Published: June 2021

A pesar de que la tecnología ha evolucionado con el pasar del tiempo y, desde que la informática comenzó a introducirse en la educación, muchos docentes no sólo no conocen mucho acerca de las nuevas tecnologías, sino que tampoco saben cómo manejar un computador o navegar en internet con un grado de conocimiento básico. Esto realmente se aprende mientras, otros docentes se capacitan para tener conocimiento aceptable en este campo y dan sus primeros pasos, y otros son además capaces de adquirir distintas formas y emplear las herramientas de información de modo creativo y de acuerdo a sus necesidades y las de sus alumnos. La incorporación de las tecnologías en la educación es un llamado que hace la sociedad y surge de la necesidad cada vez mayor del uso de la información. Se establecen así algunas características resaltantes de las TIC que permiten seleccionarlas como medio de instrucción y hasta en ocasiones como un ambiente ideal para el desarrollo del acto educativo, dependiendo del tipo de tecnología que se utilice. En este documento se establece una serie de puntos en las que se recogen las ventajas y posibilidades que las TIC aportan con su inserción a la formación favoreciendo el aprendizaje independiente, nuevas posibilidades para la orientación y facilitar la formación permanente en el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje del contexto universitario ecuatoriano. La técnica utilizada se encuentra enmarcado en una investigación documental, basada en una metodología descriptiva donde el criterio de varios autores se lo utiliza para realizar el contexto de este artículo.

Authors:   Wolfson Institute of Preventive Medicine, Queen Mary University of London, Simonet Cristina , Noyce Alastair ,   Wolfson Institute of Preventive Medicine, Queen Mary University of London
Published: June 2021

Mild Parkinsonian Signs (MPS) describe a spectrum that exists between the expected motor decline of normal aging and a more serious motor deterioration resulting from Parkinson’s disease (PD) and neurodegeneration. Although MPS are a feature of the prodromal stage of PD, their formal definition is unclear and still relies somewhat on conventional clinical criteria for PD. This review will summarise the early motor features of PD and methods of assessment, from conventional clinical scales to advances in quantitative measures. Finally, the boundaries of motor decline as part of normal aging and pathological neurodegeneration will be discussed.

Published: June 2021

ABSTRACT
In recent years, the application of sol-gel science to industrial polymer research has offered advancements in rubber technology. The use of sol-gel–synthesized materials for the development of highly reinforced rubber composites is the most commonly adopted and popular method exercised by rubber scientists. This article comprehensively reviews the recent progress regarding preparation and properties of sol-gel–synthesized nanoparticles-based rubber composites. The pragmatic consequences of sol-gel–synthesized nanoparticles in rubber compounds are systematically described through rheological, mechanical, and thermal properties. Emphatic focus is given to understanding the reinforcement mechanism of rubber composites by the use of sol-gel–derived alkoxide silica as filler. The properties of rubber nanocomposites are usually dependent on the dispersion of sol-gel–synthesized nanoparticles into the rubber matrix. The results reviewed from prolific studies suggested that sol-gel science has tremendous potential to develop high performance rubber nanocomposites for future industrial application.
SYNERGISTIC MAGNETORHEOLOGICAL NR–NBR ELASTOMER BLEND WITH ELECTROLYTIC IRON PARTICLES
Authors: Alam Md Najib , Kumar Vineet , Ryu Sang-Ryeoul , Ko Tae Jo , Lee Dong-Joo , Choi Jungwook 
Published: June 2021

ABSTRACT
This article presents the development of a new kind of magnetorheological elastomer blend made with natural rubber, acrylonitrile–butadiene rubber (NR-NBR), and electrolytic iron particles through solution mixing. The compressive stress and elastic modulus of the composites in the isotropic and anisotropic states of the filler were studied. A unique study of the filler distribution and filler orientation mechanism was proposed from the compressive properties and scanning electron microscopy. A strong improvement in the elastic modulus of the NR–NBR blend from isotropic to anisotropic change was achieved as compared with NR and NBR in single-rubber composites. The filler content in the anisotropic magnetorheological elastomers was optimized by measuring the field-dependent elastic modulus in the presence of an externally applied magnetic field. The blend rubber composites showed better sensitivity in the presence of a magnetic field than the NR and NBR composites did. The improvement might be due to the better filler orientation and strong adhesion of filler particles by the NR phase in the blend matrix. The new elastomer blends may have applications in active dampers, vibrational absorption, and automotive bushings.
NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE IDENTIFIABILITY OF ELASTOMER MECHANICAL PROPERTIES BY NANO-INDENTATION AND SHAPE-MANIFOLD APPROACH
Authors: Ezzaamari Oumaima , Le Quilliec Guénhaël , Lacroix Florian , Méo Stéphane 
Published: June 2021

ABSTRACTVarious research is covering instrumented nano-indentation in the literature. However, studies on this characterization test remain limited when it comes to the local mechanical behavior of elastomeric materials. The application of nano-indentation on these materials is a difficult task given their complex mechanical and structural characteristics. We try to overcome these experimental limitations and find an effective numerical approach for local mechanical characterization of hyper-elastic materials. For such needs, we carried out a numerical study based on model reduction and shape manifold approach to investigate the parameters identification of different hyper-elastic constitutive laws by using instrumented indentation. Similarly, we studied the influence of the indenter geometry, the friction coefficient variation, and finally the indented material height effect. To this end, we constructed a reduced order model through a design of experiments by proper orthogonal decomposition combined with the kriging interpolation method.
SULFUR DISPERSION QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS IN ELASTOMERIC TIRE FORMULATIONS BY USING HIGH RESOLUTION X-RAY COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY

