Aprender a desobedecer, ¿una tarea necesaria para los futuros docentes?

Resumen En este trabajo analizamos el concepto de Educación para la desobediencia con el que acceden los estudiantes de Magisterio de la Universidad de Valladolid (UVa), España, a su formación inicial. De esta forma, pretendemos acercarnos a la percepción que tienen sobre el concepto los futuros docentes, encargados de la formación de las generaciones venideras. Una vez cursada la asignatura de Educación para la Paz y la Igualdad en el grado de Educación, en la que se forma a los estudiantes sobre los temas relacionados con la Educación para la desobediencia, valoramos si se produce un cambio en la concepción y actitudes sobre este tipo de educación. Para ello, llevamos a cabo un estudio de caso, durante diez cursos académicos, en el que empleamos 1.395 cuestionarios abiertos, seis entrevistas grupales a estudiantes, dos entrevistas individuales al profesorado y registros de observación no participante. Una vez llevado a cabo el estudio concluimos que existen graves carencias en la formación de los estudiantes sobre Educación para la desobediencia. Remarcamos la importancia de llevar a cabo este tipo de formación con los futuros docentes, ya que es una forma de que la solidaridad, la justicia y la transformación social se puedan globalizar a través de la educación y de actos pacíficos de desobediencia. Éste es un aspecto necesario para formar personas críticas con capacidad para transformar el mundo frente a las desigualdades e injusticias sociales.
Helping empower youth brought up in adversity with their babies and young children

Society’s greatest problems are our most compelling social science challenges. This project will develop the first known theoretical framework of resilience for adolescent parents and their children in Africa. In doing so, we will achieve three major advances in prevention science: We will synthesise quasi-experimental, data pooling and qualitative methods to identify protective pathways. We will create the global South’s first multi-country study of parenting support. And we will combine pioneering research with embedded stakeholder engagement, thus directly impacting international policy.

Globally, adolescent parenthood is a marker of intergenerational disadvantage. Africa has 11.4 million adolescent mothers and fathers, often arising from adversities such as abuse, poverty, HIV and orphanhood. In turn, their children are at risk for non-optimum development and poor health. Existing research has focused on pregnancy prevention, with little success. Whilst these efforts are important, no known studies investigate predictors of resilience for adolescent-parent families in African contexts. This marks a major evidence gap, and a compelling need.

We will use three linked methodologies. First, we will build a longitudinal study of 450 parent-child dyads living in severe adversity in South Africa. Through this, we can examine protective socio-economic, education and healthcare pathways. Second, we will create a six-country pooled dataset of parenting program studies, and test effectiveness across 8,000 participants regionally. Third, we will integrate citizen social science: participatory research with young families in adversity. A final policy-inclusive synthesis stage will ensure impact and benefit-sharing. 

This is an ambitious research agenda, with theoretical and methodological innovation. It requires the elucidation of complex behaviours in precarious environments. It presents risks, but with the potential for groundbreaking scientific and societal impact.

Economic impacts of projected 2000–2050 changes in ozone pollution
using the MIT Emissions Prediction and Policy Analysis (EPPA) model, in combination
with results from the GEOS-Chem global tropospheric chemistry model of climate and
chemistry effects of projected future emission have been assumed in our research.
Objective: We compare the costs of ozone pollution under scenarios with 2000 and 2050
ozone precursor and greenhouse gas emissions (using the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES) A1B scenario.
Results: We find that previous methodologies underestimate costs of air pollution by
more than a third because they do not take into account the long-term, compounding
effects of health costs. Conclusion: The economic effects of emissions changes far
exceed the influence of climate alone.
Color Change Kinetics of American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolium) Slices During Air Impingement Drying

The color change kinetics of American ginseng (Panax quinquefolium) slices were investigated in an air impingement dryer under different drying temperatures (35, 45, 55, and 65°C) using the CIE Lab color parameters (L*, a*, b*) as the assessment indicators. Results illustrated that all three color parameters (L*, a*, b*) increased with drying time. The L* value decreased with increasing drying temperature. However, a* and b* values increased with the increase in drying temperature. Furthermore, at the initial drying stage the change rate of L* increased significantly, while towards the end of drying it reduced significantly. As regards a*, it slowly changed at the initial and final drying stages rather than in the intermediate drying stage. In the case of b*, it increased with increasing drying time and drying temperature during the whole process. The zero-order, first-order, and fractional conversion models were fitted to the experimental data, and the model's parameters were determined using linear regr...
Deriving Crop Phenology Metrics and Their Trends Using Times Series NOAA-AVHRR NDVI Data

