Experiència recent en l'adaptació de la Bioquímica general de medicina a l'Espai Europeu d'Educació Superior

La Bioquímica és una materia anual del 1er any de Medicina, on els curs 2006-2007 hem tingut 431 alumnes matriculats. Els professors del 2n quatrimestre de la matèria, dedicat a l'estudi del metabolisme, hem endegat un pla per potenciar l'aprenentatge basat en l'estudiant, una de les accions proposades a la declaració de Glasgow de la EUA. El pla ha consistit en reduïr a la meitat el nombre de classes magistrals i crear sessions d'autoaprenentatge tutoritzat (SA T). Les classes magistrals s'han impartit en grans grups (100-120 alumnes) 2 cops per setmana en sessions d'una hora conduïdes per un únic professor per a tots els alumnes. Els SAT, en canvi, s'han impartit en grups petits (20 alumnes) un cop per setmana en sessions de 2 hores. Cada professor ha estat a càrrec dels mateixos 2 grups tot el quatrimestre. El format SAT parteix d'una proposta que el professor encarregat de la conferència del tema específic deixa al Campus Virtual, consistent en un seguit de qüestions de caire variat (teòric, pràctic, clínic), i relacionada tant amb aspectes tractats a la conferència com d'autoaprenentatge. Amb aquest material, els alumnes posen en comú les idees que han trovat sobre cada qüestió. La dinàmica participativa es veu afavorida pel tamany reduït de cada grup i la complicitat que s'estableix amb el professor. Atenent als resultats d'una enquesta anònima, la valoració de les SAT ha estat força positiva: de 216 alumnes que van respondre, entre el 49 i el 62%, depenent de la qüestió plantejada, han valorat molt positivament aquesta activitat, entre el 30 i el 40% l'ha valorat com neutra, i només entre el 7 i el 20% ha expressat una valoració negativa.Biochemistry is a 1st year, 2-semester compulsory subject in the UAB Medical School syllabus, where 431 students were enrolled during the course 2006-2007. The lecturers in charge of the 2nd semester, which deals with the study of metabolism, have started a new teaching plan paying more attention to active student learning, one of the items stressed in the Glasgow declaration of the EUA. The plan consisted of reducing the number of formal lectures by half, and the creation of tutorized self learning sessions (SAT). Lectures were taught to big groups (100-120 students), by different lecturers, and were scheduled twice a week in 1-hour sessions. In contrast, SAT were conducted with reduced, 20-student groups, once a week in 2-hour sessions, and each lecturer tutorized the same 2 groups during the whole semester. Students, who had to download the SAT material from the Campus Virtual site one week in advance, faced different theoretical, practical, or clinical proposals. During the SAT, they shared their previous knowledge on the subject, their bibliographic research, even their doubts and fears in a more friendly atmosphere. After the results obtained in an anonymous survey that was answered by 216 students, SAT have been very positively perceived by 49-62% of them, and only 7-20% report a negative opinion

Talent Goes Social: Online Corporate Networking and Business Performance

[EN] This study examines the effect of online social talent on business performance. The paper uses data from a selected sample of 296 companies from the S&P 500 list with active corporate profiles on LinkedIn. The empirical design consists of non-linear techniques to test the hypothesis that financial performance (i.e., revenue) and online social talent (i.e., employee online profile and skills) have a positive and non-linear relationship. The findings show that internal online social talent measured by employees' online profiles, and their skills are positively associated with companies' financial performance. The study provides insights into talent management in the digital age and elucidates the role of online corporate social networking in business performance.This research was funded by MICINN (Spanish Government), grant number RTI2018-100899-B-I00 and Generalitat Valenciana, grant number GV/2020/012.Paniagua, J.; Peris-Ortiz, M.; Korzynski, P.

Análisis de los criterios para el desarrollo de aplicaciones interactivas para pequeñas y medianas empresas: el caso de las aplicaciones en entornos de proyectos de instalaciones

The research examines the criteria that should be considered to pose an interactive application in relation to the needs of the engineer-designer-user in the "small and medium enterprises" background. It also appears the need to consider the possibility of creating interactive applications which let perform diffferent installation projects. The general hypothesis starting point is the use of interactive applications as a standard tool in small and medium enterprises working in engineering facilities, improving business productivity, reducing errors and improving project acquisition and knowledge management users. Considering the areas, the purposes and the goals of this research, it responds to the problematic aspects of the installation projects and the problems that need to be solved in the interactive applications. It also responds to the possibility of generating interactive applications that meet the needs of small and medium enterprises in the engineering environment and also creats interactive applications wich help to control over the installations projects. The needs assessment of small and medium enterprises in the project engineering area has been perfomed by using empirical data adquired by analyzing the characteristics of the investigated companies, their capability on creating its known-how, the way of how they implement their methodology in the project performing and their information, learning and development projects needs. In the setting of this research theoretical proposals are reviewed relating the project implementation rules and it is also analyzed the standards and norms that affect the activity projects and the installation projects. It's also discussed the administrative procedures of enginnering project processing record. Finally, the thesis explores in the influence of technological innovation in the business environment, on the way that affects the organizational structure, and points out the influences the new competitive dynamics in the in the new information societ
