En la actualidad las instituciones educativas tienen el reto de alcanzar una formación integral del estudiante. Una constante actualización del docente con respecto a sus conocimientos pedagógicos y el uso de recursos de las TIC en los procesos formativos, son elementos que contribuyen al logro de esa meta, es por eso que se requieren propuestas de formación docente pertinentes y actualizadas. Este artículo tiene como objetivo presentar los resultados de una investigación realizada, a partir del estudio de caso de dos cursos de formación docente para el uso de recursos educativos abiertos y su relación con la apropiación tecnológica, a través de la innovación educativa basada en evidencia

Incidencia en el sistema penitenciario, línea B

El presente documento analiza el impacto individual y social resultante de la aplicación profesional del seminario Inside-Out, un proyecto de aprendizaje transformativo con un grupo de hombres privados de su libertad en el Reclusorio Metropolitano, un centro de alta seguridad perteneciente al complejo penitenciario de Puente Grande, en el estado de Jalisco. Con base en la contextualización del sistema penitenciario mexicano hoy en día y la importancia de la educación para la reintegración social de las personas privadas de su libertad (PPL), este texto establece los objetivos, antecedentes, y justificación con respecto a la importancia de Inside-Out como complemento innovador al modelo de reinserción social actual. El proyecto se basa en el diálogo reflexivo, escritura y lectura crítica con las PPL, quienes comparten sus vivencias en relación a la violencia, el crimen organizado y el encierro. Además, el proyecto contempla una investigación de acción participativa (IAP), bajo la cual se caracteriza el planteamiento de seminario permanente con las PPL participantes del reclusorio en interacción con estudiantes del ITESO. Se enfoca en la elaboración de una revista penitenciaria llamada Rompemuros, donde se recopilan las narrativas personales del grupo, con base en el tema seleccionado para tratar durante el semestre. Los textos elaborados dentro del seminario junto con lecturas académicas, son el medio a través del cual se propicia el debate crítico sobre la violencia, el crimen organizado, la exclusión social, el sistema penitenciario y el aprendizaje transformativo, entre otros; con la intención de generar una re-significación y cambio de perspectiva en relación con los estigmas que las personas privadas de su libertad experimentan durante su encierro, al igual que en su proceso de reintegración social. Así mismo, se describen los resultados de los objetivos alcanzados durante el trabajo de campo en el reclusorio, y la posterior adaptación del trabajo académico a raíz de la pandemia de COVID-19. Se concluye con el reforzamiento de la importancia de uso de programas alternativos de educación en el sistema penitenciario, en paralelo con los aprendizajes profesionales que los alumnos participantes del ITESO implementan con base a la experiencia dentro del contexto penitenciario.ITESO, A.C

Review: Strategies for enteric methane mitigation in cattle fed tropical forages

Methane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas (GHG) produced and released by eructation to the atmosphere in large volumes by ruminants. Enteric CH4 contributes significantly to global GHG emissions arising from animal agriculture. It has been contended that tropical grasses produce higher emissions of enteric CH4 than temperate grasses, when they are fed to ruminants. A number of experiments have been performed in respiration chambers and head-boxes to assess the enteric CH4 mitigation potential of foliage and pods of tropical plants, as well as nitrates (NO3−) and vegetable oils in practical rations for cattle. On the basis of individual determinations of enteric CH4 carried out in respiration chambers, the average CH4 yield for cattle fed low-quality tropical grasses (>70% ration DM) was 17.0 g CH4/kg DM intake. Results showed that when foliage and ground pods of tropical trees and shrubs were incorporated in cattle rations, methane yield (g CH4/kg DM intake) was decreased by 10% to 25%, depending on plant species and level of intake of the ration. Incorporation of nitrates and vegetable oils in the ration decreased enteric CH4 yield by ∼6% to ∼20%, respectively. Condensed tannins, saponins and starch contained in foliages, pods and seeds of tropical trees and shrubs, as well as nitrates and vegetable oils, can be fed to cattle to mitigate enteric CH4 emissions under smallholder conditions. Strategies for enteric CH4 mitigation in cattle grazing low-quality tropical forages can effectively increase productivity while decreasing enteric CH4 emissions in absolute terms and per unit of product (e.g. meat, milk), thus reducing the contribution of ruminants to GHG emissions and therefore to climate change

