Collaborative learning experiences for the development of higher-order thinking

The work presented in this article describe the conceptualization and methodological proposal for the development of two distinct pedagogical approaches. One, based on Inquiry Based Learning (IBL), is structured in phases, guiding the student through the learning process. The other is based on gamification, applied as an integrated teaching-learning strategy. It includes the definition of the formative assessment, student classification and learning experiences, which include traditional practical assignments and educational games. This study was conceptualized and applied in two curricular units of different areas, to identify the impact that these strategies have in the construction of higher-order skills, such as communication skills, critical thinking and collaboration. There are strong indicators that the intense and active role of students allows them to build strong connection to the issue in study and also to rely on team work for further in the knowledge building.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Modelling and controller design methodology for unmanned vertical take off and landing (UVTOL) vehicles

This paper describes a methodology to parameterize linear, time invariant (LTI) models which represent the dynamics of UVTOLs and that are appropriate for analytical against real telemetry from two vehicles, a mini-helicopter and a quad rotor. The experiments show that despite their inherent limitations the LTI models are suitable for modeling the complex dynamics of aerial vehicles. Different LTI models for the mini-flights were obtained. Similarly, given the geometrical and dynamic characteristics of the quad rotor no distinction is made between stationary, lateral and longitudinal flights, and only one LTI model was obtained, which represents the overall dynamic behavior of the vehicle. Because of their relative simplicity these models were used to design analytical controllers and to obtain different controller prototypes in a quick and simple way to evaluate the UVTO`L performance in difference flight conditions

Sistema de actividades para el desarrollo de la capacidad física de resistencia en las clases de Educación Física

The work that is presented gives an answer to the problem related with the development of the physical capacities, in particular, endurance, in the 8th grade Physical Education subject, for students girls. The objective is to design an activities system for the development of physical capacity of endurance during Physical Education lessons for the 8th grade girls of “Capitana Catalina Valdés” high school of Consolation del Sur municipality. There were used methods of the theoretical, empiric and statistical levels. The contribution to the theory is summed up in the systematizing of the theoretical foundations related with the formation and development of the physical capacities, with emphasis in endurance. Its practical significance resides in the implementation of the activities system that is proposed. The validation of it is carried out through the long duration run of 11 minutes, objective of the program that is applied as pedagogic tests before and after the implementation of the activities system, measuring the behavior of each one of the dimensions and more affected indicators, what demonstrates the effectiveness of it. The general theory of the system was approached, based on the components and didactic laws, principles where the developer teaching learning process is supported, which leads to the integral formation of the students girls and to the quality life improvement

Prevalencia de desnutrición en sujetos mayores de 65 años en la Comunidad de Madrid: Estudio DREAM + 65

