Facilitando la autorregulación del aprendizaje en el diseño de sistemas digitales
Authors: De Andrés Martínez David
Published: September 2019

El paradigma al que el alumnado está acostumbrado para el desarrollo de software cambia completamente cuando debe enfrentarse al reto de especificar e implementar sistemas digitales (hardware). Este cambio de concepción y forma de abordar problemas prácticos en este contexto puede representar un escollo importante para el alumnado, especialmente cuando no dispone de herramientas que faciliten la autorregulación de su proceso cognitivo. Esta comunicación presenta una adaptación al contexto del diseño de sistemas digitales del modelo de aprendizaje autorregulado de Winne y Hadwin, basado en la monitorización continua y el control del propio proceso de aprendizaje. El uso de técnicas de andamiaje y apunte son esenciales para facilitar el desarrollo de estrategias de autorregulación. Se presenta la planificación realizada, su despliegue inicial y los resultados parciales obtenidos hasta la fecha.

Authors: Dugnol Menéndez Julia , Fernández Méndez Mª Isabel , Pérez Suárez Juliana , Ruiz Fernández Mª Luisa
Published: September 2019

El propósito de este estudio es crear una herramienta de aprendizaje que facilite el trabajo en equipo y mejore la capacidad de aprendizaje y la autonomía de los estudiantes. Se elaboraron dos cuadernos prácticos de Anatomía Humana centrados en aparato locomotor y sistema nervioso para Terapia Ocupacional, dado que carece de texto específico en la literatura científica actual. El alumnado los completó durante las prácticas de la asignatura. Una vez consideraban haber adquiridos los conocimientos, realizaban un cuestionario online. Si superaban la calificación de 5, podrían acceder al solucionario del cuaderno. Todo el material se encontraba alojado en la plataforma virtual de la facultad (moodle). La asignatura fue evaluada, además, con dos pruebas gamificadas. Como indicadores, se valoraron las calificaciones obtenidas, el examen práctico basado en la gamificación y la satisfacción del alumnado.
El Derecho en la prensa escrita. Una propuesta metodológica para el aprendizaje
Authors: Pons Estel Catalina , González Sánchez Marcos
Published: September 2019

En este proyecto los alumnos han realizado unas fichas a partir de las noticias que trataban sobre las materias objeto de estudio del Grado en Derecho publicadas en la prensa escrita. Para ello han enmarcado jurídicamente la información periodística y la han analizado y sistematizado, completándola con la jurisprudencia nacional e internacional más reciente. De este modo, hemos conseguido que el alumnado domine a fondo los temas trabajados y, además, tenemos un material escrito muy útil que nos sirve de apoyo en las clases.

Authors: Olaso-González Gloria , Serna García Eva , Romá-Mateo Carlos , Gambini Juan , Correas Ángela G , Gimeno Lucía , Escrivá Consuelo , Piqueras Marta
Published: September 2019

El proyecto DEBATMITAL tiene como objetivo principal aumentar la participación de los alumnos en la sesión práctica sobre “Mitos de la Alimentación” que forma parte de la asignatura optativa “Alimentación y Dietética” del grado en Medicina de la Universidad de Valencia. Frente a la clase magistral, que era básicamente la herramienta utilizada en cursos anteriores, se organiza la clase en grupos de debate para tratar diversas afirmaciones relacionadas con la alimentación que se pueden escuchar comúnmente. La valoración que los estudiantes hacen de esta iniciativa es muy positiva. Indican que han aprendido, que se han divertido mientras participaban en los debates, y que prefieren esta herramienta a la clase magistral. Por tanto, el debate es una herramienta docente que no solo se puede utilizar en el área de las Ciencias Sociales, sino que también puede ser muy útil para determinados temas en grados del área de Ciencias de la Salud, como es el caso del grado en Medicina.
El “Wow factor”. Experiencias de aprendizaje en la asignatura Taller I: Conservación y Restauración de Bienes Culturales
Authors: Subiela Toni Colomina
Published: September 2019

