Whom to Follow? A Comparison of Walking Routes Computed Based on Social Media Photos from Different Types of Contributors
Authors: Mor Matan , Oehrlein Johannes , Haunert Jan-Henrik , Dalyot Sagi
Published: July 2020

Abstract. Since many tourists share the photos they take on social media channels, large collections of tourist attraction photos are easily accessible online. Recent research has dealt with identifying popular places from these photos, as well as computing city tourism routes based on these photo collections. Although current approaches show great potential, many tourism attractions suffer from being overrun by tourists, not least because many tourists are aware of only a few tourism hot spots that are trending. In the worst case, automatic city route recommendations based on social media photos will intensify this issue and disappoint tourists who seek individual experiences. In the best case, however, if individual preferences are appropriately incorporated into the route planning algorithm, more personalized route recommendations will be achieved. In this paper, we suggest distinguishing two different types of photo contributors, namely: first-time visitors who are usually tourists who "follow the crowd" (e.g., to visit the top tourist attractions), and repeated visitors who are usually locals who "don’t follow the crowd" (e.g., to visit photogenic yet less well-known places). This categorization allows the user to decide how to trade the one objective off against the other. We present a novel method based on a classification of photographers into locals and tourists, and show how to incorporate this information into an algorithmic routing framework based on the Orienteering Problem approach. In detailed experiments we analyze how choosing the parameter that models the trade-off between both objectives influences the optimal route found by the algorithm, designed to serve the user’s travel objective and preferences in terms of visited attraction types.
Creation of a Model for Estimating the Home-return Rate of Evacuees Using Mobile Phone Movement Histories and Its Application to the Nankai Trough Earthquake
Authors: Ogawa Yoshiki , Sato Taisei , Sekimoto Yoshihide
Published: July 2020

Abstract. Considering the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, by utilizing GPS based large-scale people flow data, we developed a home-return model considering city variables that can estimate the rate of people who will have returned home on any number of days after an earthquake tsunami disaster. We obtained high accuracy with the sparse logit model in this study. The model can be applied in estimating a disaster only by using grid-based city variables of GIS data and existing damage estimation models. In addition, we used the model in the case of the Nankai Trough megathrust earthquake and simulated the transition of post-disaster home-return ratio. The estimation result can help local governments plan the management of evacuation centers in terms of the management of supplies and goods for disasters. The study could help a new understanding of the quantitative relationship between people returning home after evacuation and city variables with regard to earthquake and tsunami hazards based on spatial information science.
Tracking Hurricane Dorian in GDELT and Twitter
Authors: Owuor Innocensia , Hochmair Hartwig H. , Cvetojevic Sreten
Published: July 2020

Abstract. GDELT is a machine coded database of events that uses both foreign and domestic news feeds and contains over a quarter of a billion worldwide event records categorized into three hundred categories. This paper compares the spatial footprint of GDELT event mentions with those of event related geo-tagged tweets for Hurricane Dorian in the South-Eastern United States. Besides examining event related GDELT and Twitter data abundance, the study relates areas of elevated GDELT news and tweeting activities to the locations of the hurricane track over a six-day period, and statistically analyzes distances between daily GDELT event mentions and tweets, and the hurricane center on different days. It assesses the potential role of the geographic coverage of the cone in hurricane prediction maps on the level of event related news and tweeting activities. The study also discusses pros and cons of both data sources for event tracking with regards to data abundance, spatial and temporal resolution, and thematic accuracy.
Analysis and mapping of crime perception: A quantitative approach of sketch maps
Authors: Vallejo Velazquez Mariana , Kounadi Ourania , Podor Andrea
Published: July 2020

