El pensamiento espontáneo docente sobre la ciencia y su enseñanza
2018
<span>En las dos últimas décadas la investigación en didáctica de las ciencias ha centrado su atención en el aprendizaje y, en particular, se ha caracterizado por haber estudiado en profundidad el conocimiento inicial de los estudiantes en muy diversos dominios de las ciencias. Desde hace pocos años el énfasis está derivado -y cada vez con mayor interés- hacia el estudio de la enseñanza y, en particular, hacia el de su principal artífice: el profesorado.</span>
Sostenibilidad y laboratorios escolares
2018
<span>Actualmente no es ninguna exageración afirmar que estamos viviendo una situación de verdadera emergencia planetaria, marcada por toda una serie de graves problemas estrechamente relacionados entre sí, tales como: superpoblación, contaminación, agotamiento de recursos naturales, cambio climático, pérdida de biodiversidad, lluvia ácida y destrucción de la capa de ozono. Dichos problemas, lejos de disminuir, son cada vez más intensos y extienden su impacto sobre todo el planeta. Así, en cuanto al calentamiento global, se afirma que la gravedad es tal, que si no se pone freno antes de una decena de años, después será ya demasiado tarde (Gore, 2007).</span>
La motivación de los estudiantes y la enseñanza de la Química. Una cuestión controvertida
2018
<span>El tema de la motivación de los estudiantes hacia el aprendizaje de cualquier materia científica constituye una seria preocupación para el profesorado. En primer lugar, porque los docentes constatan una falta general de interés de los alumnos hacia las disciplinas científicas como la Física y la Química. Esta percepción ha sido corroborada por los propios estudiantes en diferentes trabajos de investigación. En efecto, los propios estudiantes señalan como principales causantes de su actitud desfavorable, de su desinterés hacia la ciencia y su aprendizaje, a la enseñanza de una ciencia descontextualizada...</span>
Dificultades para la incorporación a la enseñanza de los hallazgos de la investigación e innovación en didáctica de las ciencias
2018
<span>La importancia social concedida, desde hace ya décadas, a la educación científica (Dewey 1916; Langevin, 1926) ha ido creciendo y ha experimentado, últimamente, un cambio cualitativo. En efecto, la tradicional importancia concedida a las inversiones en educación científica y tecnológica, para hacer posible el desarrollo futuro de un país, ha dejado paso al convencimiento de que la alfabetización científica de todos los ciudadanos y ciudadanas ha pasado a constituir una exigencia urgente, un requisito también para el desarrollo inmediato.</span>
Elucidating the Influence of the Activation Energy on Reaction Rates by Simulations Based on a Simple Particle Model
2020
An application for visualizing the dynamic properties of an equimolar binary mixture of isotropic reactive particles is presented. By introducing a user selectable choice for the activation energy, the application is useful to demonstrate qualitatively that the reaction rate depends on the above choice and on temperature. The application is based on a 2D realistic dynamic model where atoms move because of their thermal energies and the trajectories are determined by solving numerically Newton’s laws according to a Molecular Dynamics (MD) scheme. Collisions are monitored as time progresses, and every time the collision energy is larger than the selected activation energy, a reactive event oc…
Analysis of salivary detection of P16INK4A and RASSF1A promoter gene methylation and its association with oral squamous cell carcinoma in a Colombian…
2019
Background Epigenetic factors play a fundamental role in the etiopathogenesis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). This study evaluated if salivary detection of P16INK4A/RASSF1A gene promoter methylation might be linked to the clinical/histological features of OSCC in a Colombian population. Material and Methods Methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP-PCR) was used to detect the methylation frequency of P16INK4A/RASSF1A genes in DNA obtained from whole saliva collected of 40 healthy controls (HC) and 43 OSCC patients. Determination of the clinical performance of MSP-PCR assay was based on standard algorithms derived from two-way contingency table analysis. The association of …
Social Representations of Flooding of Future Teachers of Primary Education (Social Sciences): A Geographical Approach in the Spanish Mediterranean Re…
2020
The risk of flooding is the main natural hazard that affects the European Mediterranean region. This hazard has worsened in recent decades due to the occupation of flood areas and the effects of climate change. Therefore, understanding and gaining a more in-depth knowledge of social representations of flooding is important. In addition, interest in this subject is accentuated in the case of future teachers. This is because it is mandatory to teach this subject in Primary Education (Grades 1&ndash
Projecting Exposure to Extreme Climate Impact Events Across Six Event Categories and Three Spatial Scales
2020
Summarization: The extent and impact of climate‐related extreme events depend on the underlying meteorological, hydrological, or climatological drivers as well as on human factors such as land use or population density. Here we quantify the pure effect of historical and future climate change on the exposure of land and population to extreme climate impact events using an unprecedentedly large ensemble of harmonized climate impact simulations from the Inter‐Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project phase 2b. Our results indicate that global warming has already more than doubled both the global land area and the global population annually exposed to all six categories of extreme events co…
Blood flow in the internal jugular veins during the spaceflight - Is it actually bidirectional?
2020
Recently intriguing results of the research performed on astronauts of the International Space Station have been published. Unexpectedly, in some crew members a stagnant and bidirectional flow in the internal jugular vein was found, and in one of the astronauts this vein seemed to be totally thrombosed. If it actually were the case that in the settings of weightlessness there is a substantial risk of jugular vein thrombosis, any long-term human space missions would be extremely dangerous. Yet, we interpret these findings differently. In our opinion, what has been explained as bidirectional flow, actually represented the flow separation, and what has been described as occluded vein was rathe…
Planktic foraminiferal changes in the western Mediterranean Anthropocene
2021
The increase in anthropogenic induced warming over the last two centuries is impacting marine environment. Planktic foraminifera are a globally distributed calcifying marine zooplankton responding sensitively to changes in sea surface temperatures and interacting with the food web structure. Here, we study two high resolution multicore records from two western Mediterranean Sea regions (Alboran and Balearic basins), areas highly affected by both natural climate change and anthropogenic warming. Cores cover the time interval from the Medieval Climate Anomaly to present. Reconstructed sea surface temperatures are in good agreement with other results, tracing temperature changes through the Co…
