An Overview of Transplantation in Culturally Diverse Regions
Authors: Oniscu Gabriel C , Forsythe John LR
Published: October 2022

Transplantation is one of the most progressive areas of medicine. Following its rapid development, organ transplantation has become part of the globalisation process, and is now available in all corners of the world in different social and cultural environments. Almost a decade into a new century, transplantation faces new challenges, with record numbers of patients on the waiting list, a scarcity of donor organs, inequity in access to transplantation, organ commercialisation, increasing living donation and the use of marginal donors. Probably more than in any other field of medicine, the cultural influences are very prominent in transplantation due to the complexity of the process and the ethical issues surrounding every step from donation, access to transplantation to outcome. These influences have led to different practical approaches around the world, which aim to be in agreement with the respective societal principles and moral values. Herein, we provide an overview of some of these challenges and their possible resolution in culturally diverse areas of the world.

Live or Let Die: Ethical Issues in a Psychiatric Patient with End-stage Renal Failure
Authors: Ang Aaron , Loke Peter CW , Campbell Alastair V , Chong Siow Ann
Published: October 2022

Medical co-morbidities are very common in patients with psychiatric conditions. Although respecting one’s autonomy to make treatment decisions is the ethical default position, the capacity to make such decisions may need to be assessed, especially when patients are in relapse of their psychiatric condition, and/or when the decisions made are high-risk and possibly fatal. This case report highlights the ethical issues of refusing potential life-saving treatment in a patient who is in relapse of her schizoaffective disorder. In particular, the assessment of decisional capacity and the role of the doctors (if the patient lacks capacity) are discussed. Recommendations are also made on how to better manage such situations.

Published: October 2022

Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS), characterised by intermittent hypoxia/re-oxygenation, has been identified as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and endothelial dysfunction. Our aim was to investigate flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea with and without metabolic syndrome.

Materials and Methods: Fifty-two subjects with OSAS diagnosed by polysomnography were classified into 2 groups according to the presence and absence of the metabolic syndrome and also according to the severity: mild to moderate OSAS group and severe OSAS group. Endothelial function of the brachial artery was evaluated by using high-resolution vascular ultrasound. Endothelial- dependent dilatation (EDD) was assessed by establishing reactive hyperaemia and endothelial- independent dilatation (EID) was determined by using sublingual isosorbide dinitrate. Spearman correlation and regression analysis were performed.

Results: EDD was not significantly different in patients with OSAS and metabolic syndrome as compared with OSAS without metabolic syndrome (4.62 ± 0.69 versus 4.49 ± 0.93, P >0.05).

Conclusions: Endothelial dysfunction in OSA may be independent of metabolic syndrome.

To meet all the needs needed by humans, it is sometimes necessary to have additional capital that we can obtain through banks in the form of credit. To guarantee the passage of credit, banks need collateral to be analyzed by the bank's internal appraiser. However, in its development a new service sub-business emerged, namely an Appraiser who can help banks assess the collateral, in evaluating an appraiser must carry out their duties in accordance with the standards and code of ethics and in carrying out the assessment an appraiser is in a place called the Public Appraisal Service Office. In the assessment process it is undeniable that there is no conformity with the principles and code of ethics of the assessor, causing losses. For this action it is not possible to have administrative sanctions that can be applied to the Appraiser or Office of Public Appraisal Services. The research method used is a normative juridical legal research method, the approach used in legal research is the statute approach (¬). Results and Discussion In evaluating bank customer collateral, the legal relationship between the bank and the Appraiser as well as the Office of Public Appraisal Services is the existence of a cooperation agreement regarding the assessment of bank collateral. In carrying out the assessment activities it is undeniable that sometimes the appraiser does not work in accordance with the standards and ethical code of the existing assessors, causing losses so that it does not rule out the possibility of administrative sanctions in the form of warnings, restrictions on certain object valuation services, restrictions on the provision of certain services, freezing permits, revocation of permits. However, it does not rule out the possibility of imposing civil and criminal sanctions in accordance with what has been promised in the cooperation agreement.

