Spatial point process modeling applied to the assessment of risk factors associated to forest wildfires incidence in Castellón, Spain

During the last decades the Mediterranean zone in Europe has experienced an increment in the incidence of forest wildfires. This increase is partly explained by higher mean temperature and lower relative humidity, while socioeconomic change has lead to the abandonment of farms, resulting in an increase in an unusual accumulation of forest fuels, increasing the risk of wildfires. Mapping wildfire risk is highly important because wildfires are known to potentially lead to landscape changes and to modify fire regime by inducing potential changes in vegetation composition. Also, they pose a hazard to human property and life. Maps of wildfire risk based on statistical models provide a measure of uncertainty for the inferences derived from such risk maps, leaving a quantitative error margin for managers and decision takers. Further, some of the model parameters often have a physical or a biological interpretation which can give ecologists and forest engineers answers about scientific questions of interest. In this paper, we analyze the incidence of wildfires in the province of Castellón in Spain in order to identify risk factors associated with wildfire incidences during the years 2001–2006. We used the discrete nature of wildfire events to build such models using point process theory and methods and included information about elevation, slope, aspect, land use and distance to nearest road as covariates in our modeling process. Our results show that wildfire risk in Castellón is associated with all the covariates considered and that three land-use categories have the highest risk of wildfire incidence. Also, wildfire incidences are not independent and some degree of interaction exists, which indicates that the commonly used Poisson point process models are not applicable in this case, but instead area-interaction models should be considered

"Lavando los trapos sucios". Una experiencia de educación para la ciudadanía crítica en la Universidad de Cantabria

RESUMEN: En esta comunicación se presenta una experiencia desarrollada en la asignatura Las TICs aplicadas a la educación en dos grupos de tercero del Grado de Educación Infantil de la Universidad de Cantabria durante el curso 2017-2018. Frente a aquellas concepciones de la Tecnología Educativa como un campo de conocimiento orientado al desarrollo de competencias destinadas al manejo de diferentes tipos de dispositivos tecnológicos (pizarras digitales interactivas, tablets, etc.), esta experiencia se fundamenta en la necesidad de trabajar con contenidos socialmente relevantes que ayuden al alumnado a comprender la realidad global en la que vive para intervenir en ella con el objetivo de mejorarla. Más concretamente, el trabajo se focalizó en el desarrollo de una narrativa transmedia orientada a analizar y reflexionar sobre las condiciones de las trabajadoras y trabajadores de la industria textil en las fábricas que, tras un progresivo proceso de deslocalización, se han venido instalando en los países del Sur con el objetivo de abaratar los costes en los procesos de producción pagando salarios de miseria, desarrollando actividades que no respetan el medio ambiente, manteniendo a las trabajadoras en condiciones de semi-esclavitud, etc. De un modo u otro, el trabajo realizado pretendió ayudar al alumnado a conectar sus propias vivencias de adquisición de productos ampliamente consumidos por este colectivo (ropa, calzado, bolsos, etc.) con las condiciones de trabajo de las personas que los fabrican, comprendiendo así las relaciones de producción existentes en la industria textil. En esta comunicación llevamos a cabo un análisis de las decisiones pedagógicas adoptadas, la descripción pormenorizada de las diversas fases de trabajo (documentación, definición de las ideas a transmitir, producción y edición/ post-producción), los contenidos abordados por el alumnado en sus trabajos, así como el análisis de un caso (una de las narrativas realizadas por uno de los grupos de trabajo) para ejemplificar los resultados obtenidos. El trabajo realizado nos permite constatar que esta experiencia permitió al alumnado profundizar en la comprensión de las relaciones de producción que se establecen entre los países del Norte y del Sur y en las implicaciones éticas que esto tiene en su dimensión como consumidores de productos

The Pedagogic Architecture of MOOC: A Research Project on Educational Courses in Spanish