In this study, an attempt has been made to derive the spatial patterns of temporal trends in phenology metrics and productivity of crops grown, at disaggregated level in Indo-Gangetic Plains of India (IGP), which are helpful in understanding the impact of climatic, ecological and socio-economic drivers. The NOAA-AVHRR NDVI PAL dataset from 1981 to 2001 was stacked as per the crop year and subjected to Savitzky-Golay filtering. For crop pixels, maximum and minimum values of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), their time of occurrence and total duration of kharif (June-October) and rabi (November–April) crop seasons were derived for each crop year and later subjected to pixel-wise regression with time to derive the rate and direction of change. The maximum NDVI value showed increasing trends across IGP during both kharif and rabi seasons indicating a general increase in productivity of crops. The trends in time of occurrence of peak NDVI during kharif dominated with rice showed that the maximum vegetative growth stage was happening early with time during study period across most of Punjab, North Haryana, Parts of Central and East Uttar Pradesh and some parts of Bihar and West Bengal. Only central parts of Haryana showed a delay in occurrence of maximum vegetative stage with time. During rabi, no significant trends in occurrence of peak NDVI were observed in most of Punjab and Haryana except in South Punjab and North Haryana where early occurrence of peak NDVI with time was observed. Most parts of Central and Eastern Uttar Pradesh, North Bihar and West Bengal showed a delay in occurrence of peak NDVI with time. In general, the rice dominating system was showing an increase in duration with time in Punjab, Haryana, Western Uttar Pradesh, Central Uttar Pradesh and South Bihar whereas in some parts of North Bihar and West Bengal a decrease in the duration with time was also observed. During rabi season, except Punjab, the wheat dominating system was showing a decreasing trend in crop duration with time.

Liberação de potássio em latossolos tratados com resíduos orgânicos

The K release rate varies amongst organic residues and it is dependent on the humification degree, chemical composition, content and forms of K present in the analyzed organic material. This study was carried out in order to evaluate the potential and the K release of different organic residues incubated with sand and Latosol samples. The experiment was conducted at the Soil Science Department/Federal Uninersity of Lavras, from July 2007 to April 2008. The following organic residues/fertilizers were used: sewage sludge of industrial and residential origins, chicken manure, swine manure, quail manure, equine manure, bovine manure, garbage compost, commercial organic substratum, turf and organic compost. The treatments tested were: incubation of residues samples with sand washed with acid solution; incubation of organic residues with Yelow-Red Latossol samples; and with Red Latossol distroferric samples. Soil and sand/organic residues were incubated during 270 days in PVC columns. The K release was evaluated in intervals of 15 or 30 days, through the analysis of K in leachates inaflame fotometer. The process of K release is divided in two different phases: one of approximately thirty days, with intensive K release, and the other one, in the sequence, in a slower rate, with a tendency of reduction and stabilization of the amounts of K released. The organic residues/manures presented different patterns of K release, so that the manure of equine, quail manure, chicken manure and organic substratum liberated K in larger amount. The amounts of K released are regulated by the total and soluble contents of K in the organic material analyzed.
Efficient synthesis of a fluorine-18 labeled biotin derivative

The natural occurring vitamin biotin, also known as vitamin H or vitamin B(7), plays a major role in various metabolic reactions. Caused by its high binding affinity to the protein avidin with a dissociation constant of about 10(-15)M the biotin-avidin system was extensively examined for multiple applications. We have synthesized a fluorine-18 labeled biotin derivative [(18)F]4 for a potential application in positron emission tomography (PET).Mesylate precursor 3 was obtained by an efficient two-step reaction via a copper catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) from easily accessible starting materials. [(18)F]4 was successfully synthesized by a nucleophilic radiofluorination of precursor 3. A biodistribution study by means of small-animal PET imaging in wt-mice was performed and serum stability was examined.Compound [(18)F]4 was obtained from precursor compound 3 with an average specific activity of 16GBq/μmol within 45min and a radiochemical yield of 45±5% (decay corrected). [(18)F]4 demonstrated only negligible decomposition in human serum. A qualitative binding study revealed the high affinity of the synthesized biotin derivative to avidin. Blocking experiments with native biotin showed that binding was site-specific. Biodistribution studies showed that [(18)F]4 was cleared quickly and efficiently from the body by hepatobiliary and renal elimination.An efficient synthesis for [(18)F]4 was established. In vivo characteristics were determined and demonstrated the pharmacokinetic behaviour of [(18)F]4.
Direct temporal synthesis of terahertz light fields enabling novel computational imaging

The terahertz (THz) frequency range is widely considered as the most challenging and under-developed frequency range due to the lack of technologies to effectively bridge the transition region between microwaves (below 100 GHz) and optics (above 10,000 GHz). Although THz radiation would be perfect for material identification and as a safe alternative to X-rays for producing high resolution images of the interior of opaque objects, first a fundamentally new approach is needed to establish novel devices and techniques.

Rarely considered for its complexity, the so-called “light field” consists of all light rays in 3-D space, flowing through every point and in every direction. Thus a light field camera not only records color and brightness like a 2-D imaging sensor does, but also the direction/angle of all the light rays arriving at the sensor. The beauty of this spatio-directional information is that one can localize hidden objects and calculate their covered three-dimensional shape. So what’s the catch? For any practical means, the natural ambient THz radiation is by far too weak, and THz light-fields need to be created artificially. 