Abstract. Evidence exists that people’s perception of crime is not often consistent with the actual incidents statistics, and there is a tendency of underestimating or overestimating safety. We examine a phenomenon called the crime perception gap via participatory geographical information derived from sketch maps. The study area is Budapest, Hungary for which data were collected via a participatory platform in 2017 on the perception of safe and unsafe places. The methodology consisted of three stages; exploratory modeling, the spatial delineation of the gap, and the spatial exploration of inaccurate perceptions in relation to their surrounding environment. In stage one, we found that the variable with the highest impact on perception is the daily route. The further away a place is to personal routes the more likely it is to be perceived as unsafe. In the second stage, we computed and mapped the perceptual accuracy. The overall perceptual accuracy was as low as 39%, while many safe places were wrongly perceived as unsafe (also unsafe ones as safe). In the third stage, we identified that significant spatial patterns seem to have a diffusion effect on people’s perception. For example, a safe place could be perceived as unsafe because the neighboring places are crime hotspots (and vice versa). We argue that misperception of crime can have repercussions on peoples’ lifestyles, affect social behavior and spatial and economic dynamics. Thus, spatial analysis and mapping can be used to support police agencies in the development of strategies to reduce the misperception of crime.
A new optical-based technique for real-time measurements of mineral dust concentration in PM10 using a virtual impactor

Abstract. Atmospheric mineral dust influences Earth's radiative budget, cloud formation, and lifetime; has adverse health effects; and affects
air quality through the increase of regulatory PM10 concentrations,
making its real-time quantification in the atmosphere of strategic importance. Only few
near-real-time techniques can discriminate dust aerosol in PM10 samples
and they are based on the dust chemical composition. The online
determination of mineral dust using aerosol absorption photometers offers an
interesting and competitive alternative but remains a difficult task to
achieve. This is particularly challenging when dust is mixed with black
carbon, which features a much higher mass absorption cross section. We build
on previous work using filter photometers and present here for the first
time a highly time-resolved online technique for quantification of mineral
dust concentration by coupling a high-flow virtual impactor (VI) sampler
that concentrates coarse particles with an aerosol absorption photometer
(Aethalometer, model AE33). The absorption of concentrated dust particles is
obtained by subtracting the absorption of the submicron (PM1) aerosol
fraction from the absorption of the virtual impactor sample (VI-PM1 method).
This real-time method for detecting desert dust was tested in the field for
a period of 2 months (April and May 2016) at a regional background site of
Cyprus, in the Eastern Mediterranean. Several intense desert mineral dust
events were observed during the field campaign with dust concentration in
PM10 up to 45 µg m−3. Mineral dust was present most of the time
during the campaign with an average PM10 of about 8 µg m−3.
Mineral dust absorption was most prominent at short wavelengths, yielding an
average mass absorption cross section (MAC) of
0.24±0.01 m2 g−1 at 370 nm and an absorption Ångström exponent of 1.41±0.29. This MAC value can be used as a site-specific parameter for online
determination of mineral dust concentration. The uncertainty of the proposed
method is discussed by comparing and validating it with different methods.

Abstract. Measurements of the mass concentration and chemical speciation of aerosols are important to investigate their chemical and physical processing from near emission sources to the most remote regions of the atmosphere. A common method to analyze aerosols is to collect them onto filters and to analyze filters off-line; however, biases in some chemical components are possible due to changes in the accumulated particles during the handling of the samples. Any biases would impact the measured chemical composition, which in turn affects our understanding of numerous physico-chemical processes and aerosol radiative properties. We show, using filters collected onboard the NASA DC-8 and NSF C-130 during six different aircraft campaigns, a consistent, substantial difference in ammonium mass concentration and ammonium-to-anion ratios, when comparing the aerosols collected on filters versus the Aerodyne Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS). Another on-line measurement is consistent with the AMS in showing that the aerosol has lower ammonium-to-anion ratios than obtained by the filters. Using a gas uptake model with literature values for accommodation coefficients, we show that for ambient ammonia mixing ratios greater than 10 ppbv, the time scale for ammonia reacting with acidic aerosol on filter substrates is less than 30 s (typical filter handling time in the aircraft) for typical aerosol volume distributions. Measurements of gas-phase ammonia inside the cabin of the DC-8 show ammonia mixing ratios of 45 ± 20 ppbv, consistent with mixing ratios observed in other indoor environments. This analysis enables guidelines for filter handling to reduce ammonia uptake. Finally, a more meaningful limit-of-detection for filters that either do not have an ammonia scrubber and/or are handled in the presence of human emissions is ∼0.2 μg m−3 ammonium, which is substantially higher than the limit-of-detection of the ion chromatography.
Combining resistivity and frequency domain electromagnetic methods to investigate submarine groundwater discharge in the littoral zone
Authors: Paepen Marieke , Hanssens Daan , De Smedt Philippe , Walraevens Kristine , Hermans Thomas
Published: July 2020