Given the dynamics of climate events (hazards) and their linkages to human health, it is imperative to continuallly check the impacts of these events on the public health system. While efforts have been made to understand fluvial flood and COVID-19 vulnerability and impacts, substantial gaps about impacts of their simultaneous occurrence on densely-populated communities abound. This paper presents an assessement of the occurrence of fluvial flooding and its potential to undermine the management of the COVID-19 pandemic in Lagos State, Nigeria. This study applied the indicator-based risk assessment method to determine the pattern of COVID-19 risk in the study area. Flood hazard and health facilities datasets of Lagos State were also used to determine the flood extent and pattern of flood-exposed health facilities in ArcGIS 10.7.1. Results revealed that Apapa, Eti Osa, Ibeju Lekki, Mushin, and Lagos Mainland local government areas (LGAs) were at a very high risk of COVID-19. Results also highlight six LGAs that should be prioritized in managing COVID-19 due to the exposure of the majority of its health facilities to flood. Far-reaching recommendations on the need to prioritize these flood-exposed health facilities for COVID-19 risk reduction, humanitarian aid and prevention strategies is made. Also, future research in the study area should explore sustainable strategies to adapt to COVID-19 and flood events from an interdisciplinary perspective.
NATIONWIDE MAPPING OF OPTIMUM WALL INSULATION THICKNESSES: A STOCHASTIC APPROACH
Authors: CAGLAYAN Semih , OZORHON Beliz , KURNAZ Levent
Published: October 2022

Energy consumption in buildings accounts for a notable part of the primary energy consumption all over the world. The building industry also has a great potential to decrease the environmental impact by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The national strategies of many developing countries are shaped by energy conservation issues. Improving energy efficiency and productivity is stated as one of the main elements of the Turkish national energy strategy. An efficient way to decrease energy consumption in buildings is to implement insulation on the building envelope. Identifying the optimum insulation thickness to be applied on the exterior walls is of prime importance. This study adapts a stochastic approach to determine optimum insulation thickness for 81 cities in Turkey. The stochastic approach, unlike the commonly used deterministic approach, incorporates the probabilistic nature of the process and presents the optimum insulation thickness as a probability distribution graph rather than a single value. For this purpose, a number of insulation thicknesses (1-20 cm) were regarded as the alternatives and the optimum alternative was determined based on life cycle costing analysis involving the cost of insulation application and annual energy savings. The average monthly temperature of each city and financial parameters such as the inflation and discount rates were considered as the stochastic elements. The results of the life cycle costing analysis were used to (i) identify the optimum thicknesses in each city as a probability distribution graph and (ii) generate an optimum insulation thickness map for Turkey.

Authors: Kithuka James , Guyo Wario , Kiarie David
Published: October 2022

Purpose: The study also sought to address the moderating effect of information flow on the relationship between management risk and performance of manufacturing firms. Information flow plays an integral role in determining the effectiveness of supply chain processes and how they enhance firm performance. Outsourcing logistics comes with varied risks and one of the risks is management risks. These risks are aligned with the administrative differences between the outsourced company and the manufacturing firm, which could affect the effectiveness of the cooperation towards enhanced performance.

Methodology: The study was informed by core competency theory. Both descriptive and explanatory research designs were adopted. The unit of observation was the supply chain administrators of manufacturing firms in Kenya. Stratified sampling was conducted on all the one thousand one hundred and twenty three manufacturing firms registered by KAM, simple random sampling was carried out on the strata to identify a sample size of 295 firms. The study relied on primary data which was collected through semi-structured questionnaires that were administered to administrators charged with the management of supply chain within the selected firms. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics namely percentages, mean and standard deviation through the help of SPSS.

Findings: The study revealed that management risk significantly influenced the performance of manufacturing firms in Kenya. The findings further revealed that information flow had a positive but insignificant moderating effect on the relationship between management risk and performance of manufacturing firms in Kenya.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study concluded management risk is essential in the performance of manufacturing firms in Kenya.

The Animal In-Habitant Made an Out-Sider: Representation of Animals in Medieval Mystery Plays
Authors: Ağkaş Özcan Tuba
Published: October 2022

According to the Western metaphysical philosophy, human species is supposed to be superior to the nonhuman animals with respect to the former’s physical space, bodily form, possessing mind, being able to reason, having a distinctive and complicated language as well as being susceptible to pain and death. Such kind of an approach encourages humans to deny animals some basic intrinsic rights, such as living. However, as far as the recent research and philosophical/ethical discussions point out, human superciliousness is out of question. This study will dwell upon certain research made in the field of animal studies that refute the assumptions of Western metaphysical thought. It will refer, among others, particularly to the research conducted by Stacy Alaimo, Karen Barad, Jacques Derrida, Michael Allen Fox & Lesley McLean, Peter Singer and Cary Wolfe. Then, within this context, it will denote the anthropocentric representations of animals in the mystery plays, which were created and performed in medieval Britain out of the stories in the Old Testament. But at the same time, it will draw attention to a number of rational, talking, living, respected animal portraits in these plays and assert that medieval English mystery plays, though produced under the influence of the Old Testament in which God announces human beings’ ascendance, call forth a harmonious life with our animal companions.

