We applied a peer validated questionnaire to 283 history teachers from seven countries, analyzing their answers using a deductive-inductive method supported by IBM SSPS software (version 23). The analysis reveal that heritage continues to have little presence in lessons, mostly used as an example of historical narratives that highlight the national identity over others.Este artigo analisa as concepções de professores do ensino médio ibero-americanos sobre o papel do ensino de história na criação de identidades coletivas e como o patrimônio pode impactar as aulas de história. Aplicamos um questionário validado por pares a 283 professores de história de sete países, analisando suas respostas usando um método dedutivo-indutivo apoiado pelo software IBM SSPS (versão 23). As análises revelam que o patrimônio continua tendo pouca presença nas aulas, sendo usado principalmente como um exemplo de narrativas históricas que destacam a identidade nacional em detrimento de outras

Diseño y Desarrollo Software para la Gestión de Sensores Biomédicos basado en la Norma X73

Cada vez se desarrollan más dispositivos capaces de obtener medidas relacionadas con la salud que tienen la necesidad de transmitir la información a sistemas con mayor capacidad de computación para el análisis de datos con el fin de permitir el diagnóstico de enfermedades, la prevención de situaciones de riesgo o la propia gestión de la enfermedad. El problema que se presenta en este ámbito es la falta de normalización en la comunicación de la información obtenida por los sensores. El estudio de la situación actual de la Norma IEEE 11073 (en adelante referida también como X73) es determinante a la hora de acercarse a una solución factible que resuelva el problema de la interoperabilidad entre dispositivos. Igualmente, conocer el estado del arte tanto del estándar Bluetooth de Baja Energía (BLE, del inglés Bluetooth Low Energy) como de su compatibilidad con el modelo de datos de X73, constituye el primer acercamiento al asunto en cuestión y sienta las bases de este trabajo. La presente propuesta pretende determinar las directrices que permitan la implementación de un software para la gestión de sensores biomédicos y garantizar la comunicación, de acuerdo con la Norma IEEE 11073, de manera exitosa entre el sensor y el dispositivo que procesará los datos. Concretamente, el diseño propuesto transfiere la información estructurada según la Norma X73 sobre un canal BLE, para un monitor de bioimpedancia diseñado por investigadores del Grupo de Ingeniería Biomédica de la Universidad de Sevilla, en el que se ha desarrollado el presente Trabajo Fin de Grado. Con la estandarización de este proceso se persigue dotar de consistencia y coherencia a este tipo de comunicaciones; de manera que cualquier dispositivo biomédico, emisor o receptor, sea capaz de enviar o recibir información conforme a un modelo común independientemente de su fabricante. El diseño de este módulo de comunicaciones conforme a la Norma IEEE 11073 abre la puerta a su aplicación en diferentes sensores y dispositivos dentro del ámbito de la e-salud, facilitando su desarrollo e integración con otros sistemas; siempre dentro del estándar establecido por la Norma IEEE 11073.We are facing more and more devices that are capable of obtaining health-related measurements needed to transmit information to systems with greater computing capacity for data analysis in order to allow the diagnosis of diseases, the prevention of risk situations or enable a person to manage their own disease. The main problem in this area is the lack of standardization in the communication of the information obtained by the sensors. The study of the current situation of the IEEE 11073 Standard (from now on referred to as X73) is decisive when approaching a feasible solution that solves the problem of interoperability between devices. Likewise, knowing the state of the art of both the Bluetooth Low Energy Standard and its compatibility with the data model of X73 constitutes the first approach to the matter in question and lays the basis for this work. The present proposal aims at determining the guidelines that allow the implementation of a software for the management of biomedical sensors and ensure a successful communication, in accordance with IEEE 11073, successfully between the sensor and the device that will process the data. Specifically, the proposed design transfers the structured information according to X73 Standard on a BLE channel, for a bioimpedance monitor designed at the Biomedical Engineering Group of the University of Seville, where this project has been developed. With the standardization of this process it is sought to provide consistency and coherence to this type of communications; so that any biomedical device, transmitter or receiver, is able to send or receive information according to a common model regardless its manufacturer. The design of this communications module according to IEEE 11073 opens the door to its application to different sensors and devices within the field of e-health, facilitating its development and integration with other systems; always within the framework established by the IEEE 11073 Standard.Universidad de Sevilla.