Diferentes corrientes pedagógicas atestiguan que los estímulos sorpresivos redundan beneficiosamente en los procesos de aprendizaje y que, además, estas incitaciones ven acrecentada su eficacia cuando vienen acompañadas de alguna dosis de risa o buen humor. Tanto las explicaciones teóricas, desarrolladas a través de métodos expositivos, como las actividades prácticas en el entorno del laboratorio o taller, son tanto más eficientes en la medida en que el “wow factor” se incluye como elemento catalizador. Durante los últimos cursos académicos se han implementado diferentes actos sorpresivos en la asignatura “Taller I”, del Grado en Conservación y Restauración de Bienes Culturales de la Universitat Politècnica de València. La innovación se ha llevado a cabo en consonancia con una metodología de docencia inversa, obteniendo unos resultados satisfactorios que se vinculan al establecimiento de un entorno de trabajo sugestivo y atrayente para que el alumnado desarrolle un aprendizaje significativo.

¿Sabemos qué es un crédito ECTS?
Authors: Domenech Josep , Blázquez Desamparados
Published: September 2019

En el contexto del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES), las universidades basan el diseño y evaluación de sus planes de estudio en el sistema de créditos ECTS. Este sistema facilita la comparación de las titulaciones y así, la movilidad de los estudiantes. Sin embargo, se vienen observando deficiencias en su papel como elemento cuantificador de la carga de trabajo de los estudiantes. Así, en este artículo se expone un caso de estudio llevado a cabo en la Universitat Politècnica de València en el que se analiza la carga de trabajo esperada según la definición del crédito ECTS y la carga real reportada por los alumnos, que han seguido un sistema de evaluación continua con exámenes semanales en los cuales se les preguntaba por las horas dedicadas a la preparación de dicho examen. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que la carga real de trabajo autónomo de los estudiantes es bastante menor que la carga que debería derivarse según la definición del crédito ECTS. Se discuten los posibles motivos y se ofrecen alternativas de mejora.
Diseño de sistema híbrido basado en energía solar PV con almacenamiento en baterías: aplicación a la enseñanza de Microrredes Eléctricas utilizando Microsoft Excel
Authors: Vargas-Salgado Carlos , Bastida Molina Paula , Montuori Lina , Águila-León Jesús
Published: September 2019

En una de las prácticas de la asignatura Redes eléctricas inteligentes del Máster Universitario en Tecnología Energética para Desarrollo Sostenible de la UPV, se pide realizar el diseño de una microrred con un sistema solar PV y almacenamiento en baterías. Actualmente para realizar dicho diseño existen programas informáticos utilizados a nivel empresarial, como el PVSyst o el SAM, para el caso del diseño o  Homer para llevar a cabo el análisis económico. Estas herramientas, aunque útiles, tienen un coste elevado y, como es habitual en programas informáticos, tienen limitaciones a la hora de modificar el método a utilizar. Al introducir los cálculos en MS Excel por sí mismo, comparado con softwares, se mejora el aprendizaje de los estudiantes.  También se podría realizar el diseño de forma manual, pero es un procedimiento muy laborioso y se pueden cometer errores durante la realización de los cálculos. En este documento se explica y utiliza una metodología innovadora para realizar el diseño de un sistema de generación de energía de 12 kW, a través de una herramienta viable y utilizada por los estudiantes durante sus estudios como es el caso de Microsoft Excel. Como resultado de aplicar la innovación, el estudiante obtiene el diseño del sistema propuesto, el cual incluye la selección y el dimensionamiento de los paneles solares, inversores y baterías, así como la integración de todos los componentes en el sistema. Mediante este diseño el estudiante desarrolla las competencias transversales UPV 1 a 5 y 9.

Published: September 2019

As escolhas educacionais do presente pedem mudanças em função das alterações que se notam na sociedade. Estudos da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), apontam que a depressão poderá se tornar uma epidemia mundial até 2020. Descrevemos pesquisas informando que pessoas com bom conhecimento técnico, são demitidas no trabalho pelo comportamento pessoal. Reconhecemos que o processo de ensino e aprendizagem, para ser mais efetivo, necessita considerar todas as condições orgânicas, sociais, cognitivas, emocionais e físicas dos estudantes. No âmbito de um grupo de pesquisa, desenvolvemos um projeto intitulado Estatística e Educação Socioemocional. Criamos atividades visando contribuir com uma Formação Interdimensional. Aplicamos estas atividades e observamos seus resultados. Utilizamos metodologias ativas, rodas de conversas, e envolvemos familiares na pesquisa realizada pelos alunos. Apresentamos e discutimos uma destas atividades desenvolvida com alunos do 6ºano da Educação Básica de uma escola privada. Observamos que os alunos apresentaram bom aproveitamento nos conteúdos de Estatística previsto no plano de ensino, puderam refletir sobre necessidades humanas fundamentais, sem as quais se pode desenvolver patologias e distinguir necessidade de maneiras de satisfazer necessidades, considerando a sustentabilidade ambiental. As respostas apresentadas pelos familiares na pesquisa, propiciou um contraste que ampliou a reflexão dos adolescentes.
Collect, Save, Adapt: Making and Unmaking Ex Situ Worlds
Authors: Laboissière Anna-Katharina
Published: September 2019

