Gaming y evaluación interactiva en los entornos de aprendizaje de Gestión de Medios (PIGE-On)

PIGE-On se ha basado en el desarrollo de un juego de simulación en la asignatura de Teoría de la Empresa Informativa, de 1º de Periodismo. Se ha tratado de que los alumnos, distribuidos por equipos, implementasen una práctica de gestión, y se les evaluara con la herramienta Socrative. Teniendo en cuenta sus principales claves, PIGE-On ha perseguido, por un lado, empoderar lo que de positivo tiene el modelo cara a cara en el aula y, por otro, potenciar los valores de la Flipped Classroom (FC)

Resultados contrapuestos en una experiencia piloto de docencia inversa

El uso de la tecnología de la información y las comunicaciones permite explorar nuevas alternativas para la mejora del proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. En esta comunicación se exponen los resultados obtenidos en relación con la docencia de la materia de Teoría de Autómatas durante el segundo año de la experiencia piloto de implantación de la docencia inversa en el Grado de Informática de la Universidad Politécnica de Valencia. Los buenos resultados obtenidos por el equipo en el primer año sugirieron mantener el protocolo de trabajo y autoevaluación previa a la clase presencial. La experiencia limitada del primer año se mantuvo en un grupo exclusivo de matrícula voluntaria, extendiéndose además de forma puntual en la docencia de distintos grupos de matrícula ordinaria para valorar el efecto en grupos de mayor tamaño. Los resultados obtenidos en el segundo año no son comparables a los obtenidos el curso anterior, siendo necesaria una modificación del protocolo si se busca utilizar la docencia inversa en grupos de tamaño medio/alto

Universidad y colectivos vulnerables

El acceso y permanencia en la universidad sigue sin ofrecer, por el momento, las mismas oportunidades a todos los ciudadanos que están en condiciones de realizar estudios superiores. Razones económicas, culturales, sociales o de género castigan posibilidades de realización y de promoción personal y social. La utopía de una universidad más inclusiva sigue siendo, al respecto, un reto para estas instituciones. La presente aportación, complementaria a otras ya editadas anteriormente (http://accelera.uab.cat/documents_edo/biblio/) sobre la temática, recoge las aportaciones más significativas presentadas en el Congreso Universidad y Colectivos Vulnerables 2014, celebrado en Veracruz (México) el 29 y 30 de octubre de 2014. Promovido por el Proyecto ACCEDES (http://edo.uab.cat/accedes/), ha sido un espacio para presentar y debatir los resultados del mismo, así como una oportunidad para el encuentro con otros proyectos y experiencias significativas sobre la temática. Lo más destacable de la misma, es la huida que representa de aportaciones generales sobre la universidad inclusiva y la focalización que realiza en relación a propuestas concretas centradas en los colectivos más vulnerables que se pueden encontrar en las universidades: indígenas, mujeres, discapacitados, minorías, no habituales, estudiantes de zonas rurales, emigrantes y colectivos con un Índice de Desarrollo Humano (IDH) muy bajo. También la orientación práctica, al centrarse en estrategias, instrumentos y experiencias. Se trata, en síntesis, de apoyar el desarrollo de una universidad cuya misión y objetivos se orientan a promover la inclusión de todos los estudiantes y, especialmente, de aquellos que se encuentran en una situación de vulnerabilidad y que pueden poner en evidencia la capacidad o incapacidad del sistema universitario para lograr el equilibrio entre calidad y equidad. El proyecto ACCEDES, financiado por la Unión Europea, contribuye así a alcanzar sus propósitos vinculados al desarrollo de herramientas para el desarrollo organizacional de las instituciones de educación superior en la aplicación de las acciones de mejora en el acceso, excelencia académica y fase de egreso de colectivos vulnerables. Esperemos que su contenido sirva al propósito mencionado, contribuya a la promoción de la inclusión en la educación superior en Latinoamérica y ayude a encontrar el equilibro entre calidad y equidad en los sistemas universitarios

Unveiling the Origin of Multidomain Structures in Compositionally Modulated Cylindrical Magnetic Nanowires