Published: June 2021

ABSTRACT
Good dispersion of compounded ingredients in a rubber formulation is important for mechanical performance. After mixing, certain materials can remain undispersed within the rubber matrix, which could lead to critical flaws, influencing performance according to the Griffith failure criteria. High resolution X-ray computed tomography (XCT) offers a unique opportunity to measure phase domain size and distributions. Fillers such as carbon black or silica can be differentiated from sulfur or zinc oxide, providing an opportunity to determine dispersion characteristics of the various phases. The XCT technique has become an important characterization tool for three-dimensional and higher dimension material science due to the availability of polychromatic micro-focus X-ray sources and efficient high spatial resolution detectors with superior scintillators. High resolution XCT provides very rich data quantifying mixing efficiency of particulates in a matrix, such as insoluble sulfur or silica particles in rubber. Imaging with X-rays provides attenuation, phase, or scattering contrast and will prove to be a critical method for evaluating the field of rubber crosslinking, considering realistic environments in situ. This paper highlights methodology development and validation and provides insight on the dispersion of polymeric (insoluble) sulfur in rubber formulations. Dispersion assessment is compared using three techniques: high resolution XCT, population survival analysis in tensile testing, and optical microscopy.

Published: June 2021

Background Studies of the behavior of blood donors suggest that the examination of their incentives and reported barriers could be utilized in designing targeted recruiting strategies and awareness-raising campaigns. Methodology Data was collected via a questionnaire based on the Health Belief Model (HBM), aimed to examine reported incentives, limitations, benefits, and self-efficacy of 261 blood donors at Thriasio General Hospital from January 1 to March 1, 2020, after required permission provided. The analysis was performed by the use of the SPSS statistical software. In addition, a Greek translation of the K6+ distress scale was provided. Results Our sample consisted of 261 blood donors, the majority of which were men (88.5%), 40-50 years old (36.4%), high school graduates (49.4%), and married (53.3%). Heightened awareness of increased blood needs and blood shortages was mentioned. 92.8% of respondents believe that blood donation is an act of contribution to society or beneficial for their health (86.6%). The limited working hours of blood donation services are the main obstacle mentioned by the participants (32.8%), while 80.7% emphasized the need for public information campaigns. Based on the K6 scale answers score, most participants are classified in the intermediate-risk category for Serious Mental Illness (SMI). Conclusion The study of beliefs and incentives of blood donors is a critical factor in developing an effective recruiting strategy in a volunteering frame. Public information campaigns regarding the blood donation process and reminders aiming at the return of blood donors after the necessary time interval could facilitate this effort.
Moving Towards a Client-Centred Approach to Legal Advice: Examining the Potential of Qualitative Empirical Research to Explore Empowerment in a University Hosted Interdisciplinary Student Run Clinic
Authors: Strevens Caroline , Roddis Jenny , Ryder Isobel 
Published: June 2021

This paper applies the notion of empowerment to clients seeking legal advice. We advocate for the adoption of a different approach to client care in the legal setting modelled on that adopted in the UK by the NHS in healthcare. We argue that moving towards a client-centred approach to legal advice giving may help to provide a possible solution to the lack of public funding for legal advice by enabling more clients to take more personal action to manage their legal issues than at present. This article explores the potential for the use of qualitative research approaches - widely used in health research to understand the perspective of patients - in a law nursing clinical setting. Specifically, it will consider how qualitative research can be used to seek out and understand clients’ viewpoints and particularly to explore how people can be empowered to make sense of their health and wellbeing and their legal needs, when informed by legal and health advice. Furthermore, it will consider how qualitative research can be used to evaluate clinical legal education provision in Law Schools and their efficacy, and in particular to have such evaluations informed by the narrative of clinic clients’ viewpoints. The article will consider how the findings of such research methods can be used to inform and develop legal and clinical practice, with a view to improving professional service delivery and potentially establishing a different holistic approach to client care approaches in the legal profession. The University of Portsmouth will host an interdisciplinary (Law and Nursing) student clinic, with the aim of providing educational opportunities together with legal and health advice to some of the most vulnerable people in the local community. An innovative research programme that will run in tandem with the clinic will explore the relationship between motivation, well-being and empowerment.
Clinical Legal Education in Nigeria: Envisioning the Future
Authors: Bamgbose Oludayo 
Published: June 2021

Clinical Legal Education (CLE) as an educational initiative is designed to allow law schools to meet emerging practice-based needs which the traditional legal education framework fails to address. Although CLE only started in the early 1970s in Africa, it has become widely implemented across law institutions in Africa, following European and American examples. CLE in Africa started in South Africa; where, prior to 1972 there were no formal CLE programs as South African law schools mainly focused on private law rather than public law. Another factor affecting the uptake of CLE was that law school courses were generally offered on a part-time basis, which implied that law students could be engaged in personal activities that prevented them from involvement in other important law school-related programs. The discriminatory nature of the law during the South African apartheid regime also impeded access to justice in poor communities. In light of this developing need, the South African CLE program began informally at the University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, and formally at the University of Cape Town, in the early 1970s. A 1973 Ford Foundation-sponsored event gave the impetus needed to begin the establishment of law clinics across other institutions in South Africa. Within the Nigerian context, CLE was officially launched in 2005 with four pilot clinics. Today, many Nigerian law faculties and the Nigerian law school campuses now have law clinics in their respective institutions due to the advantages associated with their adoption in the contemporary era. With Nigeria’s exit from the military regime only five years earlier, CLE was embraced by some law faculties because of its potential to increase democratic practices among the people, foster access to justice , and improve the quality of legal scholarships available to law students. Fifteen years after the launch of CLE in Nigeria, it is now essential to take stock, to ascertain if the program is still on course and to consider what the future may hold. It is against this background that this article is structured in three segments: firstly, examining the Nigerian CLE journey to date; secondly, considering future developments; and lastly, concluding with recommendations.