Abstract. Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is an important gateway for nutrients and pollutants from land to sea. While understanding SGD is crucial for managing nearshore ecosystems and coastal freshwater reserves, studying this discharge is complicated by its occurrence at the limit between land and sea, a dynamic environment. This practical difficulty is exacerbated by the significant spatial and temporal variability. Therefore, to capture the magnitude of SGD, a variety of techniques and measurements, applied over multiple periods, is needed. Here, we combine several geophysical methods to detect zones of fresh submarine groundwater discharge (FSGD) in the intertidal zone, upper beach, dunes, and shallow coastal area. Both terrestrial electrical-resistivity tomography (ERT; roll-along) and marine continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) are used from the shallow continental shelf up to the dunes and combined with frequency domain electromagnetic (FDEM) mapping in the intertidal zone. In particular, we apply an estimation of robust apparent electrical conductivity (rECa) from FDEM
data to provide reliable lateral and vertical discrimination of FSGD zones. The study area is a very dynamic environment along the North Sea,
characterized by semi-diurnal tides between 3 and 5 m. CRP is usually
applied in calmer conditions, but we prove that such surveys are possible
and provide additional information to primarily land-bound ERT surveying.
The 2D inversion models created from ERT and CRP data clearly indicate the
presence of FSGD on the lower beach or below the low-water line. This
discharge originates from a potable freshwater lens below the dunes and
flows underneath a thick saltwater lens, present from the dunes to the lower sandy beach, which is fully observed with ERT. Freshwater outflow intensity has increased since 1980, due to a decrease of groundwater pumping in the dunes. FDEM mapping at two different times reveals discharge at the same locations, clearly displays the lateral variation of the zone of discharge, and suggests that FSGD is stronger at the end of winter compared to the beginning of autumn. ERT, CRP, and FDEM are complementary tools in the investigation of SGD. They provide a high-resolution 3D image of the saltwater and freshwater distribution in the phreatic coastal aquifer over a relatively large area, both off- and onshore.

Published: July 2020

Abstract. Nowadays traffic problem has become a major dilemma due to the expansion of urbanization and the development of transportation. Traffic itself is the result of various factors, which can have an impact on the environment, and it has also destructive effects on human living. Finding a suitable method to reduce the negative effect of traffic has always been the subject of research in this area. Accordingly, there are different algorithms management and administrative procedures for solving this problem.In this research, a web-based platform is designed using artificial intelligence algorithms, which predicts traffic information in different intervals along with online collecting traffic data. This feature allows the user to instantly view future information of urban traffic. On the other hand, in the proposed model, the transport network edges are determined based on traffic prediction algorithms, which makes route finding closer to reality.The model is implemented on the 7th and 8th districts of Tehran. The algorithm has been applied to more than 100 cases and the results have been compared with existing algorithms. The results of this comparison show that in addition to higher precision, the proposed platform is averagely 10 minutes faster than similar programs.
Book Review: The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace
Authors: Morris Jamie
Published: July 2020

