Creating and Disseminating Open Educational Resources (OER): Research Trends and the Basics for Newcomers

Distance-based courses offered through e-learning platforms are gaining in popularity and supporters, particularly those resources offered through the Internet due to their ability to transcend the limitations of time and space. In this context, it is essential that teachers and educational researchers become familiar with the main e-learning initiatives and the most outstanding content development software, particularly open source tools that facilitate free access to knowledge. The aim of this paper is to present a conceptual outline describing the most common topics addressed by e-learning researchers. Furthermore, we present some key points to consider in choosing the most appropriate design tools for digital learning objects, managing e-learning courses and preserving the copyright and integrity of developed contents. Finally, we offer a directory of some of the major open source initiatives that facilitate the access, use and exchange of Open Educational Resources (consortia, digital libraries and repositories).González Alcaide, G.; Hernández San Miguel, FJ.

Safety-related challenges and opportunities for GPUs in the automotive domain

GPUs have been shown to cover the computing performance needs of autonomous driving (AD) systems. However, since the GPUs used for AD build on designs for the mainstream market, they may lack fundamental properties for correct operation under automotive's safety regulations. In this paper, we analyze some of the main challenges in hardware and software design to embrace GPUs as the reference computing solution for AD, with the emphasis in ISO 26262 functional safety requirements.Authors would like to thank Guillem Bernat from Rapita Systems for his technical feedback on this work.

SafeSU-2: a safe statistics unit for space MPSoCs

Advanced statistics units (SUs) have been proven effective for the verification, validation and implementation of safety measures as part of safety-related MPSoCs. This is the case, for instance, of the RISC-V MPSoC by CAES Gaisler based on NOEL-V cores that will become commercially ready on FPGAs by the end of 2022. However, while those SUs support safety in the rest of the SoC, they must be built to be safe to be part of commercial products. This paper presents the SafeSU-2, the safety-compliant version of the SafeSU. In particular, we perform a Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) for the SafeSU for relevant fault models, and implement fault detection and tolerance features needed to make it compliant with the requirements of safety-related devices in general, and of space MPSoCs in particular.This work has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement no. 871467.

Tutorial multimèdia per al desenvolupament de treballs de fi de grau en Informació i Documentació

La pàgina web i els materials creats formen part del projecte d'Innovació Educativa: Tutorial multimèdia per al desenvolupament de treballs de fi de grau en Informació i Documentació.The preparation and defense of the Degree Final Project is one of the major developments derived from the process of building the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). This work reflects all learning acquired by students in previous years of the corresponding degree, where students face the process of autonomous knowledge generation and the difficulties of practical or applied work. This document reports on the development of an interactive multimedia tutorial, adapted to the educational objectives and competencies of a specific target audience. We developed this guide at the University of Valencia (Spain) by means of the following steps: a) identification of the contents to be included in the tutorial and design of learning materials, b) technical development and implementation of web materials (www.uv.es/innopfg) and c) evaluation of both materials developed and learning processes. We have prepared the following learning materials: didactic units that describe the characteristics, structure and content that must be included in each of the sections that make up the final project work; list of relevant resources of use in making an approach "state of art" and to facilitate academic writing (such as databases or reference management software); tests for students to verify the adequacy of the texts, which have been prepared according to the rules and characteristics of the final project work; and, finally, a video as an example where an oral presentation and defense of the project is shown. Exelearning software was used for the development of materials.La preparació i defensa d’un Treball de Fi de Grau constitueix una de les principals novetats derivades del procés de construcció de l’Espai Europeu d’Educació Superior (EEES). En aquest treball queden reflectides totes les habilitats adquirides pels estudiants en els anys previs a la finalització del Grau, atès que els estudiants han d’enfrontar-se en el mateix al procés de generació autònoma de coneixement i a les dificultats que comporta un treball de tipus pràctic. El present document recull l’experiència del desenvolupament d’un tutorial multimèdia per a guiar el procés de realització del treball de fi de Grau, adaptat als objectius d’aprenentatge i a l’adquisició de competències dels alumnes destinataris. El treball s’ha desenvolupat en les següents fases: a) determinació dels continguts que havien de ser inclosos en el tutorial i disseny dels objectes d’aprenentatge; b) desenvolupament tècnic i implementació dels materials mitjançant un tutorial accessible a través de l’adreça web (www.uv.es/innopfg); i c) avaluació dels materials desenvolupats i dels processos d’aprenentatge. S’han desenvolupat els següents objectes d’aprenentatge: unitats didàctiques que descriuen les característiques, estructura i continguts que s’han d’incloure en cadascuna de les seccions que conformen el treball de fi de Grau; llistat de recursos que poden resultar d’interès per a realitzar una aproximació a “l’estat del art” i que poden resultar d’utilitat per a la creació del text escrit (com ara bases de dades i programes gestors de bibliografia); tests per a que els alumnes puguen verificar l’adequació dels textos que han preparat en relació amb la normativa i les característiques dels treballs de fi de Grau; i finalment, un video que recrea l’exposició oral i la defensa d’un treball de fi de Grau. El programa ExeLearning fou emprat per al desenvolupament dels materials i del propi tutorial