[EN] CoNi/Ni multisegmented cylindrical nanowires were synthesized via an electrochemical route. The wires are 140 nm in diameter, with 1000 nm long Ni segments and CoNi segments between 600 and 1400 nm in length. The magnetic configuration was imaged by XMCD-PEEM in the demagnetized state and at remanence after magnetizing axially and perpendicularly. Ni segments, with cubic crystal symmetry, show an axial magnetic configuration with a small curling component at the surface. In turn, CoNi segments, with hexagonal crystal symmetry and a strong magnetocrystalline anisotropy perpendicular to the nanowires, show a single vortex state in the shorter segments and multivortex or multitransverse magnetic configurations in medium and long segments, respectively. A detailed study by micromagnetic simulations reveals that the magnetic configuration is determined mainly by the coupling between soft Ni and harder CoNi segments. For short CoNi segments, Ni segments are magnetostatically coupled and the chirality of the single vortex formed in CoNi remains the same as that of the curling in neighboring Ni segments. For longer CoNi segments, the remanent state is either the multivortex or multitransverse state depending on whether the previously applied field was parallel or perpendicular to the magnetocrystalline axis. The results point out the relevance of the cylindrical geometry to promote the occurrence of complex magneto-chiral effects and provide key information for the design of cylindrical magnetic nanowires for multiple applications.Support ofSpanish MINECO under Projects MAT2016-76824-C3-1-Rand FIS2016-78591-C3-3-R and the Regional Government of Madrid under Project S2018/NMT-4321 NANOMAGCOST-CM.

Evaluating the impact of existing legislation in Europe with regard to Female Genital Mutilation

The Spanish Report on the evaluation of existing legislation with regard to Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is the result of a research project supported by the European Commision Daphne Programme. The project Evaluating the impact of existing legislation in Europe with regard to female genital mutilation, has been coordinated by the International Centre for Reproductive Health of Ghent University (Belgium) from january 2003 to march 2004. The project included as partners the Foundation for Women’s Health, Research and Development (FORWARD, United Kingdom); Lund University (Sweden); Commission pour l'Abolition des Mutilations Sexuelles, (CAMS, France), the Centre of Studies on Citizenship, Migration and Minorities of the University of Valencia (GECIM, Spain), and the above mentioned ICRH (Ghent University, Belgium) . The Spanish report is an interdisciplinary research done by the Centre of Studies on Citizenship, Migration and Minorities (University of València), directed by professor Javier De Lucas, and which counts with researchers and collaborators both, from the University of Valencia and other Universities such as University of Barcelona and University Rovira i Virgili of Tarragona; in the fields of Law (Penal Law, Constitutional Law, Theory and Philosophy of Law), Sociology and Antropology. The Group of researchers includes as well lawyers and public prosecutors. Practice of Female Genital Mutilation in Spain, like other european countries, address this rite that is introduced by immigrants from countries where the practice is prevalent (as we may see in chapter 3), as a violation of women’s rights and consider that such violation cannot be justified by respect of cultural traditions or initiation ceremonies. The increasing of immigration in Spain, has been a fact in last years, and it would be an important issue in future, increasing too the number of girls at risk in our country. In Spain, since october 2003, we have anew specific legislation, but before Female Genital Mutilation was liable too under the general offence of injuries in the Penal Code. In this Report, like in the other of the project, we have examined the possibilities and difficulties in the implementation of the spanish national legislation, in order to recommend a legislative and political strategy through Europe. page4image1440 The research methodology, common to all reports, was designed by the ICRH in its cooordination task, but was as well discussed by all the partners along the six steering commitee meetings we have had. The structure and content of report reflects the answers to following questions: 1. What is the legislation with regard to FGM in your country? Description of the legislation.; 2. What is the number of published court cases/suspected cases related to FGM in your country? What is the number of “hearsay” cases?; 3. Brief description of the practising community and the corresponding jurisdiction: number of Africans per country in the geographic area where the cases that you describe are located; 4. What is the procedure to be followed in case of a legal intervention to prevent or to penalise the performance of FGM?; 5. Is legislation applicable on FGM being implemented?; 6.What are the obstructing (favouring) factors for the implementation of legislation applicable to FGM? First of all we have compiled information about legislation applied with regard to FGM: not only general or specific criminal law, (in the case of Spain both because we have a change of law since october 2003), but also child protection procedures. In chapter 1, you may find the result: a Constitutional analysis, changes in Criminal Law, ans an introduction to Minor protection Laws. The second issue was the knowledge of court cases, police and judicial investigation in order to study how justice works. In this part, we contact key-informants, review archival records and study other reports: usually sociological, anthropological and health reports. In chapter 2 we have selected and summarized seven court cases in which we hace found enough relevant information to other parts of the report. At the same time, we need to identify the practicing communities to estimate the prevalence of women with FGM and the number of girls at risk of FGM. This was interesting not only to limit the research but to focus on a territory where there was a probability of cases in Court. We have choosen Catalonia: a community with court cases (in Barcelona and Girona) and prevalence of FGM; and Valencia, a territory without known cases and with no prevalence of FGM. This analysis is shown in chapter 3. In order to detect factors that hamper the implementation of existing legisaltion we need to know how procedures works at different levels: health services, social assistance, police, prosecution office and courts. Examining procedure laws, referral procedures, guidelines or ruled practices was not enough. We had to know what happen, who know a case, which institution examine it, which real mens they have.... To complete this, we have performe a study, interviewing key-informants with an standard interview: police, prosecutors, judges, doctors, nurses, social assistants and immigrants. Interviews were fulfilled in Valencia, Tarragona, Barcelona and Girona. Results are in Chapter 4 (procedure followed); Chapter 5 (implementation of appllicable legislation) and Chapter 6 (obstructing and favouring factors for the implementation of legislation). We had three main meetings to design the research and discuss texts and provissional results. Some of conclusions of provissional spanish report were discused in two seminars: “Ciudadania europea y conflictos culturales”, [european citizenship and cultural conflicts] (Valencia, 29, 30 and 31 october 2003); and “Violencia de género: instrumentos jurídicos en la lucha contra la discriminación de las mujeres”[Gender violence: legal instruments fighting agains women discrimination] (Valencia, 26, 27 and 28 november 2003) The study was financed by the European Commission, Daphne programme, and ran from January 2003 to March 2004 (EC-CONTRACT no 02/058/WYC). In additon, in the period we have done this study, the Centre of Studies on Citizenship, Migration and Minorities was financed with other projects related: “Indicadores y medidas para el desarrollo de políticas públicas de integración social de los inmigrantes y la garantía de sus derechos en la Comunidad Valenciana”, [indicators and measures to develop public policies for social integration of immigrants and the protection of their fundamental rights in the Land of Valencia], Project I+D “Generalitat Valenciana”; 2002-2003; "Los derechos fundamentales en las sociedades multiculturales" [fundamental rights in multicultural societies], project I+D, Subdirección General de Proyectos de Investigación, Dirección General de Investigación, Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología, november 2002-october 2005; “Los derechos de participación como elemento de integración de los inmigrantes” [participation rights as a element of the integration of immigrants], II Convocatoria de Ayudas a la Investigación en Economía, Demografía y Estudios de Población y Estudios Europeos de la Fundacion BBVA; 2004-2005. We wish to thank all who have collaborated in this study, specially we remark the collaboration and contributions of Elena Gascón Sorribas (Sociology of Law Laboratory; University of Zaragoza); María Heras García (Public Prosecutor); Dolores Gisbert Millet (Doctor, Health Service, Valencia); Ignacio de Lucas (Public Prosecutor); Laura Matilla (Lawyer, city council of Cullera); Joan Mayoral Simón (Justice Evaluating the impact of existing legislation with regard to Female Genital Mutilation..Spanish National Report.