‘Putting the right species back in the right place’: expressed in the words of Bruce Pavlik, the Head of Restoration Ecology at the Millennium Seed Bank at Kew Gardens in a fundraising clip for the Breathing Planet Campaign, the work of biodiversity repositories seems straightforward. A simple matter of renewing the colonial and capitalistic capture of nature by exhausting its diversity in collecting, and then of reinserting species, suspended in the form of genetic information, into the neat spaces their disappearance or almost-dispappearance has left in their original ecosystems, the redemptive value of biodiversity repositories seems unquestionable. ‘There is no technological reason why any species should go extinct’, the clip goes on.The cryopreservation of genetic material in seed banks and ‘frozen zoos’ is often and justifiably understood as genetic-fetishistic suspension, several times removed from animal lives in actual habitats; I propose however to read them as world-making devices in their own right too, more entangled and entangling than they might present themselves to be. Collecting and saving are two mandates that have effects both on the species whose genetic information is banked and on the natures that are made possible or impossible through the projects delineated by biodiversity repositories; but they have also been implicated in a third such mandate, the assisted adaptation of species to anthropogenic climate change (be it the plan for ‘chaperoned assisted relocation’ proposed by the Missouri Botanical Garden or the ‘cultivation of marginally hardy taxa’ proposed at the Arnold Arboretum). How are biodiversity repositories an active intervention into the shaping of natures both inside and outside, and what are the consequences of what happens within the apparatus of these repositories for wider understandings of landscapes and species under threat? How linked is the suspension of metabolic processes and evolutionary potential and the understanding of Earth as manageable, perhaps even terraformable? What do they contribute to conservation biology’s biopolitical and cultural shaping of individuals, species, ecosystems suspended and remade through the different uses for which biodiversity repositories can be put to work?
A Multispecies Collective Planting Trees: Tending to Life and Making Meaning Outside of the Conservation Heroic
Authors: McLauchlan Laura
Published: September 2019

To what extent do our narratives support the work of ecological care? While working in anti-extinction conservation requires paying careful attention to the realities of precarity and ambiguity, this is not necessarily reflected in our public narratives of such work. Instead, as is typified in Jean Giono’s 1953 short story ‘The man who planted trees’, many conservation narratives are pitched in heroic modes, framing conservation labour as working to secure an obvious ‘good’ in perpetuity. In this paper, I think with practicing Buddhist and volunteer tree planter, Errol Greaves, and his work organising and working with dedicated humans helping to regenerate native forest on Te Ahumairangi Hill at the edge of Wellington City. Aiming to create a flourishing native habitat to support the endangered kākā (Nestor meridionalis), Errol’s work is largely in line with mainstream anti-extinction conservation goals in Aoteaora/New Zealand. However, his labour is framed by distinctly non-heroic narratives emphasising cooperation, ambiguity and precarity—emphases more closely related to the comedic, a mode of narration which Joseph Meeker identifies as better allowing for both ecological accommodation and responsiveness. In this paper, I consider the resources offered by various relational ontologies and non-heroic narratives for both responding well to ecological realities and sustaining work for a flourishing world, particularly in our current times of radically apparent precarity.
The relationship between semen seminal plasma ions and sperm cell velocities of wild-caught longspine scraper, Capoeta trutta
Authors: Özgür Mustafa Erkan , Maraş Zeynep , Erdoğan Selim
Published: September 2019

