Translation Quality Assessment of Google Translate and Microsoft Bing Translator
The assessment of quality has always been a controversial topic regarding on-line
Machine Translation systems. Google Translate and Microsoft Bing Translator are two
of the on-line Machine Translation systems most used nowadays. The aim of this paper
is to assess the quality of their translations in order to present which Machine
Translation system provides an inadequate quality level. Nevertheless, there is not still a
unique methodology to assess the real quality of the translations accomplished by these
tools. A combination of two processes is used to measure the translations: the error
analysis method and the corpus-based method. Also, a specialized text and a nonspecialized
text are used in order to show their possible influence in the performances of
the Machine Translation systems.

un tema polémico. Google Translate y Microsoft Bing Translator son dos de los
sistemas de Traducción Automática más utilizados hoy en día. El objetivo de este
trabajo es evaluar la calidad de sus traducciones para presentar qué sistema de
Traducción Automática produce un nivel de calidad inadecuado. Sin embargo, todavía
no existe una única metodología capaz de evaluar la verdadera calidad de las
traducciones llevadas a cabo por estas herramientas. Una combinación de dos métodos
ha sido empleado para evaluar las traducciones: el análisis de errores y el enfoque
basado en corpus. También, un texto especializado y un texto divulgativo han sido
utilizados para enseñar su posible influencia en los resultados de los sistemas de
Traducción Automática.

El trabajo por proyectos en educación infantil: una experiencia real en el aula
El Trabajo de Fin de Grado que a continuación se presenta explica en qué consiste el trabajo por proyectos, y lo hace desde dos perspectivas, desde un punto de vista teórico y desde la práctica real en un aula de Educación Infantil, en la Comunidad Autónoma de Cantabria.
En el trabajo por proyectos, el niño/a puede mostrarse tal y como es, un ser emocional, activo, curioso, capaz, social. Puede manifestar cuáles son sus intereses y sus necesidades porque van a ser atendidas y cubiertas. Puede expresar libremente sus opiniones y sus ideas porque serán consideradas y respetadas. Puede mostrar sus capacidades y destrezas porque serán valoradas y apreciadas. Se reconoce al niño/a como el principal protagonista del proceso educativo.
Esta nueva manera de mirar al niño/a y de conocer cómo es en realidad su mundo y por tanto, su modo de aprender, nos lleva a realizar una serie de cambios en el proceso de enseñanza, en relación con las metodologías, los espacios, los tiempos, los materiales y con el papel del docente. Nos lleva, en definitiva, a entender la educación de una forma diferente y a que, el sistema educativo actual, se vaya adaptando y reorganizando para dar soporte legal a esta nueva manera de concebir la educación.The Work Order Degree that follows, explains how the Project work is modeled, and it does it from two perspectives, on one hand from a theoretical point of view, and on the other hand from the realistic practice within a pre-school classroom, in Cantabria.
Inside the project work, the kid can show himself as who he/she really is, an emotional, active, curious, social and able human being. He/She can show which his interests are, as well as his/her needings, in order to cover and attend them. He/She can freely show his opinions and his/her ideas, because they are expected to be considered and respected. He/She can show his/her capabilities and abilities, because they are going to be valued and appreciated. The kid is recognized as the main actor within the educative process.
This new approach to contemplate the kid, to try to understand how his world is built, pushes us to make a series of changes inside the educational process, regarding the methodologies, spaces, times, materials, and our role as a teacher. It pushes us definitely, to understand the instruction in a different way, to make the actual educational system being adapted and reorganized, in order to give legal support to this new way to understand the education.Grado en Educación Infanti

Analysis of teacher-student interaction in the joint solving of non-routine problems in primary education classrooms
[EN] The analysis of teacher–student interaction when jointly solving routine problems in the
primary education mathematics classroom has revealed that there is scarce reasoning and little
participation on students’ part. To analyze whether this fact is due to the routine nature of the
problems, a sample of teachers who solved, together with their students, a routine problem involving
three questions with di erent cognitive di culty levels (task 1) was analyzed, describing on which part
of the problem-solving process (selection of information or reasoning) they focused their interaction.
Results showed that they barely focused the interaction on reasoning, and participation of students
was scarce, regardless of the cognitive di culty of the question to be answered. To check whether
these results could be due to the routine nature of the problem, a nonroutine problem (task 2) was
solved by the same sample of teachers and students. The results revealed an increase in both reasoning
and participation of students in processes that required complex reasoning. This being so, the main
conclusion of the present study is that including nonroutine problem solving in the primary education
classroom as a challenging task is a reasonable way to increase students’ ability to use their own
reasoning to solve problems, and to promote greater teacher–student collaboration. These two aspects
are relevant for students to become creative, critical, and reflective citizens.The authors are participants in the following projects: Project Science, Innovation,

