Aplicación de los procesos psicológicos básicos en la elaboración de materiales docentes en formación universitaria

Las nuevas herramientas y recursos TIC han facilitado la elaboración de materiales docentes, pero es necesario que se tenga en cuenta la aportación de los procesos psicológicos básicos como facilitadores en la adquisición del conocimiento. El objetivo de este trabajo es diseñar y elaborar materiales docentes innovadores en los que se apliquen los conocimientos del campo de estudio de los procesos psicológicos básicos, que faciliten y potencien el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje en formación universitaria y evaluar el grado de satisfacción del alumnado con los materiales desarrollados. Ha participado en nuestro estudio una muestra disponible y significativa de estudiantes matriculados en dos asignaturas de formación básica del Grado en Enfermería y del Grado en Nutrición Humana y Dietética de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad de Alicante. Se describen los materiales diseñados y los resultados sobre la satisfacción del alumnado con esta experiencia piloto mediante un cuestionario elaborado ad hoc

Innovación docente y procesos psicológicos básicos como facilitadores del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje en formación universitaria

Los procesos psicológicos básicos tienen gran implicación en el aprendizaje, demostrándose que factores como la novedad, relevancia o repaso de la información presentada, tienen efectos sobre la adquisición del conocimiento. Por ello, en la presente convocatoria del Programa Redes, nuestro grupo ha incluido la elaboración de materiales docentes innovadores a través de la aplicación de los conocimientos sobre los procesos psicológicos básicos como potenciadores del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje; y la utilización de las TICs para facilitar el aprendizaje autónomo del alumnado. Asimismo, se ha evaluado el grado de satisfacción del alumnado con los nuevos materiales docentes. En el estudio ha participado una muestra disponible y significativa de estudiantes matriculados en la asignatura Psicología del Grado en Enfermería y del Grado en Nutrición Humana y Dietética de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad de Alicante.

Nanomaterials: a Map for Their Selection in Food Packaging Applications

[EN] Even though research on nanotechnology has increased rapidly in the last decades, the application of nanotechnology in food and beverage packaging started to show an interest in the scientific community much more recently. Food safety, quality and improvements of properties compared with conventional materials make nanomaterials very attractive in the field of food and beverage packaging applications. Furthermore, in many cases, nanomaterials are used for both food packaging and the food contained, especially when we talk about nanomaterials for active and intelligent packaging. Oxygen scavengers, antimicrobial nanomaterials and nanobiosensors are some examples of current research efforts on nanomaterials for food packaging. This fact has led to a variety of nanoparticles and nanomaterials. The wide range of existing nanomaterials could make its selection for food packaging applications a challenge. Thus, building up a map based on the current state-of-the-art nanoparticles and nanomaterials is required. Furthermore, there is a need to classify all the nanomaterials used specifically in food packaging, independently of their nature, the packaging material and the way they are integrated to this material. In this paper, a classification of the latest advances in this field was made accompanied by the use of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis in order to find which are the most relevant (and/or expected to be potentially exploited in the near future) nanomaterials in the area of food packaging.

Clinical features and short-term outcomes of cancer patients with suspected and unsuspected pulmonary embolism: the EPIPHANY study.

The study aimed to identify predictors of overall 30-day mortality in cancer patients with pulmonary embolism including suspected pulmonary embolism (SPE) and unsuspected pulmonary embolism (UPE) events. Secondary outcomes included 30- and 90-day major bleeding and venous thromboembolism (VTE) recurrence.The study cohort included 1033 consecutive patients with pulmonary embolism from the multicentre observational ambispective EPIPHANY study (March 2006-October 2014). A subgroup of 497 patients prospectively assessed for the study were subclassified into three work-up scenarios (SPE, truly asymptomatic UPE and UPE with symptoms) to assess outcomes.The overall 30-day mortality rate was 14%. The following variables were associated with the overall 30-day mortality on multivariate analysis: VTE history, upper gastrointestinal cancers, metastatic disease, cancer progression, performance status, arterial hypotension 110 beats·min-1, basal oxygen saturatio