Abstract. In this study, semen seminal plasma
contents and the motility of sperm cells were determined in Capoeta trutta via a computer-assisted sperm
analysis system. In addition, we evaluated the relationship between semen
seminal plasma ions and the velocities of sperm cells. Although the
predominant ions were K (206.84±20.61 mg L−1) and Na (128.06±23.82 mg L−1) in the semen seminal plasma, Ca (14.05±4.13 mg L−1) and Mg (3.35±0.44 mg L−1) were not predominate according to our results. However,
partially strong relationships between the curvilinear
velocity value (VCL) and K (R2=0.67; p<0.05) were found, while it was moderate with Mg (R2=0.48; p<0.05). There was a weak
relationship with Na (R2=0.17; p<0.05) and Ca
(R2=0.34; p<0.05). In our results, while the trace metals
were determined as Zn > Al > B > Li > Cu in semen seminal plasma, they are not correlated with
sperm cell velocities. Finally, we hope that the present information on the
motility parameters of Capoeta trutta in this paper will eventually help artificial
insemination in reproduction practices.
Estimating global surface ammonia concentrations inferred from satellite retrievals

Published: September 2019

Abstract. Ammonia (NH3), as an alkaline gas in the atmosphere, can cause direct
or indirect effects on the air quality, soil acidification, climate change
and human health. Estimating surface NH3 concentrations is
critically important for modeling the dry deposition of NH3 and for
modeling the formation of ammonium nitrate, which have important impacts on
the natural environment. However, sparse monitoring sites make it
challenging and difficult to understand the global distribution of surface
NH3 concentrations in both time and space. We estimated the global
surface NH3 concentrations for the years of 2008–2016 using
satellite NH3 retrievals combining vertical profiles from
GEOS-Chem. The accuracy assessment indicates that the satellite-based
approach has achieved a high predictive power for annual surface NH3
concentrations compared with the measurements of all sites in China, the US and
Europe (R2=0.76 and RMSE = 1.50 µg N m−3). The
satellite-derived surface NH3 concentrations had higher consistency
with the ground-based measurements in China (R2=0.71 and RMSE = 2.6 µg N m−3) than the US (R2=0.45 and RMSE = 0.76 µg N m−3) and Europe (R2=0.45 and RMSE = 0.86 µg N m−3) at
a yearly scale. Annual surface NH3 concentrations higher than 6 µg N m−3 are mainly concentrated in the North China Plain of China and
northern India, followed by 2–6 µg N m−3 mainly in southern and
northeastern China, India, western Europe, and the eastern United States (US).
High surface NH3 concentrations were found in the croplands in China, the
US and Europe, and surface NH3 concentrations in the croplands in China
were approximately double those in the croplands in the US and Europe.
The linear trend analysis shows that an increase rate of surface NH3
concentrations (> 0.2 µg N m−3 yr−1) appeared in eastern China during 2008–2016, and a middle increase rate (0.1–0.2 µg N m−3 yr−1) occurred in northern Xinjiang over China. NH3
increase was also found in agricultural regions in the central and eastern US
with an annual increase rate of lower than 0.10 µg N m−3 yr−1.
The satellite-derived surface NH3 concentrations help us to determine
the NH3 pollution status in the areas without monitoring sites and to
estimate the dry deposition of NH3 in the future.
Dibujo para todos. Prácticas pedagógicas en el grado en Artes Digitales: pensamiento abstracto, formas geométricas básicas y sistemas de retícula
Authors: Rejas del Hoyo Miguel A. , Báscones Reina Noelia
Published: September 2019

Todo proyecto de diseño requiere de una concepción basada en la metodología proyectual que parte del esbozo como herramienta para la configuración de ideas a partir de elementos esenciales de la forma tales como la línea, el círculo o el cuadrado. Todas estas características se desarrollan mediante la observación y el dibujo, y nos ayudan a definir la estructura, dirección, peso visual, movimiento o composición y por lo tanto forman parte de la estructura reticular propia del diseño gráfico y en general de todas aquellas disciplinas en las que intervine la práctica creativa.

Por este motivo, el presente estudio plantea una reflexión sobre la necesidad de establecer nuevas prácticas pedagógicas dentro de los estudios de grado universitario vinculados a la formación en disciplinas como el diseño, la comunicación o la publicidad.