The 5 Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace by Gary Chapman and Paul White (2012) is based on The 5 Love Languages by Chapman and research conducted by White into the relationships of co-workers and company environment. The book provides an understanding of the appreciation needs of others and offers practical actions that anyone can use in their workplace to demonstrate gratitude and potentially improve morale, connectedness, and engagement. The knowledge and suggestions provided in this book are transferable to volunteers, especially when they are an integral part of the workplace. In fact, incorporating appreciation into volunteer interactions recognizes their contributions, demonstrates their impact and may help to retain them as well.
All Hands on Deck: Building a Sustainable Volunteer Program
Authors: Restler Susan , Glant Lauren
Published: July 2020

Youth-serving organizations that engage volunteers offer them varied roles. In volunteer-dependent organizations, volunteers are the vital backbone of service delivery, without whom the organization would be hard-pressed to exist. At the other end of the spectrum are organizations whose paid staff provide all services and whose volunteers play episodic, narrowcast roles. Sitting in between are those organizations where volunteers provide added value to the work of paid staff, expanding services to youth that the organization may not otherwise afford. The volunteer value-add model is as challenging as it is appealing. It often frustrates and disappoints both the organization and the volunteers, not surprisingly because it requires time and attention to design and support well. In this article we examine why value-add programs so often fail and look at the critical elements of the volunteer value-add model. We describe one program, READ718, whose design exemplifies the key dimensions that value-add organizations need to consider and adapt if their programs are to meet the needs of staff, volunteers and especially youth. Because there is some risk to youth in poorly designed and inadequately supported volunteer programs, as well as ramifications for organizational reputation, we feel that greater clarity about what it takes to mount a robust initiative is vital and worthwhile, even if the result is that some organizations reflect and elect to abandon this path.
Determinants of Motivation for Mentoring Among Adults Volunteering to Mentor Youth
Authors: Miranda-Díaz Miriam , Clark-Shim Hyuny , Keller Thomas E. , Spencer Renée
Published: July 2020

Most youth mentoring programs rely on volunteers to serve as mentors to youth. This study investigates factors associated with motivations for volunteering in this capacity, specifically altruistic and self-oriented reasons for becoming a mentor. Because adults who volunteer as mentors and youth mentees typically come from different socio-cultural backgrounds, the study examines demographic characteristics associated with these different motivations. In addition, the study addresses the empathy-altruism hypothesis suggesting that individuals with higher levels of empathy exhibit greater altruistic tendencies. For this analysis, the focus is on ethnocultural empathy and its association with volunteer motivations. The sample consisted of 1,000 volunteers who applied to mentor in 4 agencies affiliated with a national mentoring organization. The results indicated that mentors reporting higher levels of ethnocultural empathy were more likely to endorse altruistic motivations for volunteering. Younger volunteers, female volunteers, and volunteers of color reported higher levels of self-oriented motivations for volunteering. Female mentors, in general, reported higher levels of altruistic motivations for volunteering. Altruism and empathy, particularly the ability to connect with youth across cultural differences, are considered important mentor attributes conducive to healthy mentoring relationships. The implications of these findings for research and practice are discussed.
Supporting Volunteerism in Youth Development Programs: Progress and Prospects for Advancing the Knowledge Base
Authors: DuBois David L.
Published: July 2020

Volunteers are essential to the viability of a large segment of youth development programs. Yet, research on this topic has been relatively limited and it has not thus far congealed into a cohesive area of study. The contributions to this special issue advance our understanding of a number of important issues having to do with volunteerism in youth programs and provide a solid foundation for catalyzing both the further generation of knowledge in this area and its practical application. One priority should be to more rigorously establish and delineate suggested connections among program practices, volunteer skill development, behaviors, and experiences, and the outcomes of participating youth. There also is a need to substantially broaden the scope of programs studied in order to clarify both areas of generalizability and dynamics that may vary as a function of volunteer contexts and roles. Finally, as the knowledge base matures, translational research is needed to apply this knowledge to the design of supports for volunteerism in youth development programs and to rigorously evaluate the effectiveness of these strategies.
La violencia de género en Marruecos: una aproximación a la realidad social y al debate ideológico
Authors: Pérez Beltrán Carmelo
Published: July 2020