Educommunication and archaeological heritage in Italy and Spain: an analysis of institutions’ use of Twitter, sustainability, and citizen participation

Improving heritage educommunication on the web 2.0 is key to reaching certain sustainable development goals focused on educational quality and citizen participation. Although numerous partial studies have already been conducted, to date neither assessment tools nor detailed studies are available regarding the quality of educommunicative initiatives. Spain and Italy’s archaeological heritage museums have a consolidated track record on Twitter, which has been bolstered by museum closures due to COVID-19 and has resulted in a significant change to their educommunicative policies. The present article aims to analyze educommunicative actions undertaken on Twitter at Italian archaeological museums, compare their strategies with a previous study on Spanish institutions, and analyze to what degree the sustainability of heritage, citizen participation, learning opportunities, and universal access are being promoted. This mixed method analysis was carried out through the implementation of a web 2.0 heritage educommunication analysis tool focused on three key factors: educational procedure, R-elational interactions, and the prevailing learning paradigm, as well as a content analysis of the variables that comprise them. The key findings suggest that neither country is close to achieving a quality educommunicative strategy. Italian archaeological heritage institutions use Twitter simply as an advertising platform. Despite being a social media platform, participative initiatives are scarcely promoted, although heritage sustainability is promoted through raising awareness of conservation and appreciation. Spanish institutions, however, demonstrated the opposite pattern of use

Diversidad diferencial de esporas de Glomeromycota en la rizosfera de bromeliáceas nativas del Parque Nacional Sierra de las Quijadas (San Luis, Argentina)

Los hongos micorrícicos arbusculares (HMA) están ampliamente distribuidos en distintos ambientes y forman con la mayoría de las plantas asociaciones simbióticas denominadas micorrizas arbusculares. Bromeliaceae es una familia americana que habita desde los trópicos hasta zonas templadas y áridas. En el Parque Nacional Sierra de las Quijadas (San Luis, Argentina) las especies terrestres de Bromeliaceae están colonizadas por HMA, presentando distintos grados de asociación. El objetivo de este trabajo fue estudiar la diversidad (riqueza y densidad) de esporas de HMA en el suelo rizosférico de tres especies nativas de Bromeliaceae del Parque Nacional Sierra de las Quijadas. Riqueza y densidad de esporas difirieron significativamente entre las especies de Bromeliaceae estudiadas, siendo siempre marcadamente menores los valores obtenidos en Bromelia urbaniana, mientras que Deuterocohnia longipetala y Dyckia floribunda presentaron los mayores valores y sólo difirieron entre sí en la riqueza de HMA. Esta diversidad diferencial de esporas de HMA observada, podría tener relación con la especie hospedante y a su vez, con los distintos grados de colonización radical de cada especie. La escasa riqueza y densidad de esporas de HMA en B. urbaniana podría deberse tanto a un efecto alelopático de esta planta como a su particular morfología radical.Fil: Rivero Mega, Maria Soledad.

Situation analysis of the integration of family planning services in postpartum, postabortion and prevention of mother to child transmission programs in the Dominican Republic

A diagnostic study of the provision and use of contraception in postpartum, postabortion, and prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) programs in the Dominican Republic was conducted with funding from USAID. The objectives of the study were to assess the contraceptive knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of providers and clients; the degree to which information, counseling, and delivery are implemented in postpartum, postabortion, and PMTCT services; the quality of these services; and the readiness of postpartum, postabortion, and PMTCT services to offer contraceptive services. The report finds that family planning services are linked to antenatal, delivery, and postpartum care in most of the health units visited and, to a lesser degree, to the integral care provided for persons living with HIV. These and other key findings were shared with the MOH directors of maternal and child health services and other stakeholders. Based on this project’s findings, the report lists key recommendations to improve postpartum and postabortion family planning services in the Dominican Republic

Paleoenvironmental and ecological changes during the Eocene-Oligocene transition based on foraminifera from the Cap Bon Peninsula in North East Tunisia

Biostratigraphic analysis of the Eocene-Oligocene transition (E-O) at the Menzel Bou Zelfa and Jhaff composite section in the Cap Bon Peninsula (North East Tunisia) allowed us to recognize a continuous planktic foraminiferal biozonation: E14 Globigerinatheka semiinvoluta Zone, E15 Globigerinatheka index Zone, E16 Hantkenina alabamensis Zone and O1 Pseudohastigerina naguewichiensis Zone. A quantitative study of benthic and planktic foraminifera assemblages was carried out and the richness and diversity of foraminifera allowed us to reconstruct the paleoenvironmental evolution from marine to terrestrial environments. From the Eocene E14 Zone, the foraminiferal association characterizes a relatively warm climate with considerable oxygen content and a dominance of keeled and spinose planktic foraminifera, which became extinct at the E/O boundary, possibly due to cooling of the planktic environment. Nevertheless, the small benthic foraminifera do not show an extinction event at the Eocene/Oligocene (E/O) boundary, indicating that the benthic environment was not significantly affected. In the basal Oligocene O1 Zone, the benthic environment changes to a shallower setting due to cooling of the climate. These changes generated a remarkable dominance of globular forms in the planktic environment. Small benthic foraminifera apparently have a gradual extinction event, or more likely a gradual pattern of local disappearances, that could have been caused by the Oi1 glaciation