Para ello se lleva a cabo un recorrido por las nuevas pedagogías surgidas a finales del S. XIX y que fueron tan influyentes en la formación de diseñadores y artistas de Vanguardia y sobre las que se apoyan las bases estéticas de De Stijl y Bauhaus que a su vez conforman el principio de todo un estilo hacia la abstracción que marcó el cambio de paradigma hacia nuevos enfoques en el arte y el diseño del siglo XX y XXI. Este recorrido se ve reflejado en el análisis de un caso de estudio en el que se ponen en práctica estrategias de aprendizaje inspiradas tanto en las pedagogías Bauhaus como en el modelo pedagógico de Pestalozzi, combinando el aprendizaje de herramientas digitales con la formación para el desarrollo del pensamiento abstracto a través de formas geométricas básicas y su aplicación a los sistemas de retícula.
“Viva Alemania”: internados alemanes de Camerún en España durante la Primera Guerra Mundial
Authors: Gutiérrez Koester Isabel
Published: September 2019

Un episodio histórico poco conocido en el ámbito de las relaciones interculturales germano-españolas y de los procesos migratorios, pero cuyas huellas son todavía palpables en la actualidad, es el de la internación de la llamada Schutztruppe (fuerza militar colonial alemana) de Camerún en España durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. Lo sorprendente en esta situación de crisis política se reflejó en el entusiasmo y la admiración con que fueron recibidos en un primer momento los llamados “internados” alemanes en un país supuestamente neutral y que se encontraba oficiosamente dividido entre aliadófilos y germanófilos. El ensayo es el resultado de una minuciosa búsqueda de las huellas literarias de este episodio histórico en el ámbito alemán, sacando a la luz los escasísimos y prácticamente desconocidos testimonios escritos de estos internados, que contrastan con la amplia repercusión mediática que este suceso tuvo en España.

Exchange Rate Volatility and Domestic Consumption: A Comparative Study of Developed, Developing and Emerging Economies
Authors: Chishti Muhammad Zubair , Azeem Hafiz Syed Muhammad , Mahmood Farrukh , Sheikh Adeel Ahmed
Published: September 2019

The current study endeavors to explore the effects of oscillations in the exchange rate on the household aggregate consumption of developed, emerging, and developing economies, employing the panel data from 1995 to 2017. To select an appropriate panel data estimation technique, we apply Brush-Pagan & Hausman Tests for each set of chosen economies. Further, our study deduces that, in the case of developed economies, the oscillations in the exchange rate, significantly, affect the domestic consumption, supporting Alexander’s (1952) conjecture. However, in the case of emerging and developing economies, aggregate consumption does not respond to the exchange rate volatility.
The Apostles as the Messiah’s Kingly and Prophetic Shepherds of Jeremiah 23
Authors: Henning Bruce
Published: September 2019

Matthew 9:36 and 10:6 clearly echo Ezek 34 with its description of restoration as eschatological shepherding. However, this article argues that Jer 23:1–6 also warrants serious consideration, though it is rarely noticed. Activating this text in the audience’s mind casts the apostles as eschatological shepherds in conjunction with the messiah, resulting in the emphasis of their royal and prophetic functions. After establishing that Jer 23:1–6 satisfies various criteria of an allusion, Jer 23 will be examined to demonstrate that, though הָרֹעִים and ποιμένας are general terms, contextually the terms refer to eschatological rulers and prophets connected to the messiah. Last, the Gospel of Matthew, particularly the mission discourse, will be considered to see how the apostles are cast in these roles.
Did the Syrophoenician Woman Change Jesus’s Mission?
Authors: Malcolm Matthew
Published: September 2019

Recent readings of Mark’s account of Jesus’s interaction with the Syrophoenician woman have frequently emphasized the woman’s role as an agent of change in Jesus’s mission. Dissatisfied with the idea that Jesus was simply testing the woman’s faith, these readings suggest that Jesus’s rejection of the woman’s request was genuine and that she changed his mind, thereby opening Jesus to a widening ministry to Gentiles. This article argues that, while these readings bring important insights, they face two major sets of problems. First, Mark does not present Jesus as being newly open to Gentile mission after this interaction; second, the Markan Jesus does make use of “tests of faith,” particularly related to the provision of bread. Thus, I argue that this passage does indeed relate a particular sort of “test of faith,” though this must be rightly understood.
“Everything and nothing”: Liminality in Diana Gabaldon's Outlander
Authors: Potter Mary-Anne
Published: September 2019

