¿La mejor estrategia docente? : la gestión del conocimiento
La evaluación del aprendizaje muestra que el alumno no siempre alcanza con éxito los objetivos de aprendizaje. Este hecho se ha convertido en uno de los principales campos de batalla entre los docentes. ¿Cómo conseguir que el alumno alcance los objetivos de aprendizaje y se convierta en un buen profesional? La finalidad de este artículo es responder a dicha pregunta. Este trabajo muestra los resultados positivos que tiene en el aprendizaje utilizar como herramienta docente la gestión del conocimiento. Para ello se presentan los efectos de una primera aplicación práctica a estudiantes de segundo ciclo de la Universitat Rovira i Virgili.L'avaluació de l'aprenentatge mostra que l'alumne no sempre assoleix amb èxit els objectius d'aprenentatge.

La finalitat d'aquest article és respondre aquesta pregunta. El present treball mostra els resultats positius que té en l'aprenentatge utilitzar com a eina docent la gestió del coneixement.

This fact has become the main battlefield among professors. How to succeed in making students achieve their learning objectives so they can become excellent professionals? The main aim of this article is to answer this question. Our work shows the positive effects of using knowledge management as pedagogical tool. We present the effects of a first practical application in undergraduate students at Rovira i Virgili University
Presentation
Gender-role stereotypes are barriers to women trying to access education,choosing the course they want to study (for example, nursing versus engineering)and participating in lifelong learning. And in the job market, salaries, promotionopportunities and professional development all reflect gender inequalities. Inboth cases – a professional career and access to education and lifelong learning –reality shows that the personal factors derived from caring for dependent personsand greater family responsibilities are the main causes of the inequalities betweenmen and women. This situation creates an unequal society in which the variablegender must be taken into account together with social class, educationalattainment, ethnicity, family responsibilities, and background to get an in-depthpicture of the situation of women
Symmetrical Objecthood in Panoan Languages
This paper addresses the phenomenon of symmetrical objecthood using data from three Panoan languages: Shipibo-Konibo, Cashinawa, and Matsés. Symmetrical objecthood is defined as the possibility for both objects to display the same properties in double object constructions, such as ditransitives and applicatives. My proposal is that the structural Case assigned by a Multiple AGREE operation is responsible for the symmetry between both objects. This is put forth in the following definition: (1) X and Y are equidistant if a head H AGREEs simultaneously with both X and Y. The reasons for this analysis are based on the following: i) The symmetrical properties displayed by the objects imply the movement of the lower object over the higher one. ii) Panoan languages have an ergative-absolutive case marking system, and in double object constructions, the objects display the same case (absolutive). Following Legate 2008, absolutive is a morphological default for accusative in objects and for nominative in intransitive subjects. I assume that object licensing comes from the accusative Case assignment. iii) Multiple AGREE (Hiraiwa 2005) is a single simultaneous syntactic operation: AGREE applies to all the matched goals simultaneously at the same point in the derivation. Thus, in a symmetrical object construction, small v multiply AGREEs with the two objects and simultaneously assigns to them structural accusative Case. This analysis accounts for the following properties: free word order/extraction, reciprocalization, participant agreement (Valenzuela 2002), and others such as passivization and object agreement, which are present marginally in Matsés. For all these properties to take place, equidistance, which follows from (1), is needed to allow either object to display these properties. The paper also discusses the typological consequences of this account, arguing against a phase-based approach
Optimal control of a dengue epidemic model with vaccination
We present a SIR+ASI epidemic model to describe the interaction between human
and dengue fever mosquito populations. A control strategy in the form of
vaccination, to decrease the number of infected individuals, is used. An
optimal control approach is applied in order to find the best way to fight the
disease.Comment: This is a preprint of a paper accepted for presentation at ICNAAM
2011, Halkidiki, Greece, 19-25 September 2011, and to appear in AIP
Conference Proceedings, volume 138
Modeling and Optimal Control Applied to a Vector Borne Disease
A model with six mutually-exclusive compartments related to Dengue disease is
presented. In this model there are three vector control tools: insecticides
(larvicide and adulticide) and mechanical control. The problem is studied using
an Optimal Control (OC) approach. The human data for the model is based on the
Cape Verde Dengue outbreak. Some control measures are simulated and their
consequences analyzed
Perfiles de formación bibliotecológica en algunas universidades de América del Sur
An overview of librarianship training profiles in some South American universities is presented, as a result of the project “Factors of quality and competitiveness in higher education: library education in Latin America”, which is led by the National Autonomous University of Mexico, with the support from the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosi, the University of Costa Rica and the University of Antioquia
Formación del profesional en bibliotecología y archivística
Based on various studies, we elaborate a reflection on the challenges faced by future information professionals to function competently and efficiently in order to respond to new outlook for library science and archival development, sharply manifested in society information and knowledge and impacting on the work of various institutions at local, national and international levels
Procesos de aseguramiento de la calidad en la formación bibliotecológica de América del Sur
The research 'Factors of quality and competitiveness in higher education: the librarianship education in Latin America', presents some considerations on the processes of quality assurance in higher education, as well as an approximation to its application in South America countries, and an approach to the implementation of these library training processes in this region
Insecticide control in a Dengue epidemics model
A model for the transmission of dengue disease is presented. It consists of
eight mutually-exclusive compartments representing the human and vector
dynamics. It also includes a control parameter (insecticide) in order to fight
the mosquitoes. The main goal of this work is to investigate the best way to
apply the control in order to effectively reduce the number of infected humans
and mosquitoes. A case study, using data of the outbreak that occurred in 2009
in Cape Verde, is presented.Comment: Accepted 28/07/2010 in the special session "Numerical Optimization"
of the 8th International Conference of Numerical Analysis and Applied
Mathematics (ICNAAM 2010), Rhodes, Greece, 19-25 September 201