Combined searches for the production of supersymmetric top quark partners in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV

A combination of searches for top squark pair production using proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV at the CERN LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb(-1) collected by the CMS experiment, is presented. Signatures with at least 2 jets and large missing transverse momentum are categorized into events with 0, 1, or 2 leptons. New results for regions of parameter space where the kinematical properties of top squark pair production and top quark pair production are very similar are presented. Depending on themodel, the combined result excludes a top squarkmass up to 1325 GeV for amassless neutralino, and a neutralinomass up to 700 GeV for a top squarkmass of 1150 GeV. Top squarks with masses from 145 to 295 GeV, for neutralino masses from 0 to 100 GeV, with a mass difference between the top squark and the neutralino in a window of 30 GeV around the mass of the top quark, are excluded for the first time with CMS data. The results of theses searches are also interpreted in an alternative signal model of dark matter production via a spin-0 mediator in association with a top quark pair. Upper limits are set on the cross section for mediator particle masses of up to 420 GeV

MUSiC : a model-unspecific search for new physics in proton-proton collisions at root s=13TeV

Results of the Model Unspecific Search in CMS (MUSiC), using proton-proton collision data recorded at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb(-1), are presented. The MUSiC analysis searches for anomalies that could be signatures of physics beyond the standard model. The analysis is based on the comparison of observed data with the standard model prediction, as determined from simulation, in several hundred final states and multiple kinematic distributions. Events containing at least one electron or muon are classified based on their final state topology, and an automated search algorithm surveys the observed data for deviations from the prediction. The sensitivity of the search is validated using multiple methods. No significant deviations from the predictions have been observed. For a wide range of final state topologies, agreement is found between the data and the standard model simulation. This analysis complements dedicated search analyses by significantly expanding the range of final states covered using a model independent approach with the largest data set to date to probe phase space regions beyond the reach of previous general searches.Peer reviewe

Development and validation of HERWIG 7 tunes from CMS underlying-event measurements

This paper presents new sets of parameters (“tunes”) for the underlying-event model of the HERWIG7 event generator. These parameters control the description of multiple-parton interactions (MPI) and colour reconnection in HERWIG7, and are obtained from a fit to minimum-bias data collected by the CMS experiment at s=0.9, 7, and 13Te. The tunes are based on the NNPDF 3.1 next-to-next-to-leading-order parton distribution function (PDF) set for the parton shower, and either a leading-order or next-to-next-to-leading-order PDF set for the simulation of MPI and the beam remnants. Predictions utilizing the tunes are produced for event shape observables in electron-positron collisions, and for minimum-bias, inclusive jet, top quark pair, and Z and W boson events in proton-proton collisions, and are compared with data. Each of the new tunes describes the data at a reasonable level, and the tunes using a leading-order PDF for the simulation of MPI provide the best description of the dat

The production cross sections for prompt open-charm mesons in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13TeV are reported. The measurement is performed using a data sample collected by the CMS experiment corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 29 nb(-1). The differential production cross sections of the D*(+/-), D-+/-, and D-0 ((D) over bar (0)) mesons are presented in ranges of transverse momentum and pseudorapidity 4 < p(T) < 100 GeV and vertical bar eta vertical bar < 2.1, respectively. The results are compared to several theoretical calculations and to previous measurements.Peer reviewe

Measurements of the Electroweak Diboson Production Cross Sections in Proton-Proton Collisions at root s=5.02 TeV Using Leptonic Decays

The first measurements of diboson production cross sections in proton-proton interactions at a center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV are reported. They are based on data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 302 pb(-1). Events with two, three, or four charged light leptons (electrons or muons) in the final state are analyzed. The WW, WZ, and ZZ total cross sections are measured as sigma(WW) = 37:0(-5.2)(+5.5) (stat)(-2.6)(+2.7) (syst) pb, sigma(WZ) = 6.4(-2.1)(+2.5) (stat)(-0.3)(+0.5)(syst) pb, and sigma(ZZ) = 5.3(-2.1)(+2.5)(stat)(-0.4)(+0.5) (syst) pb. All measurements are in good agreement with theoretical calculations at combined next-to-next-to-leading order quantum chromodynamics and next-to-leading order electroweak accuracy