Diana Gabaldon's Outlander, often categorized within the genre of speculative fiction, is a work that presents the reader with a reluctant time-travelling central female protagonist and primary narrator, Claire Beauchamp. As a work of speculative fiction, key concerns pertaining to what this fictional genre's purpose is to center on the re-imagining, and even dissolution, of absolute categorizations of time, space, and gender. Outlander exemplifies this overturning and destabilization of traditional understandings of time, and Gabaldon centers this exploration on the seemingly timeless artifacts of the standing stones at Craigh na Dun. The potential of the stones and Claire to simultaneously inhabit suspended states of dissolution and reconciliation characterizes them as liminal, as defined by Victor Turner. They represent a simultaneous everything- and nothing-ness, existing in a state of synchronicity within which a multiplicity of modes of being and meaning are generated. Liminal, postmodernist, and posthumanist theory reveal how the relationship between Claire and the standing stones may be read as manifesting a temporal perpetuality that challenges the linear organizations of time and history.
In an Age of Heritage Signs, Encouraging Archaeological Sites to be Cosmopolitan Canopies
Authors: Baram Uzi
Published: September 2019

To mark history, governments authorize the erecting of markers, signs on the landscape meant to inform. While historical markers have a long tradition for identifying places with significant events and people, there has been an expansion on what and how to mark places and their heritage. Signs capture the attention and provide information for those interested in learning about where they are at the moment. They are in-situ teaching tools, open to anyone able to interpret the heritage for broad audiences, and can encourage places for cosmopolitanism, canopies for people to learn about the past and each other.
Cephalopod mating systems as models for the study of sexual selection and alternative reproductive tactics: a review
Authors: Apostólico Lígia Haselmann , Amoroso RodriguezMarian José Eduardo
Published: September 2019

Cephalopods are a remarkable group for studies on sexual selection, due to their complex reproductive behavior, pronounced sexual dimorphism, polygamous behavior, as well as cumulative evidence of pre- and postcopulatory male-male competition and female choice in the group. is paper
provides a review of sexual selection studies on cephalopods, with an emphasis on the loliginid squid mating system. In this system, males may adopt alternative reproductive tactics (ART) and display male intrasexual dimorphism, with each morph generally exhibiting distinct behaviors and ejaculate
traits. Consort males typically transfer ejaculates to the female mantle cavity, while sneaker males typically transfer ejaculates to the female buccal region, where a sperm storage organ is located. Each site provides distinct fertilization environments for the ejaculates of each morph, differing
in the availability of eggs, gamete protection, and timing between mating and fertilization. Accordingly, the ejaculates of each morph show putative adaptations for each site, differing in size, morphology, sperm release duration, and sperm behavior. Although solid evidence is lacking for
most loliginids, cryptic female choice may occur in this system through, for example, spermatangia removal or egg string manipulation during fertilization. In addition, recent evidence for one loliginid species indicates that adoption of male ART is ontogenetic and may represent two alternative
pathways: from immature males (i) directly to consort phenotype or (ii) going through a sneaker phase, then switching to consort morph. The second pathway would, therefore, imply striking change in behavior, physiology, and ejaculates. Moreover, data on the age of this species suggests that
the adoption of sneaker tactic early in life may be associated with extending the male mating period by 25%. With such a peculiar system, loliginids should prove useful not only for comprehending the evolution of female promiscuity and ART in cephalopods, but also as an emerging nonvertebrate
and nonarthropod model for testing sperm competition models.
Hyperspectral Imaging Applications to Geometallurgy: Utilizing Blast Hole Mineralogy to Predict Au-Cu Recovery and Throughput at the Phoenix Mine, Nevada

Published: September 2019

The Phoenix mine and predecessor operations in north-central Nevada have produced an aggregate of 5.2 Moz of gold and 550 million pounds of copper from an Eocene-aged Au-Cu porphyry-related skarn. The complex skarn mineralogy intimately associated with ore-grade mineralization poses significant challenges to blasting, mining, comminution, and process operations. These challenges are rooted in highly variable silicate mineralogy, which manifests as fine-grained, submillimeter grain-size, generally green colored rocks that inhibit accurate identification in the field. Prior to this study, all mineralogical data utilized in Phoenix mine ore control were sourced from blast hole cuttings mapped by ore control geologists in the field—the standard practice at many modern mine sites. At Phoenix, a direct link between mineralogy and mill performance was recognized; however, mineralogical data captured in the field was not sufficient to optimize process operations.