O presente estudo teve como objetivo desconstruir os tabus impostos pela sociedade sobre a vida sexual dos idosos e abordar a respeito da importância do uso do preservativo. O artigo se trata de um relato de experiência desenvolvido por alunos do oitavo período do Centro Universitário Santo Agostinho – UNIFSA, que aconteceu nos dias 24 e 25/05/22 em uma unidade básica de saúde, no estado do Piauí, município de Teresina, Brasil. O estudo envolveu palestras e testes rápidos para Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis (ISTs). Todos os testes aplicados tiveram o resultado negativo. 50% dos participantes eram idosos entre 65 e 76 anos, enquanto os outros 50% eram da população entre 33 e 51 anos, sendo 60% do sexo feminino. Conclui-se que o envelhecimento é um processo natural do ser humano, sendo necessário entender que os idosos também têm a necessidade de desenvolver práticas sexuais. Nessa faixa etária percebe-se que muitos têm um conhecimento diminuído sobre a prática de sexo seguro, tendo, portanto, o risco de contrair ISTs. Entretanto, os profissionais de saúde podem desenvolver atividades educativas com intuito de minimizar a incidência de ISTs na terceira idade.

Seeking and avoiding information: a qualitative study of the information behaviour of cancer patients
Authors:   University of Southern Denmark, Gabs Jensen Jesper , Petersen Emil ,   University of Southern Denmark, Faber Frandsen Tove ,   University of Southern Denmark
Published: October 2022

Cancer patients seek information about their health and illness in many ways. Some seek information intensively while others avoid doing so. Through the cancer continuum, individuals may choose to meet their needs using several different approaches. In this paper, we explore how cancer patients actively seek information and, in some cases, cautiously and consciously avoid information that may be relevant, but does not meet their needs. Semi-structured interviews with nine former and current cancer patients were used for data collection. Interviews were audiotaped, transcribed, and analysed using a theoretical model of cancer information behaviour. Among the interviewees, different patterns of information seeking were identified, from itensely seeking information to avoiding it. Additionally, some cancer patients can actively seek information while consciously avoiding information that is relevant but doesn't meet their needs which can be effective approaches to protecting individuals from information, they are not able to cope with. This empirical study explores how behaviour of information seeking and avoidance can overlap and be used simultaneously.
Theorizing information sources for hope: belief, desire, imagination, and metacognition
Authors:   College of Computing Informatics at Drexel University, Gorichanaz Tim
Published: October 2022

Hope is a positive attitude oriented toward a possible (yet uncertain), desired outcome. Though hope is a virtue, hopelessness is widespread and seems related not only to current events but also to information about current events. This paper examines how hope can be sparked through information. This study uses the philosophical methods of conceptual analysis and design to advance a theoretical argument. First, a conceptualisation of hope is offered, drawing on work primarily in virtue ethics. Then, four types of information sources for hope are theorised, building on and synthesising work from philosophy and psychology. Four categories of information source conducive to hopefulness are identified: information for forming beliefs about the past or future; information for engaging the moral imagination regarding possibilities for the future; information for sparking desire for particular moral outcomes; and information for metacognition, or about how we become informed with respect to hope. Hope is, in many cases, responsive to information. This suggests a moral opportunity for information professionals and scholars to work toward connecting people with information for hope, particularly in difficult times. Avenues for further research, particularly in information behaviour and practices, are suggested.
Collaboration between academics and librarians in information literacy instruction at Aalto University following a decentralising restructure
Authors:   Åbo Akademi University in Finland, Nagasawa Tayo
Published: October 2022

