Análisis de la política ambiental colombiana en la década 2000-2010
El presente artículo tiene como objetivo reivindicar la importancia del uso de marcos deanálisis para el estudio de políticas públicas, e identificar si los análisis realizados sobre lapolítica ambiental colombiana después de la promulgación de la Ley 99 de 1993 se inscribenen marcos analíticos específicos. Se hace una interpretación de textos representativosque analizan la política ambiental, los cuales son clasificados según la tipología de marcosanalíticos en políticas públicas de Bobrow y Dryzek (1987) y se identifica el tipo y contextode cada análisis estudiado. Se concluye que la generalidad de los textos revisados no seencuadra en marcos de análisis específicos que contribuyan al desarrollo de la disciplina delas políticas públicas

The Usefulness of Activity Trackers in Elderly with Reduced Mobility: A Case Study
This study was conducted to determine the accuracy and usefulness
of two current commercially available activity trackers
in rollator dependent elderly with reduced mobility (RME),
compared with elderly with normal mobility (NME) and
healthy adults (HA).
Methods: Accuracy of pedometers placed at hip (Fitbit Ultra
and Samsung GT-I9300 mobile phone) and wrist (Fitbit Ultra)
were evaluated against actual steps (video) in RME (n=5),
NME (n=7) and HA (n=6). Walk speed, Tinetti gait score and
device percent error was calculated and analyzed in SPSS
using Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U and correlation tests.
Results: NME and HA walked significantly faster (p = 0.001)
than RME, had significantly higher gait score (p < 0.05). Gait
scores were correlated with walking speed and negatively with
pedometer percent error (p < 0.01). Estimation error in RME
were >60% at all device locations
Conclusions: Slow walking speed and gait disorders hamper
the utility of pedometers for physical activity measurement in
rollator dependent elderly, with estimation errors >60%. The
tested devices are better suited for use by ostensibly healthy
elderly or adult populations.European Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) Project AAL-2011-4- 09
Intercultural Perspective on Impact of Video Games on Players: Insights from a Systematic Review of Recent Literature
[EN] The video-game industry has become a significant force in the business and entertainment world. Video games have
become so widespread and pervasive that they are now considered a part of the mass media, a common method of
storytelling and representation. Despite the massive popularity of video games, their increasing variety, and the
diversification of the player base, until very recently little attention was devoted to understanding how playing video
games affects the way people think and collaborate across cultures. This paper examines the recent literature regarding
the impact of video games on players from an intercultural perspective. Sixty-two studies are identified whose aim is
to analyze behavioral-change, content understanding, knowledge acquisition, and perceptional impacts. Their findings
suggest that video games have the potential to help to acquire cultural knowledge and develop intercultural literacy,
socio-cultural literacy, cultural awareness, self-awareness, and the cultural understanding of different geopolitical
spaces, to reinforce or weaken stereotypes, and to some extent also facilitate the development of intercultural skills.
The paper provides valuable insights to the scholars, teachers, and practitioners of cultural studies, education, social
studies, as well as to the researchers, pointing out areas for future research.We are grateful for the thoughtful comments provided by the reviewers of this paper.Shliakhovchuk, O.; Muñoz García, A.

Digital game-based learning for D&I: conceptual design of an educational digital game Chuzme
[EN] There is a demand for tools facilitating intercultural, diversity and inclusion
(D&I) education. Video games are one of the most advanced new media
technologies, so it is only natural to suppose that they can offer remarkable
possibilities for fostering learning in the area of intercultural, D&I
education. This article explores theoretical guidelines in the design of
Chuzme, a serious educational game that focuses on raising cultural selfawareness, the acknowledgement of cultural bias, and aims to generate
positive attitudes towards migrants, refugees and expatriates amongst its
players and to train to be an inclusive leader. It is hoped that this will serve
as a useful reference to guide the development of similar titles in the future.Shliakhovchuk, O.; Muñoz García, A. (2020).

Gevrey regularity for a generalization of the Oleĭnik–Radkevič operator
Abstract The Gevrey hypoellipticity of a class of models generalizing the Oleĭnik–Radkevic operator is studied. Some partial regularity result is also given. It is studied the partial and microlocal regularity of the operator L ( t , x ; D t , D x ) = D t 2 + ∑ j = 1 n t 2 ( r j − 1 ) D x j 2 on Ω , open neighborhood of the origin in R n + 1 , where the r j 's are positive integers such that r 1 r 2 ⋯ r n