To address this, it was determined that analytical work was necessary to quantify fine-grained mineralogy of variable ore types. A visible-near and short-wave infrared (VNIR-SWIR) hyperspectral imaging system provided the ideal tool, as it allows near real-time mineralogical data acquisition and semiquantitative determination of mineral abundances. Multiple iterative studies were conducted to prove that hyperspectral imaging of Phoenix ore types provides results suitable for process optimization. This six-month study described here included hyperspectral imaging of 3,008 blast hole cuttings samples from three pits, and 877 crusher feed, rougher feed, and rougher tails samples. Hyperspectral feature extractions derived from mill samples were paired with associated mill performance data and used to build predictive Au-Cu recovery, grade, and throughput models using multiple linear regression, partial least squares, and deep learning techniques with R-correlation values to observed data of 0.56 to 0.71. Blast hole hyperspectral data were then applied to recovery, grade, and throughput models to calculate predicted recoveries and throughputs that were spatially kriged with excellent correlations to geologic features.

The application of VNIR-SWIR hyperspectral imaging to blast hole cuttings is a powerful predictive and diagnostic geometallurgical tool in operations where silicate mineralogy has a strong impact on process operations.

Teaching effect is a core index for measuring the validity of teaching practices in universities. How to improve it in class? It is an important issue in educational reform. From students’ cognition perspective, the study analyzed students’ statements about the knowledge, personalities and behaviour of their teachers. Through the process of text analysis, the study summarized the common elements of teachers’ knowledge and personality as well as their impacts on teaching effects. A new theory, i.e. Intellectual Management for University Teacher (IMUT), was constructed. Results show that: At first, university students can definitely cognize and appraise their teachers’ knowledge and personalities; Second, an effective combination of knowledge and personality decides one teacher’s teaching effect, and; Finally, according to the feedback of students, the elements of teacher’s knowledge should include knowledge level and knowledge behaviour, and the elements of teacher’s personality could be summarized as personality trait and personalized behaviour. In order to improve teaching effects, university teachers are suggested to implement intellectual management, for realizing intellectual beauty through building a syncretic system which helps to develop knowledge and personality together.

Introduction: We aimed to evaluate the impact of non-refluxing hydroureter on the initial management of high-grade hydronephrosis (HGH) management. Moreover, we evaluated the occurrence of febrile urinary tract infection (FUTI) and surgical intervention for conservatively managed units.

Methods: Patients’ charts with postnatal hydronephrosis from 2008‒2014 were retrospectively reviewed. We included patients who presented in the first year of life. All included patients had HGH (Society of Fetal Ultrasound [SFU] grades3 and 4) and all were non-refluxing using voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG). We categorized renal units into two groups: with hydroureteronephrosis (HUN) and without hydroureter (isolated hydronephrosis [IH]). We recorded the initial management. We evaluated the impact of non-refluxing hydroureter on hydronephrosis fate, FUTI, and change to surgery for those managed conservatively.

Results: We included 169 patients (180 units). IH was diagnosed in 146 units (137patients), whereas 34 units (32 patients) had HUN. Median followup was 42.9 months. A total of 25.3% of IH units (37/146) had initial surgical management in comparison to 5.1% (2/34) of HUN units (p=0.01). During conservative management, nine HUN patients (30%) and 11 IH patients (10.7%) experienced FUTI (p=0.009). Surgical intervention after failed conservative management was indicated for 12 IH units (11%) and six HUN units (18.8%) (p=0.25). Anteroposterior diameter (APD) worsening was significantly associated with the change to surgery in IH group (p=0.003). More than half (52.3%) of IH units resolved during conservative management in comparison to 18.7% of HUN (p<0.001). HUN had longer time till resolution (log rank=0.004).

Conclusions: IH units had more initial surgical interventions. The FUTI rate was much higher in association with dilated ureter even under antibiotic coverage. HUN was associated with less and slower resolution rate.

Published: September 2019

This study investigated sleep deprivation and academic performance on nursing students of University of Calabar. A self-structured instrument was administered to a sample of 109 students. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 20.0. Most, 55(50.5. %) of the respondents start depriving themselves of sleep immediately after resumption.