This study explored collaboration between academics and librarians in information literacy settings from the perspectives of information sharing and social networks based on a case study of Aalto University in Finland. A qualitative case study approach was adopted. Aalto University was selected as a salient case because its library organisation was decentrally restructured and embedded in institutional service sections in 2018. The data, mainly from interviews, were collected and analysed via thematic analysis. This study finds that academics and librarians collaborate indirectly. Mediated by study coordinators, key information and/or timetables are shared within online networks. Although the restructure of the library formed new ties outside the library, information on information literacy instruction is rarely shared. The library personnel reduction requires librarians to restrict their effort devoted to instructional services including information sharing. This study finds that organisational social networks with almost no cohesive ties between academics and librarians maintain collaboration for information literacy instruction based on occasional information sharing. Although the restructure of the library expanded its organisational horizons, the limited time and therefore effort available of librarians constrains substantial active information sharing for information literacy instruction.

Published: October 2022

In their efforts to reach out to teenagers, libraries facilitate different literary activities where youth come together, socialize and interact. In what ways do these practices contribute to the building of literary and social communities among the participating teenagers and to a broadened understanding of the concepts of libraries? This paper examines three different cases of participatory mediation activities in Norwegian libraries: a podcast, a voluntary reading group and a shared reading activity. The method used is qualitative interviews, and the findings are discussed in relation to theories on the social and participatory dimensions of cultural institutions and to a model from library and information theory. In the cases presented, the libraries facilitated the activities as part of their strategies. The study sheds light on how the mediation practices in question contribute to fostering literary and social communities among the participating teenagers. The present study demonstrates possible ways of expanding the understanding of what a library means to young people in a contemporary context.

This paper presents research on how public librarians in Denmark, Iceland, Norway and Sweden view the importance of social reading and related professional roles. Previous research findings from a questionnaire administered to public librarians are analysed in depth in order to identify trends that can be further investigated in a subsequent qualitative study. The previous findings broadly show variation in the importance of social reading activities and related professional roles at the country level. A detailed understanding of the variations is elicited through a more comprehensive analysis at the country and community levels. Social reading plays a more important role in Danish and Icelandic libraries than in Norwegian and Swedish libraries, however it is more important in larger communities in Iceland and Sweden and smaller communities in Denmark and Norway. The role of literary mediator appears to correspond highly to librarians’ professional role across all countries and community sizes whereas that of a literary critic somewhat less. The results establish a need for further research on social reading in public libraries, especially concerning the types and nature of activities generally included in social reading and the extent digital solutions are used.

Authors: Cebrián Fernández Rosario , Carral Fernández Raúl , Esteban Díez Román
Published: October 2022

La ocupación del yacimiento arqueológico de Segobriga se extiende en el cerro de Cabeza de Griego (Saelices, Cuenca) entre la Segunda Edad del Hierro y la Época Medieval. Para reconstruir su historia a lo largo de estos siglos contamos con los datos estratigráficos aportados por las excavaciones realizadas desde los años 50 del siglo XX hasta la actualidad, pero también con la información manuscrita referente a los hallazgos antiguos y trabajos arqueológicos de los siglos XVIII y XIX. Al mismo tiempo, los estudios vinculados a la epigrafía, la arquitectura, decoración arquitectónica y esculturas han permitido plantear hipótesis interpretativas de restitución de la ciudad altoimperial y tardoantigua. La apertura pública del Parque Arqueológico de Segóbriga en 2002 creó las primeras imágenes virtuales para facilitar al visitante su interpretación en su propio entorno histórico y natural. Desde 2018, en el Parque se desarrolla un proyecto de divulgación científica a través de la implementación de herramientas digitales, que permiten a su visitante interpretar los restos arqueológicos. El proyecto POLIRURAL está implementado las TIC en la visita, desarrollando diferentes herramientas a través de nuevas tecnologías innovadoras, que ayudan, junto con una estrategia de interpretación adecuada, a la transferencia del conocimiento científico del yacimiento al gran público. A día de hoy, el proyecto ha incorporado una amplia gama de contenidos que versan sobre la difusión del patrimonio y la naturaleza mediante numerosas técnicas punteras como la Realidad Aumentada, la fotogrametría, reconstrucciones virtuales, recreaciones 3D, avisos sonoros, reconocimiento de imágenes, entre otras, que reconstruyen con exactitud diversos espacios excavados, sobre el entorno real y sin perder la percepción de este. Así, a través del desarrollo de nuevos recursos y herramientas virtuales se facilita a los diferentes tipos de usuarios el acceso al conocimiento arqueológico del yacimiento, esencia de su Parque. El proyecto ha conseguido poner en valor la investigación científica, adaptándola a las necesidades del visitante a través de la gestión eficiente de los recursos disponibles. Participa un equipo multidisciplinar que cuenta con una amplia experiencia previa en patrimonio arqueológico, creación de contenidos interpretativos y divulgación didáctica, así como en proyectos de investigación y desarrollo.