Este artículo tiene un doble objetivo: en primer lugar, indagar en la prevalencia de la violencia de género en Marruecos y en las estrategias de la acción gubernamental contra este tipo de violencia desde los años 80 del siglo XX hasta la actualidad. En segundo lugar, y retomando algunos referentes teóricos de la subalternidad, analizar las principales tendencias del debate que existen en Marruecos en torno a este tema. Basando la metodología en el análisis de datos estadísticos oficiales y de fuentes secundarias, se incide en el aumento significativo de la violencia contra las mujeres a lo largo de los últimos años y en los factores que la caracterizan. Entre otras aportaciones, este estudio pone en evidencia que Marruecos no solamente se inició tarde en la lucha contra la violencia de género, sino que denota una falta de voluntad política para ejecutar de forma eficaz las diferentes estrategias de acción y los compromisos internacionalmente adquiridos. En cuanto a las tendencias del debate, dos son las preponderantes, de tal forma que la sociedad civil más comprometida con la violencia de género reclama espacios de laicidad en el marco de los referentes universales más vanguardistas, mientras que el modelo islamo-islamista, en el que se ubica el gobierno de Marruecos desde el acceso al poder del Partido de la Justicia y el Desarrollo (PJD) en 2012, propone una interpretación/adaptación de ciertas especificidades culturales, históricas y nacionales, impregnadas de valores religiosos.

Authors: Abdullah Alhebshi Amal , Saeed Halabi Maha
Published: July 2020

Technology is being used in teaching environments to engage students and teachers effectively in the classroom context and building their interest to explore the versatile phenomenon of learning. Digital game-based learning has become a new learning experience that enhances students’ and teachers’ motivation to achieve competencies. The present research explores the perceptions of teachers and students about digital game-based learning in ESL classrooms. The researcher draws on the relevant literature to demonstrate and support the study's findings. The research is investigated quantitatively by administering a questionnaire to measure the perspectives of ESL teachers and the foundation-year students at King Abdulaziz University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The quantitative data gathered from students and teachers were analyzed through SPSS software. The findings indicate that a significant number of respondents prefer using technological devices for better outcomes in the teaching and learning process. It also shows that using digital games had positive impact in relation to three main variables; engagement with learning and teaching, acceptance of DGBL and the effects of DGBL to learn the English language. This also helps participants to gain learning experience in their environment at any time and from anywhere.

El pensamiento complejo como propedéutico para la transgestión de los saberes matemáticos
Authors: Rodríguez Milagros Elena
Published: July 2020

La transgestión de los saberes matemáticos atiende a una subversión transparadigmática, en un proceso inclusivo donde los saberes matemáticos circunscriben los conocimientos científicos de la matemática; pero también los saberes matemáticos soterrados; los de los grupos étnicos, la Etnomatemática, de la cotidianidad; esto es el patrimonio cultural matemático. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo analizar el pensamiento complejo como propedéutico de la transgestión de los saberes matemáticos usando el enfoque hermenéutico comprensivo en los tres momentos planteados en Santos (2003), en los tiempos: el analítico, el empírico y el propositivo. Concluyéndose, que en los saberes matemáticos la información transmitida no capta todo el significado de la matemática en la cotidianidad y cultura de los grupos étnicos; debe romperse el cerco en las construcciones matemáticas de la objetividad determinada del científico y explorar los saberes matemáticos en los grupos étnicos es una tentativa virgen para comenzar en las indagaciones de riqueza inconmensurable por crear en la descolonización de ellos, esto es urgente e implica ampliar la comprensión de dichos saberes. Los saberes patrimoniales entrañan en sí mismo la complejidad, y pueden ser transgestionados y salvaguardados, su transgestión consciente a un docente que atiende a una formación transcompleja de la matemática formado no sólo para el saber eficaz sino en la inteligencia integral: analítica, sistémica, sensible, corporal y profundamente humana.

