Active filter to improve the energetic efficiency in electric installations.

The Department of Electrical Engineering of the University Carlos III of Madrid has developed a prototype of active filter to compensate the disturbances that a nonlinear load produces. The active filters appears like the dynamic solution that best fits to the needs of compensation of electrical disturbances in industrial facilities. This active filter allows correcting the power factor of the installation. With this improvement, electrical consumes are reduced, which results in significant cost savings

The childhood at the threshold of modernity: three infant figures in Cosme San Martin paintings

Indexación: Revista UNAB.El siguiente texto busca reflexionar en torno a la representación de tres figuras infantiles en la obra pictórica de Cosme San Martin. Las pinturas de San Martin se inscriben dentro del período en que la sociedad chilena experimentó los cambios provenientes del proceso de modernización, los cuales estaban tramados con la tensión entre civilización y barbarie. A partir de la comprensión de la figura del niño como metáfora de la joven república, estas obras muestran la modernización de nuestra sociedad, el progreso de las ciudades, la importancia asignada a la instrucción para alcanzar un nivel de país avanzado, el camino por el cual transitar, en otras palabras, desde la barbarie a la civilización.The following article proposes to analyze the representation of childhood in the work of Chilean painter Cosme San Martin. San Martin’s paintings were made in the time when Chilean society was facing the changes associated with the arriving of modernity and are related to the tension between civilization and barbarianism. From the conception of the child figure as a metaphor of the young republic, it can be observed how the artist suggests the modernization of our society and how that is linked to the importance of education on the goal of becoming a refined country, a path to follow in order to go from barbarism to civilization.http://revistahumanidades.unab.cl//wp-content/uploads/2017/06/La-imagen-del-ni%C3%B1o-en-el-umbral-de-la-modernidad.-Tres-figuras-infantiles-en-la-pintura-de-Cosme-San-Martin.pd

Desvelando al Perú: La revelación de las Grandes Miradas

Through a language tainted by an apocalyptic vision, in 2005 the writer Alonso Cueto causes a deep impression on the public with a novel about one of the scariest times of the Andean country: Grandes miradas. This novel evokes the nonsense imposed by the duo Fujimori-Montesinos; they become kings in a coven, they are demons who prevent the end of days. The death of Guido, a judge of the good, in the manner of Jesus Christ-cedes the throne of heavenly power to Gabriela, his girlfriend, fallen angel who put on an equal footing with the beast "Montesinos" to reveal the truth that citizens from Lima have forgotten under the anmesia cultivated. This book reaches its climax with a recreation of the Revelations: the process of unmasking the Absolute Evil. Reality and mythology are mixed to light a Postmodern Apocalypse, embodied in the struggle of ordinary people against dictatorships disguised by the absolute power

Biografías narrativas: la emoción como aliciente en el proceso de alfabetización

En este artículo, se analizan biografías lectoras de alumnado del Grado en Maestro de Educación Infantil, es decir, relatos de la experiencia de vida relacionada directamente con el proceso de alfabetización o de lectura. Esta narrativa se plantea desde una perspectiva personal que contempla las emociones positivas y negativas en relación con la literatura. De este análisis, se extrae una serie de estrategias de animación a la lectura comunes como la dramatización, la creación personal, los debates sobre el libro, etc. Estas experiencias confluyen en la necesidad de una lectura mediada más allá de la etapa infantil, la lectura colectiva, la relación de las temáticas de la lectura con los gustos e intereses del lector/a, y la participación del alumno/a en el acto creador

Teachers of Secondary School as democracy coaches: study of their conceptions during their initial formation

This study has been developed within the framework of a European Erasmus + project called ELEF†. The aim of this project is to develop, implement, evaluate and replicate innovative democratic learning environments. With this purpose, the Democracy Coaches are trained as agents of citizen participation and generators of democracy, both in educational centres and in informal educational settings. In this context, and during various training sessions, the Democracy Coaches work with the knowledge and skills they need to acquire. This paper focuses on the study and analysis carried out on the concepts expressed by these teachers of secondary education during their training. In order for them to become democracy coaches in the formal educational field, we address concepts such as democracy, citizenship and the most appropriate teaching-learning methodology for illustrating these concepts and competences, bearing in mind that they should educate citizens with full awareness of their rights and duties
