El sepulcro del Venerable Domingo Anadón en el convento de Santo Domingo de Valencia (1609), obra genovesa encargo del Conde de Benavente = The Tomb …
2020
El presente texto confirma que el monumento funerario encargado en 1609 por Juan Alfonso Pimentel, conde-duque de Benavente a los genoveses Giuseppe Carlone y Oberto Casella fue para la sepultura del fraile Domingo Anadón en el convento de Santo Domingo de Valencia. Se analizan las vicisitudes de este sepulcro junto al de fray Juan Micó en la capilla de San Luis Beltrán del convento, en el marco de la llegada de piezas genovesas a España en época Moderna.AbstractThis text confirms that the funerary monument commissioned in 1609 by Juan Alfonso Pimentel, count-duke of Benavente to the genoese sculptors Giuseppe Carlone and Oberto Casella was for friar Domingo Anadon in the dominican convent …
Literature in the foreign language syllabus: engaging the student through active learning
2012
Resumen en español. Resumen tomado de la publicación Se destaca el papel de la literatura a la hora de implicar al estudiante en el aprendizaje de la lengua extranjera y hacerle practicarla. Además, se señala que el aprendizaje activo es un factor clave para motivar al alumno a leer y a trabajar con los textos literarios. Finalmente, se indica que el rol del profesor, como facilitador, y el uso de estrategias, como el seminario socrático, constituyen recursos efectivos para situar al estudiante como sujeto central de la enseñanza, consiguiendo así su implicación y haciendo el aprendizaje más personal, significativo y memorable.

RIED. Revista iberoamericana de educación a distancia
2015
Los Massive Online Open Courses (MOOC) son una modalidad de formación virtual que está ya presente en el panorama educativo actual y que responde a una concepción determinada de e-learning. Las universidades están integrando como parte de su oferta formativa este tipo de formación o, al menos, se está debatiendo si se integra o no. Ante esto, se hace necesario calibrar cuáles deben ser sus características con el fin de configurar un tipo de formación virtual de calidad. Se considera que son necesarios instrumentos que avalen la calidad de los MOOC desde diferentes perspectivas, en este caso la pedagógica, ya que de ello dependerá el éxito y la consolidación de este tipo de e-learning. El ob…
A comparative analysis of the sustainability of rice cultivation technologies using the analytic network process
2010
Sustainability of local farming systems and technologies is a very important issue that faces notorious measurement difficulties. Multi-criteria methods may help researchers to solve empirical problems in the construction of composite sustainability indicators and in ranking agricultural technologies according to their sustainability. This paper shows how a multi-criteria decision-making technique, the Analytic Network Process (ANP), can be fruitfully employed to this end. Contrary to simpler and hierarchical goal-criteria-alternative approaches, in ANP all the elements in the network can be related in any possible way, which means that a network can incorporate feedback and interdependent …

Review: Electrostatically actuated nanobeam-based nanoelectromechanical switches – materials solutions and operational conditions
2018
This review summarizes relevant research in the field of electrostatically actuated nanobeam-based nanoelectromechanical (NEM) switches. The main switch architectures and structural elements are briefly described and compared. Investigation methods that allow for exploring coupled electromechanical interactions as well as studies of mechanically or electrically induced effects are covered. An examination of the complex nanocontact behaviour during various stages of the switching cycle is provided. The choice of the switching element and the electrode is addressed from the materials perspective, detailing the benefits and drawbacks for each. An overview of experimentally demonstrated NEM swi…
Nanowire ordered Arrays for electrochemical sensing of H2O2
2016
In this work, we present the performance of nanostructured array of Cu for electrochemical sensors of hydrogen peroxide. Nanostructured sensors are obtained by template synthesis in commercial polycarbonate membranes. Arrays of Cu nanowires were fabricated through a displacement deposition reaction that permits to obtain nanostructures directly and without the use of an external power supply. To test the performance of nanostructured sensors, electrochemical experiments were carried out in an aqueous solution with different amounts of hydrogen peroxide. In order to obtain sensors with stable performance, we found that it is essential to increase wettability of the nanostructures through add…
What is immersive journalism?
2020
Immersive technologies are opening gateways to virtual realities that might change journalism forever. In the virtual world, journalism balances on the edge between imaginary approaches to fact-based creation and extended options for fakes. The journalistic maneuverings between reality and virtual reality are particularly intriguing to work with because they put the truth-seeking values of journalism into play. How can immersive technologies be applied to improve meaningful reporting and investigate storytelling in journalism? How can skills and knowledge of virtual reality empower news professionals? And how can journalism codes of ethics help shape the new platforms, shape a future in whi…
Becoming a Language Teacher: A dream come true or a source of anxiety?
2015
In this qualitative study the author examined personal narratives written by 14 Finnish speaking student teachers of Swedish, in order to find out what they tell about their thoughts and feelings concerning their future work as language teachers. The following three themes were in focus: firstly, what university students tell about their reasons for wanting to become teachers in the first place; secondly, what kinds of worries concerning their future work they mention in their narratives; and thirdly, how student teachers could be supported during transition from teacher education to teaching. According to the study, students choose teaching for reasons that are related to: (a) teacher iden…
Content Domain and Language Competence in Computer-mediated Conversation for Learning
2012
This study addresses the issue of interactional dominance in Teletandem conversations, in which two speakers communicate via video calls and chat and alternatively use their L2, the latter being the native language of the interlocutor. In particular, the research focuses on the impact of language competence (native/non-native) and content expertise (minus/plus familiarity with the topic at hand) on the role assumed by each interlocutor in structuring conversation. The data consists of 3 hours of computer-mediated recorded and transcribed conversations during 3 meetings: meeting 1 comprises free discussion for mutual introduction; meeting 2 is a discussion in English of a topic chosen by the…
