Comparison of theoretical heat transfer model with results from experimental monitoring installed in a refurbishment with ventilated facade
One of the main points to consider when a building is renovated is the improvement of its energy efficiency, minimizing the heat loss through the enclosures and its heating consumption. Under this scope idea a ventilated facade was designed and incorporated in an educational building located in the city of Burgos (Spain). The main objective of this document is a comparison between the theoretical model of heat transfer across the building envelope separating the environment and the interior space, and the heat intake through a linear regression model with installed experimental monitoring. For this it has been necessary to carry out an exhaustive study of the thermal transmission of each one of the materials that make up the thermal envelope of the building, as well as the linear thermal bridges that can be produced before and after the renovation. In addition, thanks to the monitoring installed in the demonstrator building, the interior and exterior temperatures and the heat consumption of each of the radiators is known. In this way expected and real energy savings have been compared

Sarcopenic osteoporosis, sarcopenic obesity, and sarcopenic osteoporotic obesity in the Camargo cohort (Cantabria, Spain)
Summary
The associations of sarcopenia with osteoporosis or obesity have a very low prevalence. No trend towards an association between osteoporosis and sarcopenia is observed. Sarcopenia and obesity tend not to coincide, as if they were antagonistic disorders.
Purpose
To know (a) the prevalence in our region of sarcopenic osteoporosis (association of sarcopenia and osteoporosis (T-score<2.5)), sarcopenic obesity, and the association of osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and obesity; (b) the tendency of osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and obesity to associate with each other; and (c) the bone mineral density (BMD), the components of sarcopenia, and the prevalence of fragility fractures in these associations.
Methods
The study was performed in the Camargo cohort. Osteoporosis was diagnosed by DXA, sarcopenia by the EWGSOP-1 criteria, and obesity by body mass index (BMI) and fat percentage. Fractures were verified radiographically or by consulting the medical records.
Results
The prevalence of sarcopenic osteoporosis was 2.8% and the OR for this association 1.03 (p=0.89). The prevalence of sarcopenic obesity by BMI was 1.4% and by fat percentage 5.9% (corresponding ORs: 0.18 (p<0.0001) and 0.58 (p<0.003) respectively). The prevalence of the association of osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and obesity was 0.0% when assessed by BMI and 0.8% when assessed by fat percentage. Patients with sarcopenic osteoporosis have less muscle mass and more fragility fractures than sarcopenic patients overall. In patients with sarcopenic obesity by fat percentage, muscle mass and strength, as well as physical performance, were similar to those of sarcopenic patients overall. Neither BMD nor fracture prevalence showed differences between patients with sarcopenic obesity and patients with sarcopenia or obesity in general.
Conclusion
Our study supports the idea that the prevalence of the mixed disorders studied is low. No significant association between osteoporosis and sarcopenia was found. Sarcopenia and obesity seem to tend to occur in different people, as if suffering from one of them hinders suffering from the other.Funding: Open Access funding provided thanks to the CRUE-CSIC agreement with Springer Nature.

Training of Adult Workers in Europe and Brazil. Between Emancipatory Education and Recycling for the Market
Este artículo investiga las concepciones sobre educación y formación de adultos
trabajadores, forjadas en dos contextos educativos muy diferenciados, como son Europa y
Brasil. Teniendo en cuenta las diferencias entre los factores históricos, económicos,
políticos y sociales relevantes en los países europeos y en Brasil, ha sido posible identificar
algunas influencias relevantes de la concepción europea de educación de adultos sobre la
evolución histórica de la educación brasileña. En todo caso, existen rasgos peculiares de la
realidad brasileña, derivadas de la baja tasa de escolaridad y de la situación de exclusión
educativa, vivida por los trabajadores brasileños hasta el momento actual. Esto implica una
fuerte diferencia entre la realidad europea y la de Brasil, debido principalmente al desarrollo
de la formación profesional en Europa como estrategia de educación permanente. Tras la
fase histórica de la educación permanente, que se desarrolló a mediados del siglo XX, los
enfoques actuales sobre la educación a lo largo de la vida precisan ser debidamente
contextualizados, para evitar el riesgo de las generalizaciones conceptuales, que tienden,
históricamente, a ocultar y legitimar las políticas educativas excluyentes. Este artículo
discute también las tensiones y contradicciones entre dos enfoques educativos presentes
en la actualidad en la educación de adultos: uno orientado a la emancipación y otro guiado
por la concepción de la formación como adaptación instrumental de los adultos a la
sociedad y al mercado.This article investigates conceptions about education and training of adult workers, forged in
two very different educational contexts, such as Europe and Brazil. It has been possible to
identify some relevant influences of the European conception of adult education on the historical evolution of Brazilian education, taking into account the differences among
historical, economic, political and social factors that have influenced European countries and
Brazil. There are peculiar features of the Brazilian reality, derived from the low rate of
schooling, and the situation of educational exclusion experienced by the Brazilian workers
up to the present. This implies a strong difference between the European and Brazilian
