Effectiveness of an undergraduate course on the self-efficacy of Spanish sports sciences university students for the inclusion of individuals with disabilities

This study assessed the self-efficacy (SE) gains of higher education students concerning the inclusion of people with disabilities throughout the delivery of a face-to-face training course with a duration of four months, comprising 28 sessions of two hours each. A sample of 158 sports sciences undergraduates (109 intervention group, 49 control group; 69.4% males, 31.6% female) from two Spanish universities took part in this study. The content of the course was based on three blocks: 1) concepts of adapted physical activity and disability awareness; 2) inclusion in physical education; and 3) para-sports, including teaching about the Paralympics and other para-sports for people with disabilities. Simulation was a main teaching strategy across the content blocks – i.e. limitations of body functions, simulating inclusive physical education settings, or practising different para-sports. Significant improvements were found in participants’ perception of SE when responding in a physical education scenario that requires the inclusion of an individual with an intellectual, physical, or visual disability (p < 0.01, moderate-to-large effect sizes). An undergraduate course that combines information, different types of contact with people with disabilities, and simulation seems effective to improve SE among pre-service physical educators in relation to the inclusion in their sessions of students with disabilities

The influence of a teacher-designed and -implemented disability awareness programme on the attitudes of students toward inclusion

This study aimed to examine: (1) the influence of a disability awareness programme, designed and implemented by attendees of the Incluye-T programme and implemented in real educational settings, on the attitudes of their students toward the inclusion of peers with disabilities; (2) the differential effects of the disability awareness activities between classes in which physical impairment, visual impairment, or multi-impairment programmes were implemented; and (3) the influence of personal demographic variables on participants’ attitudes toward the inclusion of peers with disabilities before and after the implementation of the disability awareness physical education (PE) sessions. A sample of 1105 PE students (13.1 ± 2.2 years) from 56 Spanish public educational centres took part. After the training programme on self-efficacy toward inclusion, physical educators designed and implemented awareness interventions at their schools. Physical educators implemented physical-only (23.2%), visual-only (42.9%), and combined activities for both impairments (33.9%). PE students’ attitudes toward inclusion were measured pre- and post-interventions. Those who participated in combined activities revealed significant differences for the four attitude scores (p < 0.001), while those taking part in visual-only activities demonstrated decreased scores for the overall (p = 0.044) and the control beliefs subscale (p = 0.010). PE teachers were capable of influencing their PE students’ attitudes toward inclusion using awareness activities taking into consideration the ecology of the interventions and the PE students’ base level of attitudes before delivering sessions. The type of impairment/disability that was the focus of the awareness activities was an important factor that influenced the effectiveness of the intervention

Disclosing the Role of Gold on Palladium – Gold Alloyed Supported Catalysts in Formic Acid Decomposition

Herein, we report the synthesis of preformed bimetallic Pd-Au nanoparticles supported on carbon nanofibers with different Pd : Au atomic ratio (nominal molar ratio: 8–2, 6–4, 4–6, 2–8) and the corresponding Pd and Au monometallic catalysts by sol immobilization method. The obtained materials were characterized thoroughly by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The catalytic performances of the Pd-Au catalysts were evaluated in the aqueous phase dehydrogenation of formic acid (FA) at room temperature obtaining enhanced activity, stability and selectivity compared to the monometallic systems. In particular, Pd$_{6}$Au$_{4}$ and Pd$_{8}$Au$_{2}$ showed the best combination of catalytic properties, i. e., high selectivity to H$_{2}$ and improved catalytic stability. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations on Pd15, Au15 and Pd9Au6 clusters supported on a carbon sheet were then simulated to provide atomic level understanding to the beneficial effect of gold observed in the experimental results. Au$_{15}$ barely adsorb FA, while Pd$_{15}$ possesses an adsorption energy higher than Pd$_{9}$Au$_{6}$. Dehydrogenation and dehydration pathways were followed on all these models. For Pd9Au6, the most favourable route was the formation of carbon dioxide and hydrogen. Analysis of the electronic structures was also performed on the different models showing a stronger interaction between the bimetallic system and the support proving the alloy superior stability

Spectroscopic evaluation of red blood cells of thalassemia patients with confocal microscopy: a pilot study

Hemoglobinopathies represent the most common single-gene defects in the world and pose a major public health problem, particularly in tropical countries, where they occur with high frequency. Diagnosing hemoglobinopathies can sometimes be difficult due to the coexistence of different causes of anemia, such as thalassemia and iron deficiency, and blood transfusions, among other factors, and requires expensive and complex molecular tests. This work explores the possibility of using spectral confocal microscopy as a diagnostic tool for thalassemia in pediatric patients, a disease caused by mutations in the globin genes that result in changes of the globin chains that form hemoglobin—in pediatric patients. Red blood cells (RBCs) from patients with different syndromes of alpha-thalassemia and iron deficiency (including anemia) as well as healthy (control) subjects were analyzed under a Leica TCS SP8 confocal microscope following different image acquisition protocols. We found that diseased RBCs exhibited autofluorescence when excited at 405 nm and their emission was collected in the spectral range from 425 nm to 790 nm. Three experimental descriptors calculated from the mean emission intensities at 502 nm, 579 nm, 628 nm, and 649 nm allowed us to discriminate between diseased and healthy cells. According to the results obtained, spectral confocal microscopy could serve as a tool in the diagnosis of thalassemia.This research was funded by Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, grant number DPI2017-89414-R.

Estudio del impacto del cultivo de soja en tierras desmontadas de la Provincia del Chaco, Argentina

En Argentina, el proceso de avance de la frontera agrícola se caracterizó por el monocultivo de soja, que en el Chaco ocupó áreas de bosque nativo. El trabajo evalúa el impacto de la soja (Glycine max (L.) Merr), en variables de suelo en tierras recientemente desmontadas. El trabajo se desarrolló en el Departamento Almirante Brown (Chaco) sobre cuatro Series de suelos y en tres condiciones de uso: bosque, un año y seis años de cultivo de soja. Se determinó densidad aparente, resistencia mecánica a la penetración, carbono orgánico, nitrógeno, fósforo, pH, conductividad eléctrica, infiltración y estabilidad estructural. Se realizó un análisis de varianza y multivariado. Se determinó que los suelos tienen diferente susceptibilidad a la degradación, en base principalmente a las impedancias mecánicas. Es necesario contemplar la Serie de suelo para comparar indicadores entre usos y se deben considerar las características de cada suelo para tomar decisiones de cambio de uso.In Argentina, the advance of agriculture frontier process was characterized by soy monoculture, which in Chaco occupied native forest areas.