Published: July 2020

El trabajo en hospitales o centros de salud ha sido considerado como una fuente estresante, porque implica estar continuamente en contacto con el dolor y a menudo con la muerte. Las cargas de trabajo, las jornadas laborales extensas y el ambiente laboral, son factores que contribuyen en el estado anímico de los colaboradores del Centro de Salud Adán Barillas Huete del municipio de Juigalpa, departamento de Chontales. El propósito es determinar el estrés laboral y su relación con las condiciones laborales de los colaboradores durante el año 2019. El tipo de investigación desarrollada fue concluyente explicativa, de naturaleza mixta, con un muestreo probabilístico estratificado conformado por 20 colaboradores, para lo cual se utilizaron la entrevista y encuesta. Los resultados evidencian que el 55% siempre y casi siempre han experimentado estrés y 45% algunas veces, Los síntomas del estrés en un 95% son de índole fisiológica siendo la jaqueca y dolores de cabeza el principal síntoma, condiciones labores como la limpieza del área, iluminación y el ruido no son causas para el estrés laboral. Concluyendo que con los resultados de la aplicación de la técnica del Chi cuadrado de Pearson se respalda la aceptación de la hipótesis nula, reafirmando que las condiciones laborales no influyen en el estrés laboral de los colaboradores, dado que el resultado de cada asíntota bilateral fue mayor a 0.05.

Factores cognitivos que influyen en la adquisición del español como segunda lengua
Authors: Murillo Reyes Henry Alexander
Published: July 2020

En las últimas décadas uno de los campos más fructíferos dentro de la investigación educativa en el campo de ELE ha sido la búsqueda incansable de los principales "factores asociados al aprendizaje de segunda lengua, en especial del español como Lengua Extranjera". Desde diferentes perspectivas teóricas y áreas del conocimiento se ha intentado conocer las variables que inciden en los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje relacionadas con ELE, cuál es su importancia relativa y cómo podrían ser mejoradas y de esa manera lograr un mejor y mayor aprendizaje. Uno de esos factores que han sido objeto de estudio son los denominados factores cognitivos que, según los teóricos están intrínsecamente relacionados con los afectivos, puesto que ambos el aula de lengua puede contribuir a educar a los alumnos a vivir de forma más satisfactoria y a ser miembros responsables de la sociedad. Los cognitivos, no actúan por separado, sino que interactúan entre ellos. Por ejemplo, la inteligencia, juega un papel preponderante frente a la aptitud, el estilo cognitivo, metacognición, puesto que de ella depende, en gran manera, que haya una   familiaridad con las palabras y, al mismo tiempo, la capacidad de razonar analíticamente sobre las situaciones del contexto educativo que surgen como resultado de las variables contextuales o de la aplicación de un método de enseñanza. De ahí que estos factores son determinantes en el proceso de enseñanza de ELE, puesto que las estrategias de aprendizaje tienen el elemento en las que el alumno participa activamente y está implicado en el aprendizaje.
Importancia de la Educación para la Salud en currículo educativo

Published: July 2020

La salud es un derecho fundamental y un recurso en la vida diaria integral y biopsicosocial del ser humano. Por lo tanto, debemos educarnos en salud porque por medio de la educación se promueve la salud mediante el compromiso de llevar una vida plena. La educación para la salud une dos ámbitos: la educación y la salud, porque consideramos que no puede haber educación sin salud, ni salud sin educación. Es necesario que la Educación para la salud debe legislarse e incluirse en los diferentes niveles de enseñanza ya que estos son lugares propicios para la implementación y la promoción de la salud, más aún, en el nivel universitario donde se pueden fortalecer hábitos y estilos de vida saludable individual y colectiva. Para esto el profesorado debe ser capacitado para fortalecer los conocimientos teóricos y metodológicos. Educar para la salud es una estrategia útil para la promoción de la salud ya que es un proceso de aprendizaje que informa, motiva y ayuda a la población y que tiene como meta, la adecuación del comportamiento humano y los estilos de vida para mantener y mejorar la salud. Etimológicamente Educación para la Salud, presenta diferentes connotaciones, en 1975, se definía como hábitos saludables a la población, para adquirir conocimientos, modificar sus conductas, realizar cambios en el ambiente, mejorar los estilos de vida, y capacitar, responsabilizando a la propia comunidad. Por lo que debe convertirse a la Educación Superior en un eje transversal, propicio en asignaturas: Seminario de Formación Integral, psicología y sociología.
Mycorrhiza Enhanced Protein and Lipid Contents of Potatoes Grown on Inceptisol with Addition of Organic Matter
Authors: Nurbaity Anne , Uratel Glenn Christopher , Hamdani Jajang Sauman
Published: July 2020