Field trips and other teaching resources in natural and social sciences: educational implications from past experiences in Spanish primary schools
[EN] This paper describes the use of Natural and Social Sciences teaching
resources in Spanish primary schools during the second half of the 20th century, based on quantitative and qualitative analysis of 250 recollections of retired teachers. Differences
were identified between groups of teachers determined by gender, previous teaching context
(urban vs rural) and higher education qualifications. Our results show that the academic
background had a direct impact on the variety and type of teaching resources used and
was a determinant factor to promote experiential learning. The study also highlights
the comprehensive use of school field trips in the past as teaching resources to motivate
students and develop different inquiry skills. Finally, the importance of mastering different
educational resources in the teaching profession is discussed.This study is part of the Project Estudio y análisis de la cultura escolar a

Exostosis versus osteocondroma: importance of the differential diagnosis
The appearance, more and more common in the daily office of injuries similar to dematological pathologies as bony, are easily confusing with subungueal exostosis, provides to the podiatrist the necessity to remain alert with any bone anormality. Nevertheless the difficulty is at the time of making a differential diagnosis and the impossibility to treat this pathology with other methods differents from the surgery, makes very important the criterion of any specialized professionals which are involved as part of the multidiscipline team, with the podiatrist, to treat this pathology.The appearance, more and more common in the daily office of injuries similar to dematological pathologies as bony, are easily confusing with subungueal exostosis, provides to the podiatrist the necessity to remain alert with any bone anormality.

Adhesive Interactions Delineate the Topography of the Immune Synapse
T cells form adhesive contacts with antigen-presenting cells (APCs) as part of the normal surveillance process that occurs in lymph nodes and other tissues. Most of these adhesive interactions are formed by integrins that interact with ligands expressed on the surface of the APC. The interactive strength of integrins depends on their degree of membrane proximity as well as intracellular signals that dictate the conformation of the integrin. Integrins appear in different conformations that endow them with different affinities for their ligand(s). Integrin conformation and thus adhesive strength between the T cell and the APC is tuned by intracellular signals that are turned on by ligation of the T cell receptor (TCR) and chemokine receptors. During the different stages of the process, integrins, the TCR and chemokine receptors may be interconnected by the actin cytoskeleton underneath the plasma membrane, forming a chemical and physical network that facilitates the spatiotemporal dynamics, positioning, and function of these receptors and supports cell-cell adhesion during T cell activation, allowing it to perform its effector function
Comparación de métodos de evaluación de la calidad escénica del paisaje alrededor de las autopistas españolas
Con el objetivo de profundizar en el conocimiento de los métodos de evaluación del paisaje y su aplicabilidad al paisaje propio de las autopistas, en este trabajo se han aplicado, al caso concreto de los paisajes que se ven desde autopistas españolas, dos métodos diferentes diseñados para evaluar la calidad del paisaje. El primero es un método cartográfico que considera solo las características físicas del territorio, mientras que el segundo se basa en la valoración de atributos físicos, estéticos y psicológicos (método de valoración mediante fotografías). El estudio de los diferentes atributos por separado ha permitido analizar las diferencias obtenidas en la valoración del paisaje con ambos métodos. La conclusión fue que las diferencias se debían fundamentalmente a la presencia de los atributos que solo pueden ser identificados en el método de valoración mediante fotografías. Los métodos por tanto son complementarios, el método cartográfico es adecuado para estudios ambientales de grandes territorios, mientras que la valoración mediante fotografías es más apropiada para escalas de más detalle

Chiari Syndrome: Advances in Epidemiology and Pathogenesis: A Systematic Review
We are grateful to the Official College of Nursing of Granada (CODEGRA) for
their help in the research support program and to the Chair of Research in Nursing Care of the
University of Granada and the Official College of Nursing of Granada.Arnold Chiari syndrome is a rare congenital disease of unknown prevalence and whose
origin is still under study. It is encompassed within the posterior cranial malformations, showing a
wide spectrum of symptomatology that can range from severe headache, dizziness, and paresthesia
to complete asymptomatology. It is for this reason that early diagnosis of the disease is difficult, and
it is usually diagnosed in adolescence. Treatment is based on remodeling and decompression of the
malformed posterior cranial fossa, although the risk of residual symptoms after surgery is high. The
aim of this review is to update all the existing information on this pathology by means of an exhaustive
analysis covering all the scientific literature produced in the last 5 years. In addition, it has been
carried out following the PRISMA model and registered in PROSPERO with code CRD42023394490.
One of the main conclusions based on the results obtained in this review is that the origin of the
syndrome could have a genetic basis and that the treatment of choice is the decompression of the
posterior cerebral fossa.Official College of Nursing of Granada (CODEGRA)University of Granad