El programa “Ciudades para el futuro” en el cruce de la educación, la comunicación y la tecnología. Una articulación entre museos y escuelas para la imaginación utópica
Authors: Pérez Fallik Max
Published: October 2022

En este artículo se presentan los resultados del programa educativo “Ciudades para el futuro: crear utopías” desarrollado entre el 2021 y el 2022 de forma conjunta por el Museo Kosice y el Museo Xul Solar (ambos en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, Argentina), y algunos de los interrogantes que se habilitaron gracias al replanteamiento del rol de los museos durante la crisis del Covid-19.Precisamente, Ciudades para el futuro se diseñó durante y para un contexto de aislamiento social, partiendo de una asociación horizontal entre dos museos de arte monoautorales y una fuerte articulación colaborativa con otros actores sociales (educativos, artísticos, tecnológicos y gubernamentales).Se buscó establecer un diálogo con un nuevo público, trascendiendo barreras geográficas y habilitando el acceso interactivo y participativo a ambas colecciones a través de tecnologías digitales (Realidad Virtual y videos inmersivos 360º), pero con un eje centrado en la creatividad, imaginación e invención de los estudiantes en contextos escolares, produciendo para ello una diversidad de recursos pedagógicos específicos y multimediales. Se propuso un sutil deslizamiento de los objetivos institucionales de los museos: de la adquisición, conservación, investigación, comunicación y exposición de su patrimonio, a promover su creación, resignificación y desarrollo fuera de sus paredes.En este tránsito -que traza un recorrido de un museo de “lo instituido” a sus posibilidades instituyentes- Ciudades para el futuro se desgranó en cuatro objetivos (líneas de acción) específicos, consecutivos y complementarios: acercar el patrimonio de ambos museos a nuevos públicos fuera de su región, particularmente a estudiantes de todo el país (dimensión museística), promover nuevas formas de relación con la obra de arte mediada por la tecnología en un contexto de cierre indefinido de museos (dimensión tecnológica), promover el trabajo en aula -presencial o virtual- con docentes y estudiantes para imaginar, diseñar o proyectar ciudades futuras desde cualquier lenguaje artístico (dimensión pedagógica), y realizar y difundir el registro audiovisual de la experiencia, como una cápsula de tiempo de la imaginación utópica de niños y jóvenes argentinos (dimensión comunicacional).Esta comunicación presenta los resultados de la experiencia y algunos interrogantes educativos, tecnológicos, comunicacionales y estrictamente museológicos sobre el rol y acciones digitales de los museos durante la pandemia, la posibilidad de interpelar de otras maneras a viejos y nuevos públicos y la articulación museo-escuela. En este recorrido, sugerimos que una perspectiva educativa y dialógica habilita el replanteamiento del rol del museo en tanto espacio de creación e invención.
(R)evolución digital de las colecciones universitarias
Authors: García Lirio Manuela
Published: October 2022

Hablar de patrimonio universitario requiere, en primer lugar, distinguir entre museos universitarios y colecciones universitarias. Independientemente de la categoría en la que se encuentre, el patrimonio universitario ofrece, a su vez, una gran variedad de tipologías que según el Comité de Museos y colecciones universitarias (UMAC) supera las 90 categorías. Aunque los museos universitarios nos parezcan una tipología novedosa dentro del ámbito de la museología, lo cierto es que su origen se remonta al siglo XVII. A pesar de que se hayan cumplido más de 330 años desde la creación del primer museo universitario (Ashmolean Museum, 1683) en la Universidad de Oxford, los museos universitarios siguen siendo los grandes desconocidos, tanto dentro como fuera de la comunidad académica universitaria. El patrimonio universitario se ha definido en muchas ocasiones como desconocido, disperso, inaccesible y oculto, dentro de las instituciones académicas universitarias. La dificultad la seguimos encontrando, tanto en la accesibilidad como en la visibilidad. Esta propuesta surge tras mi investigación predoctoral que lleva por título “Museos y colecciones universitarias de arte en el ámbito iberoamericano”, centrado en un total de 84 ejemplos de museos y colecciones universitarias de arte en 49 universidades  de diez países: Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, España, México, Portugal, Perú y Venezuela. A través de esta propuesta, pretendemos mostrar cuales son los recurso digitales que se utilizan para la gestión y difusión del patrimonio universitario en el ámbito iberoamericano. Especialmente nos centraremos en el patrimonio universitario artístico. Mediante este recorrido encontramos repositorios, inventarios y otros recursos digitales como museos virtuales. Todos estos ejemplos comparten la necesidad de ser visibles en la sociedad para cumplir con los objetivos de cualquier otra tipología museística, respondiendo así a la definición de museo. En definitiva, a través de estos recursos, se pretende generar una ventana más de conocimiento a través de la evolución digital.

