Green environmentally sustainable flipped classrooms using social networks

The objective of this study is to implement the model of flipped classrooms through the use of social networks to improve the attendance and academic performance of master students in management of virtual environments for learning (600 UCSM Scholarship) in the province of Mariscal Nieto, Moquegua region. To this end, a non experimental cross-sectional design study was carried out. In addition, the study was explanatory, the sample was composed by 55 students from the Master's Scholarship 600, who were interviewed using a closed-question interview guide as an application tool. The results show that 25 students (45.45%) responded that they "always" accessed the virtual classroom through social networks to interact with class sessions; 31 students (56.36%) responded that they "strongly agree" that to produce monographs is easier when the teacher relies on audiovisual resources such as the virtual classroom; 20 students (36.36%) responded that they consider this method of inverted classroom project as "strongly didactic"; and finally 26 students (45.45%) responded that the use and management of flip classrooms allowed them to improve their attendance

The central South America region includes Brazil, Peru, Paraguay, and Bolivia

The 2022 mean temperature for central South America was 0.23°C above the 1991–2020 average (Fig. 7.13). Much of the region had near- to above-average mean annual temperatures (Fig. 7.11). Seasonally, during December–February, much of the northern half of Brazil and some areas in northwestern Peru and southwestern Bolivia had near- to below-average temperatures. Meanwhile, the rest of region had near- to above-average conditions. During boreal autumn (March–May), most of the region experienced near- to above-average temperatures, with southern Peru and southwestern Bolivia observing below-average temperatures. Above-average temperatures also encompassed much of the region during boreal winter (June–August), with some locations experiencing mean temperature anomalies that were +2°C or higher. Parts of southern Peru continued to experience near- to below-average conditions during their winter. Below-average temperatures were observed in southern Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay during September–November, while the rest of the region experienced near- to above-average temperaturas. Above-average annual precipitation was observed across parts of northern and eastern Brazil, while the rest of central South America had below-average annual precipitation (Fig. 7.12). Abundant rainfall in the central and northern Amazon and drought in the southern Amazon and Parana-La Plata basin (LPB) were associated with La Niña in 2022. Below-average rainfall was dominant during the austral summer in southern Peru, eastern Bolivia, southeastern Brazil, and parts of Paraguay, suggesting an early ending to the South American Monsoon. Above-average rainfall was observed across much of eastern Brazil and southwestern Bolivia during the austral summer. During boreal autumn, below-average rainfall extended across southern Peru, Bolivia, and southern parts of Brazil. Southern Paraguay and the northern region and southern tip of Brazil had above-average autumn rainfall. Much of southern Peru, the western half of Bolivia, and parts of southern Brazil reported little to no rain during the boreal winter. Meanwhile, northern Peru, eastern Bolivia, and northeastern and southeastern Brazil had above-average rainfall during winter. Boreal spring was characterized by below-average conditions across much of the region, with central Paraguay and northeastern Brazil experiencing above-average rainfall

The James Webb Space Telescope Mission

Twenty-six years ago a small committee report, building on earlier studies, expounded a compelling and poetic vision for the future of astronomy, calling for an infrared-optimized space telescope with an aperture of at least 4 m. With the support of their governments in the US, Europe, and Canada, 20,000 people realized that vision as the 6.5 m James Webb Space Telescope. A generation of astronomers will celebrate their accomplishments for the life of the mission, potentially as long as 20 yr, and beyond. This report and the scientific discoveries that follow are extended thank-you notes to the 20,000 team members. The telescope is working perfectly, with much better image quality than expected. In this and accompanying papers, we give a brief history, describe the observatory, outline its objectives and current observing program, and discuss the inventions and people who made it possible. We cite detailed reports on the design and the measured performance on orbit. © 2023. The Author(s). Published by IOP Publishing Ltd on behalf of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP).