On school days, most 53 (48.6%) respondents sleep for 1–3 hours on average; while 40(36.7%) respondents sleep for 4–6 hours on average. During weekends most, 69(63.3%) respondents sleep for 4-6 hours on average, however, during examinations, majority 73(67. %), sleep for 1–3 hours on average. 64(58.6%) take different substances to keep awake. More male 69(63.3%) respondents start depriving themselves of sleep immediately after resumption, as against 50(46%) female respondents. Male students have an average sleep of 5.02 hours during schools days; 5.07 hours during weekends, and 2.39 hours during examinations, while female students have an average sleep of 5.25 hours during schools days, 5.43 hours during weekends, and 4.77 hours during examinations. Male students have a lower mean (SD) hours of sleep of (4.16±.35) compared to female students mean (SD) hours of (5.15±.49). The result further showed a statistically significant relationship between sleep deprivation and academic performance, also, a statistically significant influence of sleep deprivation on academic performance of male and female nursing students. Recommendations: nursing students should be properly counseled on the importance of adequate sleep to their academic performance. They should only deprive themselves of sleep during school days and less during examination.

INTRODUCTION: Overweight, hyperglycaemia and hypertension are risk factors for development of cardiovascular diseases that have the highest mortality and morbidity rates among noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) globally. The aim of this study was to examine the health-promoting lifestyle behaviour that determine risk factors for Noncommunicable diseases among university employees in Nigeria.

METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional survey among university employees in Nigeria. Data were collected from 280 employees in the university by means of a questionnaire that consisted of three sections. Collected data were analysed using IBM-SPSS version 25.

RESULTS: Good physical activity lifestyle behaviour (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 2.1, 95% CI: [1.1–3.9]) and good health responsibility lifestyle behaviour (aOR = 2.4, 95% CI: [1.2–4.9]) were statistically significant predictors of normal body mass index. Also, good health-promoting lifestyle profile (HPLP) (aOR = 3.1, 95% CI: [1.3–7.6]) was a statistically significant predictor of normal waist–hip ratio. However, there is no statistically significant relationship between HPLP and random blood sugar or between HPLP and blood pressure.

CONCLUSION: The findings from the study reveal that good health-promoting lifestyle behaviour especially health responsibility, physical activity and stress management behaviour are determinant of overweight and obesity which are major risk factors for development of cardiovascular diseases, type II diabetes and some form of cancer. Hence, to reduce the risk of developing noncommunicable diseases, there is a need to develop an intervention to improve university employee’s health-promoting lifestyle.
Escaping the Guillotine: The Gap between the Crimes Punishable by Death and the Effective Death Sentences (France, 20th Century)
Authors: Picard Nicolas
Published: September 2019

A statistical report of 1906 evaluated the place of death sentences in the judicial system, with the main purpose of supporting the bill of abolition of the death penalty (finally rejected). This report showed the negligible role of the capital punishment in the penal repression – as if the guillotine had already fallen into abeyance. According to the Penal Code of 1810, aggravated murders (premeditated murders, murders accompanied by another crime, murders of a public officer), parricides, poisonings, arsons of houses, as well as complicity in and attempt of such crimes, were all punishable by the guillotine. However, a large implementation of the principle of mitigating circumstances allowed to avoid the enforcement of death penalty. Moreover, two thirds of the people sentenced to death were pardoned, often with the support of the juries. The substitute penalty was a perpetual imprisonment, but this “perpetuity” became shorter and shorter after 1945.
Did Totalitarian Experience Shape Democratic Norms? Struggle for the Independence of the Polish Judiciary and its Results: Conclusions from Talks with Professor Adam Strzembosz
Authors: Zakroczymski Stanisław
Published: September 2019

This paper is a confrontation of the statements made by eminent Polish Professor of Law, Adam Strzembosz, in the interview published in the form of a book Między prawem i sprawiedliwością, with the views presented in the legal, historical, and sociological literature. I describe the ways judicial independence was limited in Communist Poland, and the strategies judges undertook to counteract that phenomenon. Special emphasis is put on the attitude of the “Solidarity” movement towards this problem and the judge’s behavior under Martial Law. In conclusion, I try to prove that the post-totalitarian trauma in Polish judiciary provoked an “over-sensitivity” in regard to the judicial independence.