Introduction: Disease-related malnutrition (DRM) is a frequent community healthcare problem that predominantly affects adults over 65 years of age and increases morbidity and mortality rates, while also decreasing quality of life. Objective: To study the prevalence of DRM in adults over 65 in different community healthcare centres belonging to the Regional Social Welfare Service of the Community of Madrid. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study in 33 community healthcare centres in Madrid (6 primary healthcare centres (PC), 9 care centres for the elderly (CE), 9 hospitals (H) and 9 nursing homes (NH)) selected by means of multistage sampling. The variables studied were age, sex, level of dependence according to the Red Cross disability scale, reason for admission and underlying disease, habitat (urban-periurban-rural) and geographical distribution (north-centre-south). The Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA-screening) was employed as a nutritional screening tool in all the centres. In the case of patients with positive screening (at risk-malnutrition), the MNA-assessment was carried out. Statistical analysis was conducted with the SPSS 21.0 package and included descriptive statistics, Chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test, one-way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test and univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression analysis (LR). Statistical significance was considered to be p < 0.05. Results: A total of 1,103 subjects were recruited (275 PC, 278 CE, 281 H, 269 NH), mean age 79.5 ± 8.4 years (41.2% were males and 58.8% females). The subjects from H and NH had a higher degree of disability (p < 0.001). The overall prevalence of DRM was 10%, 23.3% being at risk of malnutrition, with differences among the 4 types of community healthcare centres (p < 0.001). The univariate LR analysis showed significant differences in the prevalence of malnutrition according to age, sex, degree of dependence, type of community healthcare centre, habitat and geographical zone. Nevertheless, in the multivariate analysis, only the degree of dependence, the type of centre and habitat were statistically significant. Conclusions: The prevalence of DRM in adults over 65 years of age in the Community of Madrid amounts to 10%, with another 23.3% at risk of malnutrition. The variables that were independently related with malnutrition in the multivariate analysis were only the patients’ level of dependence and the type and setting of the community healthcare centreIntroducción: la desnutrición relacionada con la enfermedad (DRE) es un problema sociosanitario frecuente que afecta preferentemente a los mayores de 65 años, que aumenta la morbimortalidad y disminuye la calidad de vida. Objetivo: estudiar la prevalencia de DRE en mayores de 65 años en diferentes centros sociosanitarios del Servicio Regional de Bienestar Social de la Comunidad de Madrid. Métodos: estudio transversal en 33 centros sociosanitarios de Madrid (6 centros de atención primaria [AP], 9 centros de mayores [CM], 9 hospitales [H] y 9 residencias [R]) seleccionados mediante muestreo polietápico. Las variables estudiadas fueron edad, sexo, nivel de dependencia según la escala de incapacidad de la Cruz Roja, motivo de ingreso y enfermedad de base, hábitat (urbano-periurbano-rural) y distribución geográfica (norte-centro-sur). Como herramienta de cribado nutricional se utilizó el Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA-cribaje) en todos los centros. En los pacientes con cribado positivo (en riesgo-desnutrición) se realizó el MNA-evaluación. El estudio estadístico se realizó con el paquete SSS 21.0 e incluyó estadística descriptiva, test de Chi-cuadrado y prueba exacta de Fisher, ANOVA de un factor, Kruskal-Wallis y análisis de regresión logística (RL) binaria univariante y multivariante. Se consideró significación estadística p < 0,05. Resultados: se reclutaron 1.103 sujetos (275 AP, 278 CM, 281 H, 269 R), edad media de 79,5 ± 8,4 años (41,2% varones, 58,8% mujeres). Los sujetos procedentes de H y R tuvieron un mayor grado de incapacidad (p < 0,001). La prevalencia global de DRE fue del 10%, encontrándose un 23,3% en riesgo de desnutrición, con diferencias entre los cuatro tipos de centros sociosanitarios (p < 0,001). El análisis univariante de RL mostró diferencias significativas en la prevalencia de desnutrición según la edad, sexo, grado de dependencia, tipo de centro sociosanitario, hábitat y zona geográfica. Sin embargo, en el análisis multivariante solo el grado de dependencia, el tipo de centro y el hábitat tuvieron significación estadística. Conclusiones: la prevalencia de DRE en mayores de 65 años en la Comunidad de Madrid es del 10%, encontrándose además un 23,3% en riesgo de desnutrición. Las únicas variables que se relacionaron de forma independiente con la desnutrición en el análisis multivariante fueron el nivel de dependencia de los pacientes y el tipo y hábitat de centro sociosanitari

An exceptional votive deposit in Contributa Iulia Ugultunia (Medina de las Torres, Badajoz)

Agradecemos a la directora de la intervención en la que fue hallado el depósito, Dña. M. García Cabezas las atenciones prestadas; también a la Dra. R. Erice las apreciaciones sobre determinados tipos de fíbulas.Se presenta un conjunto cerámico excepcional localizado en el yacimiento hispanorromano de Contributa Iulia Ugultunia (Medina de las Torres, Badajoz). Además de un análisis en clave tipocronológica de las piezas, se estudia el contexto espacial en el que se localizó, donde se destaca la presencia de un edificio singular. Este estudio nos ha permitido, por un lado, aportar nuevas precisiones cronotipológicas de la vajilla y otros enseres localizados, gracias a la naturaleza unifásica del vertido. Por otro, se presenta una hipótesis de trabajo relativa al acto convivial que generó la deposición y su relación con las prácticas religiosas de este enclave. Para finalizar, este singular hallazgo se pone en relación con otros conjuntos excepcionales hallados en la misma región geográfica, la Baeturia céltica, lo que nos permite trazar algunos patrones de comportamiento común en este espacio del suroroeste peninsular.An exceptional ceramic ensemble located in the Hispano-Roman site of Contributa Iulia Ugultunia (Medina de las Torres, Badajoz) is presented. In addition to a typochronological analysis of the pieces, the spatial context in which it was located is studied, where the presence of a unique building stands out. This study has allowed us, on the one hand, to provide new chronotypological details of the crockery and other localized items, thanks to the one-phase nature of the spill. On the other, a working hypothesis is presented regarding the convivial act that generated the deposition and its relationship with the religious practices of this settlement. Finally, this singular finding is studied in relation with other exceptional assemblages found in the same geographical region, the Celtic Baeturia, which allows us to trace some common behavior patterns in this area of the south-west of the Iberian peninsula.Proyecto Corpus Vasorum Hispanorum.