With the results of the five National Report analysis and the information about legislation in all European Union member States, the coordinators, Els Leye and Jessika Deblonde, have elaborated A comparative analysis of the different legal approaches in the 15 EU Member States, and the respective judicial outcomes in Belgium, France, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom (ICRH, 2004)

Effectiveness of a smartphone application for improving healthy lifestyles, a randomized clinical trial (EVIDENT II) : study protocol

Background: New technologies could facilitate changes in lifestyle and improve public health. However, no large randomized, controlled studies providing scientific evidence of the benefits of their use have been made. The aims of this study are to develop and validate a smartphone application, and to evaluate the effect of adding this tool to a standardized intervention designed to improve adherence to the Mediterranean diet and to physical activity. An evaluation is also made of the effect of modifying habits upon vascular structure and function, and therefore on arterial aging. Methods/Design: A randomized, double-blind, multicenter, parallel group clinical trial will be carried out. A total of 1215 subjects under 70 years of age from the EVIDENT trial will be included. Counseling common to both groups (control and intervention) will be provided on adaptation to the Mediterranean diet and on physical activity. The intervention group moreover will receive training on the use of a smartphone application designed to promote a healthy diet and increased physical activity, and will use the application for three months. The main study endpoints will be the changes in physical activity, assessed by accelerometer and the 7-day Physical Activity Recall (PAR) interview, and adaptation to the Mediterranean diet, as evaluated by an adherence questionnaire and a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Evaluation also will be made of vascular structure and function based on central arterial pressure, the radial augmentation index, pulse velocity, the cardio-ankle vascular index, and carotid intima-media thickness. Discussion: Confirmation that the new technologies are useful for promoting healthier lifestyles and that their effects are beneficial in terms of arterial aging will have important clinical implications, and may contribute to generalize their application in favor of improved population health.