reality mainly due to the development of vocational training in Europe as a strategy of
permanent education. After the historical phase of permanent education, which developed in
the mid-twentieth century, current approaches to lifelong learning need to be properly
contextualized, to avoid the risk of conceptual generalizations, which historically tend to
conceal and legitimize exclusionary educational policies. This paper also discusses tensions
and conflicts between educational approaches conditioned by emancipation, and by
instrumental adaptation to the labour market and society
Emotion, Psychological Well-Being and Their Influence on Resilience. A Study with Semi-Professional Athletes
The objective of the present study is to analyze the influence of coaches on emotional intelligence and on levels of anxiety, motivation, self-esteem, and resilience among athletes. Five-hundred forty-seven semi-professional athletes between the ages of 16 and 19 participated in this study. Various statistical analyses were conducted which explain the causal relationships between the variables. The results, obtained using a structural equations model, find that while autonomy support positively predicts emotional intelligence, perceived control predicts it negatively. Moreover, emotional intelligence positively predicts self-esteem and self-determined motivation, but negatively predicts anxiety. Other results show that self-esteem positively predicts self-determined motivation, whereas anxiety predicts it negatively. Finally, self-determined motivation positively predicts resilience. Indeed, the study demonstrates the influence and the importance of coaches in relation to the emotional intelligence, psychological well-being, and motivational processes of adolescent athletes when the latter engage in their respective sports. These results help to better understand how different behavioral, emotional, and social aspects belonging to the athlete interrelate with one another during competition
Attitudinal Positioning in Media Discourse: A Contrastive Analysis of Journalistic Commentary
This paper reports on a study that investigates the expression of evaluative language in newspaper comment articles. Th e main focus of this study is to explore diff erences in the use of evaluations in two British national newspapers, the quality Th e Guardian and the popular Th e Sun. Th e expressions of evaluative language are analysed with reference to attitude. Attitude is one of three main components of the Appraisal System in language, which is concerned with the use of evaluative language. Appraisal theory has been developed
within the broader theoretical framework of systemic functional linguistics (SFL) and focuses on the interpersonal metafunction of language. In this context, the fi ndings of the study intend to show the role that evaluative meanings play in the dissemination of ideology, in the constitution of textual styles and authorial identities, and in the negotiation of writer/reader relationships.Este artículo investiga la expresión del lenguaje evaluativo en artículos de opinión en prensa
escrita. El objetivo principal del estudio es explorar las diferencias en el uso de la evaluación
en dos periódicos nacionales británicos, el diario de calidad Th e Guardian y el periódico
popular Th e Sun. Las expresiones del lenguaje evaluativo se analizan con referencia a la
actitud. La actitud es uno de los tres principales componentes del Sistema de la Evaluación
en el lenguaje, que tiene que ver con el uso del lenguaje evaluativo. La Teoría de la Valoración
se desarrolla en el marco teórico de la lingüística sistémico-funcional, centrándose
en la metafunción interpersonal del lenguaje. En este contexto, los hallazgos del estudio
pretenden mostrar el papel de los signifi cados evaluativos en la diseminación de la ideología,
en la constitución de estilos textuales e identidades del autor, y en la negociación de las
relaciones escritor/lector
Popular Education and Employment Training. The Case of the Parque Miraflores Vocational School in Seville, Spain
Este artículo se centra en la educación popular desde una perspectiva muy específica:
la formación para el empleo de alumnos vulnerables, con bajos niveles educativos y
procedentes de medios sociales modestos y con pocas oportunidades educativas. La
contribución que se presenta toma como punto de partida un caso, la escuela taller
Parque Miraflores, en Sevilla (España), una iniciativa de los movimientos sociales,
que ha funcionado durante dos décadas. Se discutieron los principios de la educación
popular y participativa, aplicándolos a las escuelas taller que surgieron en España en
la etapa democrática posterior a la dictadura de Franco. Se presentó el marco actual
de la Formación para el empleo, destacando la necesidad de combinar preparación
profesional, desarrollo social y personal. Finalmente, se resaltó las dimensiones de educación popular y participativa presentes en el caso analizado, comentando sus
implicaciones para la formación socioeconómica, cultural, sindical, académica y
laboral.This paper focuses on popular education from a very specific perspective: employment
training for underachieving and excluded young adult learners from low socioeconomic
backgrounds Its point of departure is a case study involving the Parque
Miraflores vocational training center in Seville, Spain, which operated for two decades
as an initiative of popular social movements. The text begins with a discussion of the
principles of participant and popular educationas applied to the vocational training
centers that originated in Spain during the democratic period following Franco’s
dictatorship. The current framework of employment training is also explored, with
an emphasis upon the need to combine vocational training with social and personal
development. In conclusion, the paper highlights the dimensions of participative and
popular education revealed in the present case under analysis and comments upon
the implications for socioeconomic, cultural, trade union, academic, and occupational
training