Documentació i Metodologia Científica. Grau Farmácia

El document forma part dels materials docents programats mitjançant l'ajut del Servei de Política Lingüística de la Universitat de València.El que habitualment es denomina “mètode científic” és un conjunt de pràctiques teòriques i experimentals molt diverses. Les seues característiques varien al llarg del temps i l'espai, així com a través de les disciplines i les diverses especialitats de la ciència. Fins i tot dins d'una mateixa disciplina científica, existeixen punts de vista diversos al voltant dels procediments més adients per produir nous coneixements suficientment contrastats. Per això, s'empra l'expressió “metodologia científica” per fer referència a l'heterogeni conjunt d'estratègies, procediments, raonaments, pràctiques experimentals, mètodes observacionals, etc., que segueixen les persones que treballen en ciència durant les seues investigacions, les quals es desenvolupen en una gran diversitat de llocs (observatoris astronòmics, laboratoris, jaciments geològics, hospitals, indústries, etc.), sovint amb l'ajuda d'instruments científics de característiques molt dispars. I tot això en el marc de determinades societats i cultures que condicionen de manera molt variable el desenvolupament de l'activitat científica al llarg del temps. En paral•lel al gran desenvolupament i a les dimensions que ha cobrat la ciència moderna al llarg del segle XX, s'ha desenvolupat tot un ventall d’instruments per registrar la producció científica i facilitar un accés ràpid i precís a la informació. Així mateix, la gran expansió que ha experimentat Internet com a forma de comunicació i difusió de la informació, ha posat a la disposició dels investigadors i usuaris una gran quantitat de recursos i fonts d'informació, prescindint dels límits espacials i d'intermediaris, per la qual cosa resulta fonamental des de l'àmbit formatiu introduir a l'alumnat en el coneixement i maneig d'aquests instruments i recursos, amb la finalitat de que siguin capaços de desenvolupar les destreses necessàries per localitzar, avaluar i gestionar la informació que necessiten o que pot resultar d'interès per a l'exercici de les seves activitats professionals i d'investigació. L'objectiu de l'assignatura consisteix a proporcionar esquemes i conceptes bàsics per abordar aquestes qüestions, també mitjançant l'anàlisi de diferents casos particulars (seminaris). En primer lloc es discuteixen diversos temes particulars dels mètodes de la biomedicina, especialment aquells més relacionats amb la farmàcia, com l'experimentació animal o els assajos clínics. Es dedica un apartat especial a la terminologia biomèdica i un altre als diversos tipus de sistemes d'unitats i instruments científics.What is usually called "scientific method" is a set of theoretical and experimental practices varied . Their characteristics vary over time and space , as well as through the various disciplines and specialties of science. Even within a single scientific discipline , there are diverse views about the most appropriate procedures to produce new knowledge sufficiently . Therefore the expression " scientific method " is used to refer to the diverse set of strategies , procedures, reasoning , experimental , observational methods , etc., followed by the people working in science for his research , which are developed in a variety of positions (observatories, laboratories, geological sites, hospitals, industries, etc.) , often with the aid of scientific instruments of very different characteristics . And all this in the context of particular societies and cultures very variable influencing the development of scientific activity over time In parallel to the development and large dimensions that modern science has gained throughout the twentieth century, a range of scientific instruments have been developed to record and provide rapid access to accurate information. Also, the great expansion that has seen the Internet as a form of communication and dissemination of information is made available to researchers and users a lot of sources of information, irrespective of spatial boundaries and intermediaries so it is essential from the area of education to introduce students to the knowledge and use of these tools and resources in order to be able to develop the necessary skills to locate, evaluate and manage information need or that may be of interest to the exercise of their professional activities and research . The aim of the course is to provide basic concepts and schemes to address these issues , including through the analysis of different particular cases (seminars). First, we discuss various issues of particular methods of biomedicine , especially those related to pharmacy, as animal testing or clinical trials

Effectiveness of an intervention for improving drug prescription in primary care patients with multimorbidity and polypharmacy:Study protocol of a cluster randomized clinical trial (Multi-PAP project)

This study was funded by the Fondo de Investigaciones Sanitarias ISCIII (Grant Numbers PI15/00276, PI15/00572, PI15/00996), REDISSEC (Project Numbers RD12/0001/0012, RD16/0001/0005), and the European Regional Development Fund ("A way to build Europe").Background: Multimorbidity is associated with negative effects both on people's health and on healthcare systems. A key problem linked to multimorbidity is polypharmacy, which in turn is associated with increased risk of partly preventable adverse effects, including mortality. The Ariadne principles describe a model of care based on a thorough assessment of diseases, treatments (and potential interactions), clinical status, context and preferences of patients with multimorbidity, with the aim of prioritizing and sharing realistic treatment goals that guide an individualized management. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a complex intervention that implements the Ariadne principles in a population of young-old patients with multimorbidity and polypharmacy. The intervention seeks to improve the appropriateness of prescribing in primary care (PC), as measured by the medication appropriateness index (MAI) score at 6 and 12months, as compared with usual care. Methods/Design: Design:pragmatic cluster randomized clinical trial. Unit of randomization: family physician (FP). Unit of analysis: patient. Scope: PC health centres in three autonomous communities: Aragon, Madrid, and Andalusia (Spain). Population: patients aged 65-74years with multimorbidity (≥3 chronic diseases) and polypharmacy (≥5 drugs prescribed in ≥3months). Sample size: n=400 (200 per study arm). Intervention: complex intervention based on the implementation of the Ariadne principles with two components: (1) FP training and (2) FP-patient interview. Outcomes: MAI score, health services use, quality of life (Euroqol 5D-5L), pharmacotherapy and adherence to treatment (Morisky-Green, Haynes-Sackett), and clinical and socio-demographic variables. Statistical analysis: primary outcome is the difference in MAI score between T0 and T1 and corresponding 95% confidence interval. Adjustment for confounding factors will be performed by multilevel analysis. All analyses will be carried out in accordance with the intention-to-treat principle. Discussion: It is essential to provide evidence concerning interventions on PC patients with polypharmacy and multimorbidity, conducted in the context of routine clinical practice, and involving young-old patients with significant potential for preventing negative health outcomes.
