Educación literaria y Planes de lectura, o la necesidad de conciliar opuestos

Una breve incursión en las disposiciones legales nos permitirá situarnos en torno a cuestiones básicas sobre la consideración que, desde instancias oficiales, se dispensa a la lectura, con el propósito de esbozar mínimamente el modelo lector que la denominada “sociedad del conocimiento” precisa si deseamos superar el bache por el que atraviesan nuestros escolares en cuanto a comprensión lectora, asunto que cada tres años ocasiona bastante revuelo cuando se hacen públicos los datos del informe PISA

Mujer y educación literaria: una aproximación a los clubes de lectura

Retomamos las palabras de Gadamer con el objeto de pensar en la lectura como algo que tiene que ver con aquello que nos hacer ser lo que somos en un mundo caracterizado por la abundancia de estímulos, pero escaso de experiencias605. Y en este sentido, nos parece fundamental la consideración de la experiencia no como un experimento que puede planificarse al modo técnico con el objeto de descifrar un código, sino como el “conocimiento de la vida adquirido por las circunstancias o situaciones vividas”606 que precisa de la apertura hacia lo desconocido, de manera que seamos capaces de construir un sentido que nos facilite nuestra relación con nosotros y con el mund

Cuentos del lejano Oriente: imágenes con palabras

Una aproximación al panorama actual de la educación literaria pone de manifiesto la necesidad de repensar el modelo lector que nos envuelve. A partir de un cuento de Montserrat del Amo ambientado en China, planteamos la posibilidad de trabajar poesía y narración conjuntamente con el objeto de potenciar la educación estética y literaria de los escolares

Special issue: G protein-coupled adenosine receptors: molecular aspects and beyond

Adenosine is a purine nucleoside present in all human cells where it plays many different physiological roles: From being a building block for nucleic acids to a key constituent of the biological energy currency ATP. Indeed, more than 90 years ago, Drury and Szent-Györgyi reported that adenosine produces profound hypotension and bradycardia, and until the present time, the list of physiological effects of adenosine has expanded considerably. In addition, adenosine is a well-known neuromodulator in the brain and has effects on other tissues, thus exerting its physiological actions through four different subtypes of G protein-coupled adenosine receptors (i.e., A1R, A2AR, A2BR and A3R) which, as expected, are expressed in a large variety of cells throughout the body. Consequently, ARs are potential therapeutic targets in a variety of pathophysiological conditions, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, neurological disorders, and inflammatory and autoimmune diseases

Educación literaria y currículum en España desde 1970

La ausencia de una Historia de la Educación Literaria como corpus teórico a partir del cual construir la Didáctica de la Lengua y la Literatura, incide negativamente en la configuración de esta área de conocimiento. El presente artículo plantea la necesidad de dirigir la mirada desde el saber académico hacia el saber escolar con el objeto de comprender los procesos que engarzan los discursos y las prescripciones oficiales con las prácticas educativas. La lectura de las distintas leyes y programas sobre educación aprobadas en España desde 1970, supone una primera aproximación en la tarea de conocer el lugar que la educación literaria ha ocupado en los planes de estudio

"Secretum" de Antonio Prieto. La novela de una canción

Antonio Prieto´s novel Secretum is seen in these lines as a poetic biography where the author rewrites Petrarch´s Canzoniere in a dialogue among many voices and within a science fiction novel pattern. The same way that Petrarch in his Canzoniere talks to Saint Augustine as he himself did with God in his Confessions. It is indeed the same dialogue that every reader holds with the books he reads. This novel is therefore analyzed as the mythical fusion between Antonio Prieto and Petrarch in an attempt to rescue and save the past (as the author himself states through one of his characters) and in so doing Antonio Prieto becomes a modern interlocutor laden with memory.La novela de Antonio Prieto, Secretum, se observa en estas líneas como una biografía poética en la que el autor reescribe el Cancionero de Petrarca en un diálogo cantado a varias voces y en un molde de novela de ciencia ficción. Del mismo modo que Petrarca en su Cancionero dialogó con San Agustín y éste último, en sus Confesiones, lo hizo con Dios. Es el diálogo que, en definitiva, mantiene cada lector con los libros que lee. Se analiza, pues, esta novela como la fusión mítica de Antonio Prieto con Petrarca en un intento de recuperar y salvar el pasado, (así lo dice el propio autor a través de uno de sus personajes), que convierte a Antonio Prieto en un moderno interlocutor cargado de memoria

Achieving Autonomic Web Service Compositions with Models at Runtime

Over the last years, Web services have become increasingly popular. It is because they allow businesses to share data and business process (BP) logic through a programmatic interface across networks. In order to reach the full potential of Web services, they can be combined to achieve specifi c functionalities. Web services run in complex contexts where arising events may compromise the quality of the system (e.g. a sudden security attack). As a result, it is desirable to count on mechanisms to adapt Web service compositions (or simply called service compositions) according to problematic events in the context. Since critical systems may require prompt responses, manual adaptations are unfeasible in large and intricate service compositions. Thus, it is suitable to have autonomic mechanisms to guide their self-adaptation. One way to achieve this is by implementing variability constructs at the language level. However, this approach may become tedious, difficult to manage, and error-prone as the number of con figurations for the service composition grows. The goal of this thesis is to provide a model-driven framework to guide autonomic adjustments of context-aware service compositions. This framework spans over design time and runtime to face arising known and unknown context events (i.e., foreseen and unforeseen at design time) in the close and open worlds respectively. At design time, we propose a methodology for creating the models that guide autonomic changes. Since Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) lacks support for systematic reuse of service operations, we represent service operations as Software Product Line (SPL) features in a variability model. As a result, our approach can support the construction of service composition families in mass production-environments. In order to reach optimum adaptations, the variability model and its possible con figurations are verifi ed at design time using Constraint Programming (CP). At runtime, when problematic events arise in the context, the variability model is leveraged for guiding autonomic changes of the service composition. The activation and deactivation of features in the variability model result in changes in a composition model that abstracts the underlying service composition. Changes in the variability model are refl ected into the service composition by adding or removing fragments of Business Process Execution Language (WS-BPEL) code, which are deployed at runtime. Model-driven strategies guide the safe migration of running service composition instances. Under the closed-world assumption, the possible context events are fully known at design time. These events will eventually trigger the dynamic adaptation of the service composition. Nevertheless, it is diffi cult to foresee all the possible situations arising in uncertain contexts where service compositions run. Therefore, we extend our framework to cover the dynamic evolution of service compositions to deal with unexpected events in the open world. If model adaptations cannot solve uncertainty, the supporting models self-evolve according to abstract tactics that preserve expected requirements.Alférez Salinas, GH. (2013).

Achieving autonomic Web service compositions with models at runtime

[EN] Several exceptional situations may arise in the complex, heterogeneous, and changing contexts where Web service operations run. For instance, a Web service operation may have greatly increased its execution time or may have become unavailable. The contribution of this article is to provide a tool-supported framework to guide autonomic adjustments of context-aware service compositions using models at runtime. During execution, when problematic events arise in the context, models are used by an autonomic architecture to guide changes of the service composition. Under the closed-world assumption, the possible context events are fully known at design time. Nevertheless, it is difficult to foresee all the possible situations arising in uncertain contexts where service compositions run. Therefore, the proposed framework also covers the dynamic evolution of service compositions to deal with unexpected events in the open world. An evaluation demonstrates that our framework is efficient during dynamic adjustments.Alférez-Salinas, GH.; Pelechano Ferragud, V. (2017).
