Creactiva: Application for the promotion of Creative Writing

Trabajo de Fin de Grado en Ingeniería Informática y Grado en Ingeniería del Software, Facultad de Informática UCM, Departamento de Sistemas Informáticos y Computación, Curso 2020/2021.El objetivo de este Trabajo de Fin de Grado es crear una aplicación web que permita la realización de desafíos y escritos literarios, promoviendo de esta manera la escritura creativa. Para su uso, se ha añadido un sistema de cuentas de usuario basado en roles, así como herramientas para permitir a los usuarios organizarse y participar en la creación mediante un editor de texto y un sistema de almacenamiento multimedia. Este proyecto contempla la posibilidad de coordinar la actividad creativa con la comunidad educativa, dando la posibilidad a profesores a establecer unas pautas que impulsen a los estudiantes interesados a realizar nuevas creaciones como respuesta a retos literarios de diversas temáticas. Se tiene en cuenta la existencia de diferentes intereses creativos y se ha diseñado un sistema que agrupe a los usuarios con intereses afines. A la hora de usar la aplicación se debe usar una cuenta de usuario a la que se le haya concedido acceso por un responsable de la aplicación.The main goal of this Degree Thesis is to create a web application that eases the creation of literary challenges and writings, supporting creative writing. In order to aid in its usage, a role-based account system has been added, as well as tools that enables student organization and content creation through a text editor and a media storage system. This project takes into account the possibility of joining creative and educative activities, allowing teachers to create a set of rules in order to push interested students into developing new literary creations of diverse themes. A system that groups users with similar tastes has been designed in order to acknowledge the existence of different creative interests.Depto. de Sistemas Informáticos y ComputaciónFac. de InformáticaTRUEunpu

Coordinated Health in Texas Elementary Schools’ Campus Improvement Plans: Analysis of Regional Differences and Trends between 2016 and 2020

Schools signal health priorities through policies. Using a repeated cross-sectional study design, we compare the presence and strength of policies related to four topics—physical activity, nutrition, mental health, and bullying—described in elementary school Campus Improvement Plans (CIPs; also called school improvement plans) within Texas, across four Texas Public Health Regions (PHRs), and between 2016 and 2020. CIPs were collected using a multi-stage probability-based survey approach, scored using an adapted WellSAT tool, and analyzed to determine associations between PHR or year and health topic. Across 170 CIPs, bullying was the most frequently addressed topic, followed by mental health, physical activity, and nutrition. On average, schools addressed 2.7 ± 1.3 topics within their CIP; 38.2% of schools addressed all four, 26.5% addressed three, 12.4% addressed two, 15.3% addressed one, and 7.6% addressed none. CIPs in the same district had high levels of clustering (ICCs = 0.28–0.55). The mostly rural Panhandle PHR included the fewest topics in their CIPs and used the weakest policy language. Between 2016 and 2020, there was a decrease in the proportion of CIPs that addressed nutrition; the strength of language for mental health and bullying also decreased. Regional and time trends reveal opportunities for more robust school health policy interventions