Abstract: This study has been carried out within the context of the ECO European Project (E-learning, Communication Open-Data: Massive Mobile, Ubiquitous, and Open Learning) which is being financed by the European Union over four years (2014-17). It analyses the pedagogic architecture of MOOC on pedagogic/educational subjects in Spanish over one academic year (September 2015-June 2016). The analysis focuses on five major dimensions from a qualitative perspective: subjects and the promoting institution, methodology, resources, type of videos, and evaluation. The results demonstrate the hegemony of subjects linked to the Society of Knowledge, such as the widespread use of traditional methodology based on video lessons (the ?talking head? model). Communication tools are clearly underused and evaluation based on the use of questionnaires is dominant. The findings show the need for further research into MOOC based on a pedagogic approach such as the one adopted he

Identification of predictive factors of the degree of adherence to the Mediterranean diet through machine-learning techniques

[Abstract] Food consumption patterns have undergone changes that in recent years have resulted in serious health problems. Studies based on the evaluation of the nutritional status have determined that the adoption of a food pattern-based primarily on a Mediterranean diet (MD) has a preventive role, as well as the ability to mitigate the negative effects of certain pathologies. A group of more than 500 adults aged over 40 years from our cohort in Northwestern Spain was surveyed. Under our experimental design, 10 experiments were run with four different machine-learning algorithms and the predictive factors most relevant to the adherence of a MD were identified. A feature selection approach was explored and under a null hypothesis test, it was concluded that only 16 measures were of relevance, suggesting the strength of this observational study. Our findings indicate that the following factors have the highest predictive value in terms of the degree of adherence to the MD: basal metabolic rate, mini nutritional assessment questionnaire total score, weight, height, bone density, waist-hip ratio, smoking habits, age, EDI-OD, circumference of the arm, activity metabolism, subscapular skinfold, subscapular circumference in cm, circumference of the waist, circumference of the calf and brachial area.Instituto de Salud Carlos III; PI17/01826Xunta de Galicia; ED431G/01Xunta de Galicia; ED431D 2017/16Xunta de Galicia; ED431D 2017/23Xunta de Galicia; ED431C 2018/4

Synthesis, properties, and some rhodium, iridium, and platinum complexes of a series of bulky m-terphenylphosphine ligands

A series of sterically demanding aryl phosphine ligands (L) bearing terphenyl substituents, PR2Ar′ (R = hydrocarbyl, Ar′ = 2,6-diarylphenyl radical) has been prepared and characterized. The stability of these ligands towards oxidation in the air has been tested, and theoretical and experimental studies aimed to provide information on their electronic and steric properties have been performed. Treatment of the metal dimers [MCl(COD)]2(M = Rh, Ir; COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) with ligands PMe2ArXyl2(L1) and PMe2ArDipp2(L5), in a 1:1 metal:ligand ratio, afforded the expected square-planar 16-electron complexes [MCl(COD)(PMe2ArXyl2)] and [MCl(COD)(PMe2ArDipp2)], respectively. These compounds were readily converted into the corresponding dicarbonyl derivatives, [MCl(CO)2(PMe2ArXyl2)] and [MCl(CO)2(PMe2ArDipp2)], respectively. While the expected κ1-P coordination mode of the PR2Ar′ ligands is found for these rhodium and iridium species, the mononuclear Pt(II) derivative obtained by reaction of PtCl2with PMe2ArDipp2has composition [PtCl2(PMe2ArDipp2)], and exhibits a bidentate κ1-P, η1-arene coordination mode involving one of the ipso carbon atoms of a flanking terphenyl aryl ring. The corresponding carbonyl compound [PtCl2(CO)(PMe2ArDipp2)], was generated under a CO atmosphere and exhibits κ1-P coordination mode.Ministerio de Ciencia CTQ2013-42501-P, CTQ2014-51912-REDC, CTQ-2014-52769-C3-3-RJunta de Andalucía FQM-119 P09-FQM-4832, FQM-2126European Union 26722
