Perception and use of ICT in inclusive classrooms: A case study

Este artículo reporta resultados de una investigación llevada a cabo en una escuela de educación infantil y primaria, cuyo objetivo era conocer el uso, que hacen docentes de las aulas inclusivas, de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación. En relación a la metodología empleada mantiene un carácter mixto. Para el enfoque cuantitativo se diseñó un instrumento ad hoc compuesto por 15 ítems que nos permitiría recabar información sobre el perfil docente, la formación y la práctica educativa del profesorado. En lo que respecta al enfoque cualitativo, se hicieron ocho entrevistas en profundidad a diferentes profesionales, con el fin de recoger información relacionada con las TIC y la inclusión. Los resultados nos llevan a poner de manifiesto la necesidad de formar y sensibilizar al profesorado en el uso de las TIC y en la atención a la diversidad.This article reports the results of an investigation carried out in a school of infant and primary education, whose objective was to know the use that teachers make of the inclusive classrooms of the information and communication technologies. In relation to the methodology used, it maintains a mixed character. For the quantitative approach, an ad hoc instrument consisting of 15 items was designed, which gathered information on the teaching profile, on training and teacher’ educational practice. With regard to the qualitative approach, eight in-depth interviews were conducted with different professionals, in order to collect information related to ICT and inclusion. The results lead us to highlight the need to train and sensitize teachers in the use of ICT and in attention to diversity

Excavaciones en el conjunto megalítico de la Peña Oviedo (Camaleño, Cantabria)

La excavación del conjunto megalítico de la Peña Oviedo, pretende ser el inicio de un estudio más amplio que aborde de manera global el fenómeno megalítico en las cue.ncas altas de los ríos Deva y Nansa. El total desconocimiento que se tenía hasta esta década, no ya del fenómeno megalítico, sino incluso de su existencia en estos valles montañosos del Occidente de Cantabria hace necesario un estudio que ponga de manifiesto sus características y las relaciones con las áreas vecinas.The excavation of the megalithic complex of the Peña Oviedo, pretends to be the beginning of a larger study that approaches the megalithic phenomenon in the global River basins of the Deva and Nansa rivers. The total lack of knowledge of the megalithic phenomenon, but not even of its existence in these mountain valleys of western Cantabria, requires a study that reveals its characteristics and relations with neighboring areas

Allocating Family Responsibilities for Dependent Older People in Mexico and Peru

This paper applies different analytical frameworks to explore processes of family bargaining about providing care for dependent older people in Mexico and Peru. These frameworks include cultural norms, life course effects and material exchange. The paper is based on 19 in-depth qualitative family case studies, which are linked to a wider set of quantitative survey data. Care arrangements and bargaining processes are revealed to be highly gendered, and largely conform to prevailing cultural norms. Rather than neutral and objective, the self-identified role as main carer is found to be subjective and potentially ambiguous. The few men who self-identify as main carers are more likely to play an indirect, organisational role than engage directly in daily care. As such, bargaining mainly relates to which woman performs the main care role, and large family networks mean that there is usually more than one candidate carer. Bargaining can occur inter-generationally and conjugally, but bargaining between siblings is of particular importance. Bargaining is framed by the uncertain trajectory of older people’s care needs, and arrangements are sometimes reconfigured in response to changing care needs or family circumstances. Taking the narratives at face value, the influence of life course effects on bargaining and care arrangements is more obvious than material exchange. There are, however, indications that economic considerations, particularly inheritance, still play an important behind the scenes role

Indicator for patient safety: Readmission within 30 days for nosocomial infection.

Objetivos: Describir la frecuencia de reingresos en 30 días por infección nosocomial en el “Hospital Torrecárdenas” de Almería. Materiales y métodos: 25.653 episodios. El reingreso por infección nosocomial (IN): proporción de pacientes al alta de cada uno de los episodios hospitalarios durante el periodo de estudio que son reingresados de modo urgente en 30 días con IN, ya conste como diagnóstico principal del nuevo ingreso. Resultados: Proporción de reingresos por IN es 2,6‰ (IC95% 2,0 – 3,3), que supone un total de 67 episodios de reingreso por IN (5,0% del total). Unidad con mas reingresos por IN: UGC de urología 9,7‰ (IC95% 1,9 – 17,4)). Mayor probabilidad de reingreso se asocia al sexo masculino, a una mayor edad, a determinados diagnósticos y servicio al alta. Las unidades de hospitalización con más reingresos: salud mental, obstetricia, oncología radioterápica, oncología y reumatología, sin embargo, las unidades con mas reingresos por IN: urología, angiología y C.Vascular, oncología, neumología y cardiología. Las enfermedades que destacan como reingreso por IN: “otras alteraciones de uretra y vías urinaria” “infección postoperatoria, no clasificada en otro lugar”. Discusión y conclusiones: Se ha caracterizado el patrón de reingresos por IN en el hospital de Torrecárdenas, utilizándose para ser utilizado para implementar acciones preventivas y como un indicador de calidad asistencial.Objectives: To describe the frequency of readmission within 30 days for nosocomial infection at the “Hospital Torrecardenas” of Almeria. Material and methods: The source is from 1/1/2007 to 31/1/2008 CMBDh, analyzed 25,653 episodes. Readmissions for nosocomial infection (NI): proportion of patients at discharge for each hospital episode during the study period that are so urgently readmitted in 30 days with IN, and is credited as the primary diagnosis of new entry or as a diagnosis secondary. Descriptive analysis of variables such as age, sex, high service, month high, episode duration and primary diagnosis, using association between variables.Results: The proportion of readmissions by IN is 2.6 ‰ (IC95% 2,0–3,3), representing a total of 67 episodes of readmission for IN (5.0% of readmissions). The unit with more readmissions for IN was the hospital's urology unit (9.7 ‰ (IC95% 1,9–17,4)). A higher probability of readmission was associated with male gender, older age, certain diagnostic and service to hospital discharge. Inpatient units with more readmissions: mental health, obstetrics, radiation oncology, oncology and rheumatology, however, drives with more readmissions IN: urology, Angiology and Vascular C., oncology, pulmonology and cardiology. The diseases that stand out as readmission for IN are “other disorders of urethra and urinary tract” “postoperative infection, not elsewhere classified”. Conclusions: We have characterized the pattern of readmissions due to infections in the hospital Torrecárdenas, used to be used to implement preventive measures as an indicator of quality