Here I propose an innovative pathway empowered by massively scaled THz source and detector arrays, which will bring forth the science of computational light-fields to THz 3-D see-through imaging. Starting with newfangled THz source-arrays, I create the missing temporal modulated light-fields directly at the source and investigate a diffraction inclusive THz light-field system theory, architecture and algorithms. This is combined with innovative THz integrated circuits to research real-time  THz light-field components. Although the far-reaching objectives incorporate a high risk due to the complexity of the approach connecting physical, computational, and optical sciences with engineering approaches, this is offset by the promise of major breakthroughs to create substantial value for both science and the global economy.

Printable perovskite solar cells with high efficiency and stable performance

The unique ability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) to harvest very efficiently incident solar radiation even with films of only a few hundred nm thickness that can be infiltrated by solution processing onto planar substrates and into screen printable scaffold structures provides strong and unprecedented innovation potential in photovoltaics. Demonstration of high power conversion efficiency at very low cost along with the requisite durability metrics will form a persuasive argument for large investments in this new technology. Drawing from concepts developed as well as the latest advancements and discoveries made under our MESOLIGHT project (ERC grant 247404), we shall employ novel designs to gain further advantages over competing technologies. Particularly, mixed A cation –X formulations will be used to in ABX3 perovskite formulations along with inorganic hole conductors such as lithium doped NiMgO designed and developed as part of MESOLIGHT task will be utilized in the construction of PSCs for testing under solar light conditions. We have recently reached a certified solar conversion efficiency of 21% under standard AM 1.5 solar illumination with small laboratory cells. This POC will focus on upscaling to industrial PSC architecture on the module level and demonstrate long term stability for large scale deployment.

Experimental Methods for Phase Equilibria at High Pressures

Knowledge of high-pressure phase equilibria is crucial in many fields, e.g., for the design and optimization of high-pressure chemical and separation processes, carbon capture and storage, hydrate formation, applications of ionic liquids, and geological processes. This review presents the variety of methods to measure phase equilibria at high pressures and, following a classification, discusses the measurement principles, advantages, challenges, and error sources. Examples of application areas are given. A detailed knowledge and understanding of the different methods is fundamental not only for choosing the most suitable method for a certain task but also for the evaluation of experimental data. The discrepancy between the (sometimes low) true accuracy of published experimental data and the (high) accuracy claimed by authors is addressed. Some essential requirements for the generation of valuable experimental results are summarized.
Residential-Source Emission Inventory for the Niger Delta - A Methodological Approach

This paper describes the methods applied to construct a GIS-based emission inventory infrastructure for specific air pollutants and greenhouse gases released from domestic cooking and lighting in the Niger Delta using publicly accessible data. The purpose is to identify and enhance knowledge of existing data gaps in order to progress the development of appropriate mechanisms to collect data in formats required for more accurate emission estimation. The major data gaps identified, which are demographic, activity-based, emission factors and spatial distribution of sources, are consistent across the majority of developing countries. Consequently, the methodological approach focuses on the use of a series of assumptions, emission factors from regions similar to the Niger Delta, and population estimation techniques to generate input data to support the limited publicly available government and research-based data. Developing countries with similar data limitations will benefit from the transferrable methodology. The infrastructure, which is constructed at 10 km-grid resolutions, produced total emission estimates of 70 kt/yr CO, 50 kt/yr NOx, 3 kt/yr PM10, 2.4 kt/yr SO2, 60 t/yr VOC, 5.7 mt/yr CO2 and 2 kt/yr CH4. Domestic lighting using generators and domestic cooking using firewood and kerosene constitute sources of significant emissions of air pollutants in the region. Due to the limited accuracy and completeness of currently available data, the estimates generated have high uncertainties.

Intelligent wireless sensor networks for asset integrity monitoring

The objective of I-WSN is to develop a low-cost and large-scale solution for automated Condition Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance that will have a disruptive impact on the offshore Operations and Maintenance market. The solution is based on intelligent Wireless Sensor Networks that monitor the long-term trend in the status of the equipment and can predict damages at an early stage. The focus market segments for direct application of I-WSN are offshore Oil & Gas and Wind Energy. We have already received significant interest from potential business partners in this market segment, ranging from global suppliers (Honeywell), to maintenance providers and even Oil & Gas giants (BP).

Unlike existing condition monitoring systems, which are very complex and expensive, I-WSN focuses on a low-cost solution (target price €500/unit) that can be installed on a large number of devices, machinery, equipment and structures. This brings significant benefits to the end-users, such as:
- Up to 75% cost reduction of maintenance operations: extension of maintenance intervals, reduction of workload of maintenance personnel.
- Up to 90% cost reduction of installation of monitoring equipment: wireless sensors compared to traditional wired systems.
- Real-time feedback and continuous monitoring within minutes, as opposed to weeks or months for time-based inspection.

I-WSN will build upon the success story of the FP7 project WiBRATE, showcased in two FUTURIS episodes on EURONEWS in 2014. The WiBRATE wireless sensor platform will be used as the basis, since it has been already validated in industrial settings (at FIAT, Honeywell, LMS-SIEMENS). I-WSN thus starts from TRL6 and higher, and has the potential for Open Disruptive Innovation in an offshore Operations & Maintenance market estimated at €2-3 billion. 

Phase 1 of the SME instrument has the objective to check the economic, technical and operational feasibility, and to bring us closer to marketing a successful product.
