K2 light curve alternative analysis of ASASSN-18bt
2020
On 2018 February 4.41, the All-Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN) discovered ASASSN-18bt in the K2 Campaign 16 field. With a redshift of z=0.01098 and a peak apparent magnitude of B_max_=14.31, ASASSN-18bt is the nearest and brightest Supernovae Ia type (SNe Ia) yet observed by the Kepler spacecraft. Here we present the discovery of ASASSN-18bt, the K2 light curve, and prediscovery data from ASAS-SN and the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System. The K2 early-time light curve has an unprecedented 30-minute cadence and photometric precision for an SN Ia light curve, and it unambiguously shows a ~4 day nearly linear phase followed by a steeper rise. Thus, ASASSN-18bt joins a…

La impugnación del concepto de población activa en la enseñanza de la Geografía
2013
La presente investigación muestra un estudio de caso llevado a cabo en cuatro IES de la zona de Valencia (España) que analiza, con sesiones de observación y análisis de cuestionarios, la práctica docente y las respuestas de los alumnos a diferentes intervenciones educativas en Geografía respecto al concepto de la población activa, el trabajo y el ocio. La finalidad es mostrar el divorcio entre la cotidianeidad de los alumnos y el contenido del currículum escolar; así como constatar que los profesores, mediante la innovación educativa, pueden ser capaces de conectar con la realidad social de los alumnos y adaptar los contenidos a su cotidianeidad. Asimismo, el estudio explora el concepto de …
Life-based design as an extension of problem-based learning:A tool for understanding people and technology
2015
Global conditions are changing at such a rate that foreseeing trends in technological development, economic fluctuations and climatic conditions is ever more difficult. When developing technologies, there is one constant factor that practitioners and researchers should be aware of, and that is people. This is not to say that people, culture and social conditions remain stagnant, for these too evolve with the surrounding circumstances. Rather, appropriate tools and capabilities for investigating people, their lives and life situations, are integral to understanding what people need in terms of technology, how these technologies will be used, and more importantly how they will be valued in th…
An Experiment with Facebook as an Advertising Channel for Books and Audiobooks
2016
The paper addresses the problem of using social media to promote innovative products available in online stores. Motivated by the fast development of the audiobook market, on the one hand, and the efficiency of social media marketing, on the other hand, we conducted an experiment with a marketing campaign of books and audiobooks on the most popular social networking site, Facebook, and discussed it in the paper. The goal of the experiment was exploring possible differences in FB users’ reaction to FB advertisements of traditional books and audiobooks. The experiment was implemented by using a real Facebook fanpage of a Polish publishing house having its own online bookstore. Results show so…