Motiv-ARCHE es una plataforma que incrementa la motivación de los jóvenes por el patrimonio gracias a la co-creación y al uso de la Realidad Aumentada. Con esta aplicación los usuarios pueden añadir a los elementos patrimoniales nuevos contenidos en distintos formatos que se visualizan con Realidad Aumentada. Los objetivos de Motiv-ARCHE son motivar a los jóvenes en el aprendizaje del patrimonio cultural y natural, haciéndolo más atractivo y accesible, facilitar la co-creación de contenidos patrimoniales tanto por los jóvenes como por los gestores patrimoniales, y potenciar la comunicación y la interacción entre la sociedad y las entidades patrimonio. Es conveniente proporcionar a los expertos del Patrimonio Cultural y Natural un entorno de trabajo que les facilite la creación de experiencias en las que se incluyan elementos de Realidad Aumentada y que éstas se puedan adaptar a las diferentes características de los usuarios que las usen. En este artículo se presenta Motiv-ARCHE y las pruebas piloto de co-creación de contenidos realizadas por expertos en patrimonio en el Museu d’Història Medieval de la Cúria-Presó, s.XIV de Castelló d'Empúries; en el Parc Natural del Cap de Creus; y en el Museu Municipal de Tossa de Mar. Estas pruebas se han desarrollado dentro del proyecto PECT "Costa Brava i Pirineu de Girona: Natura, Cultura i Intel·ligència en xarxa" en colaboración con los responsables de las mencionadas instituciones patrimoniales. Título de la ponencia – Running head 2022, Editorial Universitat Politècnica de València La aplicación de la metodología de la investigación basada en el diseño (IBD) nos permite a partir de los resultados de la experiencia presentada proponer mejoras en MOTIV-ARCHE.Más información en https://motivarch.online/
Los géneros textuales digitales en los museos: el macrogénero 'web' en una serie de museos públicos andaluces
Authors: España Pérez Sergio , Medina Reguera Ana
Published: October 2022

En este trabajo describimos algunos géneros textuales digitales propios de los museos. Desde la Museología son pocos los estudios sobre géneros textuales y lenguaje museístico. Por su parte, desde la Lingüística y la Traductología tampoco abundan los estudios sobre los museos y sus formas de producción textual. En nuestros trabajos anteriores hemos abordado el estudio de los géneros textuales museísticos. El ámbito digital ha supuesto una transformación tanto para los museos y su forma de comunicar como para la sociedad en general, y se han producido nuevas formas de diseminar la información museística. En este trabajo hemos abordado algunos de los géneros digitales asociados a una serie de museos, en concreto hemos estudiado una muestra de museos públicos andaluces gestionados por la Consejería de Cultura y Patrimonio Histórico de la Junta de Andalucía. Nuestro trabajo abordará las virtudes y las carencias de estos textos, centrándonos en el macrogénero 'web', que ha gozado de avances en los últimos años, pero que puede ser susceptible de una serie de mejoras para contribuir a una de las funciones vitales de los museos: comunicar con los públicos.
Estrategias de gamificación digital para promover el aprendizaje basado en la experiencia sobre preservación y curaduría en museos
Authors: Andrez Bárbara , Pinto Maria Manuela , Menino Homem Paula
Published: October 2022

