Architecturing the Edges of Enna
2018
The hilltown of Enna in the heart of Sicily is a useful case study to express the importance of the edges as far as urban design is concerned. Edges of cities are stage-sets, are landmarks, and are also joints between the country and the city.
Diseño gráfico para formar al profesorado de primaria
2021
Educar en diseño es probablemente la base para una predisposición social hacia la creatividad y la innovación. Presentamos los resultados de una investigación desarrollada en la práctica universitaria, formulada metodológicamente como estudio de caso. Incorporamos la práctica del diseño gráfico al currículum formativo de Maestro/a en Educación Primaria. Si queremos que la ciudadanía aprecie el diseño, conviene preparar al profesorado. Para lograr este acercamiento al diseño gráfico planteamos un taller en el que cada participante elabora su propio exlibris. Los resultados positivos nos animan a continuar con este tipo de iniciativas que aglutinan diseño, patrimonio, identidad e inclusión. E…
An intercultural approach to music education: Intercultural proposals for primary education
2011
Este artículo pretende mostrar una aproximación a la educación intercultural mediante el proceso de enseñanza musical porque ésta es una parte de la cultura que nos habla del hombre y de su relación con el mundo. Se intenta responder a las nuevas exigencias derivadas de los procesos migratorios con actividades abiertas y flexibles, con las que los docentes adquieran un nuevo protagonismo como profesionales. Éstos necesitan nuevas competencias para desenvolverse adecuadamente en tales contextos complejos, con el trabajo en equipo como principal estrategia ante posibles problemas derivados del diseño curricular y con la integración de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación…
Evaluación del diseño del programa AedEM de Educación Emocional para Educación Secundaria
2016
The systematic interventions in the field of emotional education are a resource increasingly used to facilitate among adolescents acquisition of emotional skills. The review in this work of such interventions shows that most of them take the form of expert programs without integrating their activities within the school curriculum. This paper focuses on the evaluation design of the Programme of Emotional Education (hereinafter AEdEm), which is a compulsory subject in the 1st and 2nd academic years of E.S.O (Compulsory Secondary Education) at a secondary school in the province of Cádiz. This program developed by Sánchez Román y Sánchez Calleja (2015) aims to develop emotional competences foll…
GeoMaTech: Integrating Technology and New Pedagogical Approaches Into Primary and Secondary School Teaching to Enhance Mathematics Education in Hunga…
2015
During the past decades, technology has been becoming an integral part of everyday life and slowly shaping mathematics and science teaching and learning (e.g. Heid & Blume, 2008). Although there have been enormous investments on educational technologies in many countries technology has yet to make a sizable impact on education (e.g. Drijvers et al., 2010). On the one hand students are becoming increasingly proficient users of technology while on the other hand opportunities offered by technologies have still little been utilized. Nevertheless, as technologies are becoming more integrated into education, they are providing new opportunities for pedagogical approaches and classroom organizati…
New therapeutic strategies for treatment of inflammatory bowel disease
2008
Although the precise etiology of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) still remains unclear, considerable progress has been made in the identification of cytokine-mediated signaling pathways involved in the inflammatory process. Recent data have clearly shown that these pathways induce augmented intestinal T-cell activation and thus resistance to apoptosis, which is a central process in disease pathogenesis, as it impairs mucosal homeostasis. Therefore, novel therapeutic strategies aim at restoring activated effector T-cell susceptibility to apoptosis in the gut, based on a pathophysiological rationale. This development is best exemplified by the emergence of agents that target the TNF pathway,…
A Multisite Preregistered Paradigmatic Test of the Ego-Depletion Effect
2021
We conducted a preregistered multilaboratory project ( k = 36; N = 3,531) to assess the size and robustness of ego-depletion effects using a novel replication method, termed the paradigmatic replication approach. Each laboratory implemented one of two procedures that was intended to manipulate self-control and tested performance on a subsequent measure of self-control. Confirmatory tests found a nonsignificant result ( d = 0.06). Confirmatory Bayesian meta-analyses using an informed-prior hypothesis (δ = 0.30, SD = 0.15) found that the data were 4 times more likely under the null than the alternative hypothesis. Hence, preregistered analyses did not find evidence for a depletion effect. Ex…
MULTICRITERIA OPTIMAL DESIGN OF CONTINUOUS CIRCULAR PLATES
2010
The paper is devoted to a quite general version of the multicriteria optimal (minimum volume) design of axisymmetric circular plates. The constitutive material is considered as elastic perfectly plastic without any ductility limit and the actions are assumed as quasi-statically variable within a given load domain. In the design problem formulation different resistance criteria are considered, in order to investigate all the possible structural limit responses, and for each one a suitably chosen safety factor is chosen. The optimal design problem is formulated as the search for the minimum structure volume according with a statical approach. The features of the optimal structures will be stu…
Influence of protecting devices on the optimal design of elastic plastic structures
2008
The paper concerns the minimum volume design of structures constituted by elastic perfectly plastic material. The relevant optimal design problem is formulated on the grounds of a statical approach and two different resistance limits are considered: in particular, it is required that the optimal structure satisfies the elastic shakedown limit and the instantaneous collapse limit, imposing for each different condition a suitably chosen safety factor. For sake of generality, the structure is thought as discretized into compatible finite elements and subjected to loads quasi-statically acting as well as to dynamic (seismic) loads. The effects of the dynamic actions are studied on the grounds o…
Equivalent circuit analysis of solid-rotor induction machines with reference to turbocharger accelerator applications
2006
Theoretical, numerical and experimental studies are described that have been carried out to develop a solid-rotor induction machine design for a particularly demanding application as an accelerator drive for a diesel engine turbocharger. In this application the turbo-motor will be required to operate at speeds of up to 130 000 rpm and in temperatures that can exceed 200°C. The results show that the equivalent circuit gives predictions that are of sufficient precision for design purposes and provides a useful design tool. It is shown that the use of a solid rotor affects the value of the stator leakage reactance and influences the motor performance through this effect as well as by presentin…