Enhancement of productivity of potato plants grown on poor-P soil such as Inceptisols due to application of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) has been acknowledged. However, whether this AMF improved the quality of potato tubers is still need further investigation. This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of AMF in enhancing potato quality and determine whether the addition of compost and biochar to soil can support the productivity of this biofertilizer in enhancing the nutrient content in the tubers of potato plant. Screen house experiment was set up in factorial design with treatments were organic matter types (compost and compost plus biochar), and application of arbuscular mycorrhiza (without and with AMF consisted of Glomus sp. and Gigaspora sp.). Results of experiment showed that there was no interaction effect between organic matter and AMF on quality of potato tubers, however, the individual treatment especially AMF  increased the content of protein and lipid of potato tubers. Biochar that added to soil with compost was also increased the lipid content of potato tubers. This finding showed that AMF application in potato production grown in poor P-soil was not only increased the yield of potato, but also increased the quality of potato tubers.
Student Perceptions on Blended/Flipped and Traditional Face-to-Face: A Course Redesign Assessment
Authors: Luna Yvonne M. , Winters Stephanie A.
Published: July 2020

The blended and flipped class is often considered the most student-centered type of learning as it promotes deep and life-long learning. Using qualitative and quantitative data from anonymous surveys completed by students in two different introductory classes, one blended and flipped (N=56) and the other traditional lecture (N=74) taught by the first author during the same semester, this study reveals active learning in the blended and flipped class contributes to those students’: 1) positive perceptions of usefulness of course material; 2) perceptions of more time spent on their class; and 3) preference for blended and flipped learning. These findings provide for a deeper understanding of the results of an earlier study with these same cohorts where the blended and flipped learning outperformed the traditional face-to-face students on a pre-posttest. It also provides insight into the usefulness of blended learning and can help assuage fears that students are short changed when they don’t have face-to-face instruction. This article closes with suggestions for instructors wishing to pursue a flipped and blended classroom model.

Spanish Trade Unions and European Integration: From the Democratic Transition to the Treaty of Maastricht (1973-1992)
Authors: PEREZ Sigfrido RAMIREZ
Published: July 2020

The contribution of Spanish trade unions to the process of transition and consolidation of the Spanish democracy has been very much underestimated. The dominating historiographical interpretation has considered them as simple transmission belt of political parties. This general view has been extended to their role in the process of the adhesion of Spain to the European Economic Communities. In reality, Spanish trade unions had been Europeanised very early by their links to the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC). This article explores the adhesion process to the ETUC, showing the progressive convergence between trade unions in the field of European integration, which started with the adhesion of Spain to the EEC from 1977 to 1985 and continued in their position towards the Treaty of Maastricht in 1992. The paper concludes that there has been a programmatic and strategic autonomy of Spanish trade unions from political parties in their agenda for European integration.
La Déclaration de Chivasso. Un exemple de projet fédéral infra et supranational
Authors: TORTORELLA Francesca
Published: July 2020

