Transformations of a teacher in her relationship with a deafblind student

Cuando comenzamos a trabajar en la escuela tenemos un bagaje vivido como alumno que condiciona nuestra forma de dar clase y las expectativas que podemos tener hacia el alumnado, en general y al de necesidades educativas, en especial. Sin embargo, estas concepciones se pueden cambiar. El profesorado puede reconstruir su identidad docente haciendo prevalecer su pasión por la educación y con el apoyo de compañeros y compañeras. La historia de vida que se presenta es el de una maestra de Educación Infantil que tiene en su aula a una alumna inmigrante sordociega. En ella se muestra la transformación de su idea sobre la integración, avanzando a una concepción inclusiva. Este cambio se basa en procesos de reflexión individuales y en diálogos con otros compañeros y compañeras suponiendo que ampliase sus ideas acerca de lo positivo de la educación inclusiva y que las mejoras que buscaba en la alumna se extendiesen a todo el centro y fuera de este. La transformación de las creencias de la docente ha sido muy positiva para la familia de la alumna y para la propia alumna que se encuentran enun aula inclusiva con una educación lo más normalizada posible

Effect of pig slaughter weight on chemical and sensory characteristics of teruel dry-cured ham

A preliminary study was carried out with 36 barrows to investigate the effect of slaughter weight (SW; 120, 130 and 140 kg) on chemical, instrumental and sensory characteristics of Teruel drycured ham. The intramuscular fat content tended to increase and salt, potassium nitrate and sodium nitrite contents decreased as SW increased. The panelists detected wider subcutaneous fat and lower cured colour, saltiness, hardness and fibrousness in hams from heavier pigs but no difference was observed on overall quality assessment. In conclusion, pig SW affected some chemical and sensory traits of dry-cured ham, which contributes to increase the heterogeneity.Publishe

Responses of evergreen and deciduous Quercus species to enhanced ozone levels

Plants of one evergreen oak (Quercus ilex) and three deciduous oaks (Q. faginea, with small leaves; Q. pyrenaica and Q. robur, with large leaves) were exposed both to filtered air and to enhanced ozone levels in Open-Top Chambers. Q. faginea and Q. pyrenaica were studied for the first time. Based on visible injury, gas exchange, chlorophyll content and biomass responses, Q. pyrenaica was the most sensitive species, and Q. ilex was the most tolerant, followed by Q. faginea. Functional leaf traits of the species were related to differences in sensitivity, while accumulated ozone flux via stomata (POD1.6) partly contributed to the observed differences. For risk assessment of Mediterranean vegetation, the diversity of responses detected in this study should be taken into account, applying appropriate critical levels. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Artificial intelligence and journalism: Systematic review of scientific production in Web of Science and Scopus (2008-2019)

Research about the use of Artificial Intelligence applied to journalism has increased over the years. The studies conducted in this field between January 2008 and December 2019 were analysed to understand the contexts in which they have been developed and the challenges detected. The method used consisted of a systematic review of the scientific literature (SLR) of 209 scientific documents published in the Web of Science and Scopus databases. The validation required the inclusion and exclusion criteria, database identification, search engines and evaluation and description of results. The findings indicate that the largest number of publications related to this topic are concentrated in the United States and that the rise of scientific production on Artificial Intelligence in journalism takes place in 2015, when the remarkable growth of these publications begins, until reaching 61 in 2019. It is concluded that research is mainly published in scientific journals, which include works that handle a broad variety of topics, such as information production, data journalism, big data, application in social networks or information checking. In relation to authorship, the trend is the presence of a single signer.La investigación sobre el uso de la Inteligencia Artificial aplicada al periodismo se ha intensificado en los últimos años.

Quevedo en la encrucijada literaria y estética de los años veinte

El presente artículo parte de la consideración de que la presencia de Quevedo es una de las más importantes de los años veinte y mediados de los treinta y la sitúa a la luz de un nuevo marco explicativo: en la sintonía con el expresionismo alemán y de su equivalente autóctono, el irracionalismo de raíces más o menos tradicionales. El auge de Quevedo viene asociado al de Goya y, como tal referencia paralela de signo rehumanizado, su literatura representa la codificación lingüística y literaria de la pintura del genio de Fuendetodos, una de las grandes referencias del expresionismo internacional. This article starts by considering Quevedo’s presence as one of the most important in the 1920’s and mid 1930’s, and places it at the light of a new framework of reference: in conjunction with German expressionism and with its Spanish equivalent, an irrationalism whose roots were more or less traditional. Quevedo’s surge is associated to Goya and, as such parallel reference of a re-humanized kind, his literature represents the linguistic and literary codification of Fuendetodos’ master (Goya), one of the key references of international expressionism

Late multimodal fusion for image and audio music transcription

Music transcription, which deals with the conversion of music sources into a structured digital format, is a key problem for Music Information Retrieval (MIR). When addressing this challenge in computational terms, the MIR community follows two lines of research: music documents, which is the case of Optical Music Recognition (OMR), or audio recordings, which is the case of Automatic Music Transcription (AMT). The different nature of the aforementioned input data has conditioned these fields to develop modality-specific frameworks. However, their recent definition in terms of sequence labeling tasks leads to a common output representation, which enables research on a combined paradigm. In this respect, multimodal image and audio music transcription comprises the challenge of effectively combining the information conveyed by image and audio modalities. In this work, we explore this question at a late-fusion level: we study four combination approaches in order to merge, for the first time, the hypotheses regarding end-to-end OMR and AMT systems in a lattice-based search space. The results obtained for a series of performance scenarios–in which the corresponding single-modality models yield different error rates–showed interesting benefits of these approaches. In addition, two of the four strategies considered significantly improve the corresponding unimodal standard recognition frameworks.This paper is part of the I+D+i PID2020-118447RA-I00 (MultiScore) project, funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033.

Cyclodextrin/poly(anhydride) nanoparticles as drug carriers for the oral delivery of atovaquone.

The aim was to study the ability of bioadhesive cyclodextrin-poly(anhydride) nanoparticles as carriers for the oral delivery of atovaquone (ATO). In order to increase the loading capacity of ATO by poly(anhydride) nanoparticles, the following oligosaccharides were assayed: 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPCD), 2,6-di-O-methyl-β-cyclodextrin (DCMD), randomly methylated-β-cyclodextrin (RMCD) and sulfobuthyl ether-β-cyclodextrin (SBECD). Nanoparticles were obtained by desolvation after the incubation between the poly(anhydride) with the ATO-cyclodextrin complexes. For the pharmacokinetic studies, ATO formulations were administered orally in rats. Overall, ATO displayed a higher affinity for methylated cyclodextrins than for the other derivatives. However, for in vivo studies, both ATO-DMCD-NP and ATO-HPCD-NP were chosen. These nanoparticle formulations showed more adequate physicochemical properties in terms of size (75%). In vivo, nanoparticle formulations induced higher and more prolonged plasmatic levels of atovaquone than control suspensions of the drug in methylcellulose. Relative bioavailability of ATO when loaded in nanoparticles ranged from 52% (for ATO-HPCD NP) to 71% (for ATO-DMCD NP), whereas for the suspension control formulation the bioavailability was only about 30%. The encapsulation of atovaquone in cyclodextrins-poly(anhydride) nanoparticles seems to be an interesting strategy to improve the oral bioavailability of this lipophilic drug