Resistencia extrema al cobre por un consorcio bacteriano conformado por Sulfobacillus spp. y Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans

RESUMENLa sensibilidad al cobre por parte de microorganismos biolixiviadores es uno de los principales problemas que enfrenta la minería para mejorar los procesos de biolixiviación. En tal sentido, nosotros evaluamos la resistencia al cobre de un consorcio microbiano conformado por Sulfobacillus spp., y Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, el cual se propagó, en bioreactores de tanque aireado y agitado de 1 L, los cuales contenían medio 9K suplementado con hierro y concentraciones crecientes de cobre (200 mM, 400 mM, 600 mM, 800 mM y 1,000 mM) a 30°C con un pH de 1.6 durante 96 horas. Se colectó una muestra de cada biorreactor cada 8 horas, para realizar análisis, microscópicos y moleculares, además el cultivo del consorcio en placa mostró una resistencia al cobre hasta 1,000 mM. Se observó que el consorcio microbiano puede crecer en presencia de cobre tanto en medio líquidos (biorreactores-9K+Cu: 200 mM-800mM) como en medios sólidos (agarosa-9K + Cu: 1,000mM). Nuestros resultados proponen que el consorcio conformado por Sulfobacillus spp., y Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, presenta resistencia extrema al cobre y podría ser aplicado bajo condiciones de mayor escalamiento en procesos de biolixiviación de minerales sulfuros donde el cobre se encuentra en concentraciones de hasta 1,000 mM. Palabras clave: Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans; consorcio microbiano; microorganismos biolixiviadores; Sulfobacillus spp, resistencia al cobreABSTRACTThe sensitivity to copper by bioleaching microorganism is one of the main problems faced by mining to improve bioleaching processes. In this sense, we evaluated the resistance to copper of a microbial consortium formed by Sulfobacillus spp., and Acidithiobacillus ferroxidans which was propagated, in aerated and agitated tank bioreactors of 1 L, which contained 9 K medium supplemented with iron and concentrations copper (200 mM, 400 mM, 600 mM, 800 mM and 1,000 mM) at 30 °C with a pH of 1.6 for 96 hours. A samples of each bioreactor was colleted every 8 hours, to perform cytometric microscope and molecular analysis, and plate count test showed a resistance to copper at 1,000 mM. It was observed that the microbial consortium can grow in the presence of copper both in liquid medium (bioreactors -9K + Cu: 200 mM – 800 mM) and in solid media (agarose – 9K + Cu: 1,000 mM). Our results propose that the consortium formed Sulfobacillus spp., and Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans presents wxtreme resistance to copper and could be applied under higher scaling conditions in bioleaching processes of sulfide minerals where copper is found in concentrations up to 1 000 mM. Keywords: Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidas; bioleaching microorganisms; microbial consortium; Sulfobacillus spp; resistance to copper

Search for chargino-neutralino production with mass splittings near the electroweak scale in three-lepton final states in √s=13 TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS detector

A search for supersymmetry through the pair production of electroweakinos with mass splittings near the electroweak scale and decaying via on-shell W and Z bosons is presented for a three-lepton final state. The analyzed proton-proton collision data taken at a center-of-mass energy of √s=13  TeV were collected between 2015 and 2018 by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139  fb−1. A search, emulating the recursive jigsaw reconstruction technique with easily reproducible laboratory-frame variables, is performed. The two excesses observed in the 2015–2016 data recursive jigsaw analysis in the low-mass three-lepton phase space are reproduced. Results with the full data set are in agreement with the Standard Model expectations. They are interpreted to set exclusion limits at the 95% confidence level on simplified models of chargino-neutralino pair production for masses up to 345 GeV

Search for new phenomena in final states with an energetic jet and large missing transverse momentum in pp collisions at √ s = 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector

Results of a search for new phenomena in final states with an energetic jet and large missing transverse momentum are reported. The search uses 20.3 fb−1 of √ s = 8 TeV data collected in 2012 with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Events are required to have at least one jet with pT > 120 GeV and no leptons. Nine signal regions are considered with increasing missing transverse momentum requirements between Emiss T > 150 GeV and Emiss T > 700 GeV. Good agreement is observed between the number of events in data and Standard Model expectations. The results are translated into exclusion limits on models with either large extra spatial dimensions, pair production of weakly interacting dark matter candidates, or production of very light gravitinos in a gauge-mediated supersymmetric model. In addition, limits on the production of an invisibly decaying Higgs-like boson leading to similar topologies in the final state are presente
