The Universitat Jaume I de Castelló will invest nearly 130,000 euros in three research projects to promote the transfer of their results to society. This action, 'UJI.>LAB Impulso', which is part of the UJI's Research Plan, aims to support projects that are close to being implemented, in order to accompany them in their development process and identify opportunities for collaboration with economic sectors. The call for proposals for 2023 includes support for three initiatives in the fields of education, industry and pharmacology.  
  
The RE-COACH project "**Programa de aprendizaje interactivo: eliminando el error de inversión en la resolución de problemas verbales algebraicos"** [Interactive learning programme: elimination of the inversion error in the solution of verbal algebraic problems], directed by Noelia Ventura Campos, a researcher at the Department of Education and Specific Didactics, is aimed at the educational sector, specifically at the secondary education level, and aims to solve a learning problem, the so-called 'inversion error', through a video game.

The inversion error occurs when the statement of a verbal problem of additive and multiplicative comparison is not correctly translated into a mathematical equation. For example, if the algebraic representation of the statement 'there are 6 times more students (E) than teachers (P) in this university' is required, the error would be to assume that the number of teachers is 6 times the number of students (6 - E = P), when it is the other way round. This implies reversing the order of the letters/variables before the correct answer 6 - P = E, hence the name 'inversion error'.

The video game has several advantages: it is specifically designed to solve this error in an educational context; it uses elements of gamification such as level completion; and it combines research on learning with neuroscience to provide a scientific basis for the effectiveness of the video game. It includes neural tests with magnetic resonance imaging to assess its impact and validity, and to study the competence acquired in eliminating this phenomenon.  
  
The project **"Calentador de aire por microondas"** [Microwave air heater], led by researcher Vicente Sanz Solana of the Department of Chemical Engineering and the Agustín Escardino Institute of Ceramic Technology, aims to build an industrial microwave air heating module based on converting electromagnetic energy into thermal energy (using a susceptor) and transferring this to the air.

The technology, which has been demonstrated on a laboratory scale and for which a patent has been filed, has three advantages over existing systems: it has achieved an overall efficiency of more than 60%; the air outlet temperature is higher than 700ºC; and it does not use natural gas combustion. It was developed at the Institute of Ceramic Technology by Professors Sanz and Vilches, with advice on electromagnetic aspects from the Applied Electromagnetism Group (GEA) of the Universitat Politècnica de València.

Air heating systems are used in many industrial processes, such as ceramics, where they are used intensively. The new technology is particularly targeted at this sector, which consumes 12% of Spain's natural gas and emits 8.4 million tonnes of CO₂ into the atmosphere each year. Its use would allow companies to remain competitive in the face of the need to reduce emissions and would also free them from fluctuating energy prices, which currently account for 25% of their costs.

The project **"Evaluación de inhibidores de proteasoma como candidatos a fármacos"** [Evaluation of proteasome inhibitors as drug candidates], led by researcher Florenci González Adelantado from the Department of Inorganic and Organic Chemistry, is part of a European patent application in the drafting phase related to proteasome inhibitors, a therapeutic target for cancer, and began as part of the research for the thesis of doctoral student Lledó Bou Iserte, with the preparation of six compounds that were found to be very active in fluorescence assays on the target.

The aim now is to study their pharmacokinetic parameters, Adme (adsorption, metabolism and extrusion) and toxicity, to see if these compounds could become potential drugs against some types of cancer, such as multiple myeloma, and if they could be of interest for their use in chemotherapy, given their high activity against the immunoproteasome. The project is supported by the Max Planck Institute in Germany.