Como espacios de aprendizaje y fruición, los museos están constantemente adaptando sus contenidos y acciones para hacer frente a la dinámica de las transformaciones sociales. La introducción de nuevas tecnologías digitales en los espacios de exhibición permitió a los equipos del museo comunicar sus colecciones e interactuar con sus visitantes de formas muy diferenciadas. El fenómeno de la gamificación y sus estrategias implícitas plantean la posibilidad de mejorar el compromiso entre personas, objetos e información asociada, y puede permitir a los museos establecer nuevos enfoques y resultados. El trabajo a presentar forma parte de un programa de investigación de doctorado centrado en el desarrollo de experiencias gamificadas y sus implicaciones en el proceso infocomunicacional y de aprendizaje no formal en museos, específicamente aplicado a un grupo de visitantes entre 8 a 12 años. El objetivo es compartir reflexiones y consideraciones sobre el despliegue de un prototipo digital gamificado en un museo en Portugal, con el fin de mejorar el conocimiento sobre las colecciones y la conciencia sobre el trabajo entre bastidores invisible, complejo e interdisciplinario rico de los equipos del museo, que se ocupan de la curaduría y gestión de riesgos para asegurar su preservación, así como su fruición incluyente. Basándonos en literatura relevante y en marcos de gamificación identificados, nos enfocamos en la descripción de posibles soluciones gamificadas con la yuxtaposición de objetivos de aprendizaje y posibles resultados. Como parte de un enfoque exploratorio, pretendemos enumerar las mejores prácticas para cumplir con los requisitos educativos iniciales, así como proceder con posibles soluciones para responder a ellos. También pretendemos fusionar estas reflexiones con inferencias plausibles de motivaciones intrínsecas y extrínsecas en grupos y comprender cómo pueden influir en las acciones deseadas y en toda la experiencia de aprendizaje gamificada.
Gamificación significativa aplicada a la educación patrimonial: Proyecto Mensajes del Cerro.
Authors: Villalpando Aranda Ana Marcela
Published: October 2022

La Gamificación (Empleo de elementos de diseño lúdico en entornos no lúdicos) es un anglicismo que tiene aproximadamente una década desarrollándose en el ámbito educativo. Dicha práctica se vio frenada en un inicio por sus tendencias conductistas de sistemas de recompensas físicas, factor que chocó sobre todo con el presupuesto del contexto de la educación patrimonial. Corrigiendo esa situación surgió la Gamificación Significativa. La cual funciona de una forma más accesible hacia la educación patrimonial, ya que se enfoca en crear interacciones sociales y en la obtención de habilidades útiles para las/os usuarios en vez de las recompensas físicas. Sustentada por la Teoría Positivista de Autodeterminación de (Deci & Ryan, 2010) y adaptada a bibliotecas y museos por Scott Nicholson. La gamificación significativa aplicada en museos es una herramienta fundamental para el diseño de actividades de educación patrimonial y acción cultural de la actual realidad posmoderna, ahora potenciada por la pandemia. Una realidad dicotómica en la que por un lado la brecha digital ha dañado la comunicación entre varios museos y sus comunidades y por el otro una realidad digital dominada por el zapping, en la cual prestar atención o mantenerse motivada/o es todo un reto para la mayoría, ante el constante bombardeo de información que recibimos. Razón por la cual los museos necesitan abrirse a distintas herramientas y metodologías de interacción significativa con sus públicos.Ante esta “nueva realidad” surge el proyecto de educación patrimonial “Mensajes del cerro”, programa piloto de educación patrimonial que se diseña desde la gamificación significativa accesible, fruto del proyecto de tesis doctoral titulado: LA GAMIFICACIÓN SIGNIFICATIVA EN LA EDUCACIÓN PATRIMONIAL: ESTUDIO DE CASOS Y DESARROLLO DE UNA METODOLOGÍA EN LOS CONTEXTOS DE CANARIAS (ESPAÑA) Y SONORA (MÉXICO), investigación que se lleva a cabo desde la Universidad de La Laguna dentro del departamento de Arte y Humanidades.En este proyecto se buscó diseñar una metodología basada en la gamificación significativa que pudiera adaptarse a los recursos tecnológicos de ambos países. Donde las dinámicas, mecánicas y componentes invitan a las/os participantes a representar, reflexionar y compartir la identidad cultural de su comunidad a la vez que se generen lazos sociales. Para poder evaluar la eficacia de los distintos tipos de recompensas: físicas y significativas.