During Second World War, Italian resistance fighters from the Aosta Valley and the Vaudois valleys meet in Chivasso to think about an international system for the post- war era. They defend a republican and democratic political system, and, far from micro-nationalism, they are the bearers of a federal project which combines the autonomist instances, specific to these linguistic and religious minorities, with a vision of European unity. The result is the drafting of one of the most Europeanist documents of the Resistance in Europe: the Declaration of the representatives of the Alpine populations signed on the 19th of December 1943. This article intends to study and contextualize this document, whose minority nature does not remove its importance within the framework of a Europe still today interested in matters of minorities as well as borders and by autonomist and independence movements.
Calidolipeurus, new genus for Lipeurus megalops Piaget, 1880 (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera: Oxylipeurus-complex), with a redescription of the type species and a preliminary key to the Oxylipeurus-complex

The chewing louse species Lipeurus megalops Piaget, 1880, is redescribed and illustrated. This species has previously been placed in the genus Oxylipeurus Mjöberg, 1910, but marked differences in preantennal structure, male and female genitalia, abdominal chaetotaxy, and structure of abdominal plates indicate that this species is not closely related to other species in this genus. We therefore erect a new genus, Calidolipeurus gen. nov. for this species. Calidolipeurus is presently monotypic, containing only Calidolipeurus megalops gen. et comb. nov. We also provide a preliminary key to the Oxylipeurus-complex.
El papel del neuropsicólogo

Published: July 2020

Neuropsicology is the scientific discipline that studies the ties between the cognitive processes, emotions and their substrate in the central nervous system. The high prevalence of the neurological disorders (i.e. acquired brain damage, dementias, developmental impairments, etc.) does that the presence of the neuropsychologists in different welfare resources has been increased in the last few years. Among its main functions they are the one to evaluate patients and to design and to carry out programs of neuropsicological rehabilitation. Moreover, the neuropsychologist as a researcher receives a great importance, specially in a multidisciplinary context. In the present work some of these functions are reviewed.

Manuel García-Pelayo y la emergencia del Ius Commune Europeo
Authors: Jimena Quesada Luis
Published: July 2020

El legado científico del Profesor García Pelayo sigue constituyendo uno de las más preciosas fuentes para la comprensión del constitucionalismo europeo de nuestros días. En efecto, la aproximación al pensamiento constitucional de García Pelayo nos brinda la oportunidad de reflexionar de manera más sólida y profunda sobre el proceso de constitucionalización de Europa. El bagaje constitucional de García Pelayo evoca que Europa (la de los derechos humanos y la de las instituciones) se construye sobre la base de valores constitucionales compartidos
En búsqueda del ADN y las influencias en algunos sistemas presidenciales y parlamentarios
Authors: Carpizo Jorge
Published: July 2020

El trabajo examina las recíprocas influencias entre las Constituciones de seis países: tres con sistema presidencial, dos con sistema parlamentario y uno con sistema semipresidencial. Los tres últimos pertenecen a Europa. Los sistemas presidenciales de América Latina se inspiraron en la Constitución Americana, tanto como en alguna europea, especialmente la española de 1812. Los enormes poderes presidenciales en América Latina llevaron a introducir en el sistema presidencial controles propios del sistema parlamentario
La libertad de creación y producción científica : especial referencia a la ley de investigación biomédica
Authors: Gómez Sanchez Yolanda
Published: July 2020

No hay en la Constitución española una referencia directa y explícita a la investigación biomédica ni encontramos tampoco en el Texto Fundamental referencias a otros problemas derivados de estas nuevas tecnologías. Sí contiene la Constitución, sin embargo, referencias directas a la investigación en general (arts. 44.2, 148.1.17 y 149.1.15); y ha reconocido, como derecho fundamental, la producción y creación científica en el artículo 20.1b). En este artículo se defiende que la libertad de investigación forma parte del contenido esencial del derecho fundamental a la producción y creación científica. Se analizan también los principios que integra la Ley de Investigación Biomédica y se cuestiona la ausencia en esta Ley de referencias explícitas al dereco a la libertad y a la igualdad
