareas de aprendizaje.

The role of late Quaternary tectonic activity and sea-level changes on sedimentary processes interaction in the Gulf of Cadiz upper and middle continental slope (SW Iberia)

A morphological and seismic-stratigraphic analysis of the Gulf of Cadiz area near the Strait of Gibraltar is presented in this work, focused on the sedimentary evolution of the upper and proximal middle-continental slope since the Mid-Pleistocene. Based on the analysis of seismic reflection profiles and swath bathymetry data, this work analyses the close influence of the activity of buried and outcropping diapiric ridges and late Quaternary sea-level changes on the evolution of contouritic features related to the Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW) and Eastern North Atlantic Central Water (ENACW), gravitational features and fluid-escape structures. The stratigraphic architecture reveals that, under active diapiric deformation, the upper slope plastered drift grew during low sea-level stages, when sediment supply was high and the ENACW swept the upper slope, contrasting with the present-day highstand situation dominated by northwest-trending MOW flow. The south-estward ENACW flow forced asymmetry and lateral migration of gullies incised in the plastered drift. Two evolutionary stages have been established: 1) After the Mid Pleistocene, activity of diapirs with a NE trend determined the location of the deepest depressions which were infilled by plastered contouritic drifts; 2) Between Late Quaternary and present, a drastic change of buried diapirs growth pattern and orientation to a NW trend enhanced slope-derived gravitational processes affecting the bottom current dynamics. Adjustments to tectonic changes led to a phase of plastered drift growth on the upper slope during which depocenters varied their distribution and orientation. In a long-term the structural control on sedimentation shows a northwestward displacement of deformation, resulting in an overall extension of the contourite depositional system to the NW. In a short-term, sea-level changes favored drift deposition, gullies incision and the strengthening of water masses. This work evidences the importance of tectonic deformation in sedimentation at recent time scales, and the twodirectional interplay between recent tectonic activity and bottom current dynamics.Versión del edito

Antioxidant activity of alkaloids from Bocconia arborea. A study on six testing methods

El fraccionamiento de la actividad antioxidante dirigida por actividad, junto con el análisis químico, llevaron al aislamiento de tres alcaloides de benzofenantridina del extracto de metanol de la corteza de Bocconia arborea. La identificación se basó en métodos espectroscópicos. Se analizó la actividad antioxidante de los alcaloides aislados 6- acetonildihidroqueleritrina, queleritrina y dihidroqueleritrina en ensayos de tiocianato, la actividad de barrido de los radicales libres, el método de decoloración del b-caroteno y el ensayo de la desoxirribosa. Todos los alcaloides mostraron actividad antioxidante significativa en ácido linoleico y b-caroteno. Además de conceder protección frente a la desoxirribosa, la peroxidación liposómica y los lípidos microsomiales de la peroxidación, también presentaron efectos de barrido en los radicales de 1,1-difenil-2-picrilhidrazil.Antioxidative activity-guided fractionation together with chemical analysis led to the isolation of three benzophenanthridine alkaloids from methanol extract of the bark of Bocconia arborea. Identification was based on spectroscopic methods. The isolated alkaloids 6-acetonyldihydrochelerythrine, chelerythrine and dihydrochelerythrine were tested for antioxidative activity on thiocyanate assays, free radical scavenging activity, b-carotene bleaching method, and deoxyribose assay. All alkaloids exhibited significant antioxidant activities in linoleic acid and b-carotene. Although afforded protection against the damage of deoxyribose, liposome peroxidation and microsomial lipid from peroxidation, also exhibited scavenging effects on the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radicals

Software público, libre, abierto, gratuito, privativo y comercial para la innovación y mejora de la calidad en la docencia, investigación, gestión y asistencia

The public free software (now renamed as open software) is the basis of the open source software (OSS) project. This initiative promotes the use of open standards and platform-independent accessibility. Many OSS products are free or low cost, which allows their deployment even in the absence of large economic resources (developing countries, schools, etc.). Besides, their source code can be modified, adapted and optimized by anyone, since it is public. Nevertheless, the OSS may also have drawbacks. Thus, its development may not be as orderly and hierarchical as the privative software is, and may not have an appropriate funding. This may jeopardize the ease of use and coherence of the final product, increasing the transition, training and technical support costs. Besides, it must be taken into account that there is also commercial open software, as well as free privative software. In any case, the excellence of the software may be independent of such variables. Thus, the best strategy is the coexistence and free competition of all kinds of software. This will allow a quality improvement and an innovation enhancement, which will benefit the education, research, management and assistance at the university in particular and at the whole society in general.El software público libre es el fundamento del movimiento de software de fuente abierta (OSS). Éste puede facilitar el uso de estándares abiertos, con accesibilidad independiente de plataforma informática. El bajo coste o gratuidad de muchos productos OSS permite su implantación cuando los recursos económicos son escasos (países en desarrollo, escuelas, etc.). Además, su código se puede modificar, adaptar y mejorar por cualquiera, ya que es público. No obstante, el OSS también puede presentar inconvenientes. Así, su desarrollo puede no ser tan ordenado y jerárquico como el del software privativo y puede no tener una financiación apropiada. De este modo, puede verse comprometida la facilidad de uso y coherencia del producto final. Ello puede incrementar los costes de transición, entrenamiento y soporte técnico. Por otra parte, conviene recordar que existe software libre comercial y software privativo gratuito. En cualquier caso, la excelencia del software puede ser independiente de dichas variables. Por tanto, la mejor estrategia es la coexistencia y libre competencia de todo tipo de software. Así se puede conseguir una mejora de calidad y una potenciación de la innovación, que beneficie a la docencia, investigación, gestión y asistencia universitarias en particular, así como a la sociedad en general

El Canal de Diego Cao y sus depresiones morfológicas (margen del Banco del Guadalquivir, Golfo de Cádiz). Implicaciones oceanográficas y sedimentológicas

The Diego Cao channel is located on the central-north middle slope of the Gulf of Cadiz. It separates the Bartolomeu Dias and Faro sheeted drift plateaus to the north of the Guadalquivir Bank margin uplift. A striking linear series of circular depressions occur parallel to the channel on the Bartolomeu Dias sheeted drift (western channel flank), while a remarkable amphitheater-shaped escarpment affects the channel eastern flank. Their morphological and high- and medium-resolution stratigraphic analysis allows inferring their origin as the result of a complex interplay between oceanographic (bottom currents), mass-wasting and tectonic processes. All features seem to have a common origin, related to an especially active tectonic phase during the Mid-Pleistocene, probably related to adjustments of the deep structural features. Since then, the action of the bottom currents and the local influence of structural processes have shaped the present-day topography. The Diego Cao channel is re-interpreted as a contourite moat associated to a complex mounded, separated drift that includes the circular depressions. They result from contourite deposition over the erosional surface originated by widespread mass-wasting events during the Mid-Pleistocene.Versión del edito

Frontal sinus mucocele with intracranial and intraorbital extension

ABSTRACT Introduction: Frontal sinus mucoceles can present with a multitude of different symptoms including ophthalmic disturbances. Even benign, they have a tendency to expand by eroding the surrounding bony walls that displaces and destroys structures by pressure and bony resorption. Case report: A 32-year-old man with diplopia, proptosis of the right eye and headache was presented. The diagnosis was frontal sinus mucocele with intracranial and intraorbital extension. Possible clinical manifestations of mucoceles, diagnostic imaging techniques and treatment used are discussed. Conclusion: Frontal mucoceles are benign and curable, early recognition and management of them is of paramount importance, because they can cause local, orbital or intracranial complications
