Contemporary music and technology: An action-research in teacher 5 training
No full textEste artículo presenta una investigación-acción realizada en el marco de un proyecto de innovación educativa en una universidad española, cuyo objetivo principal es integrar la música contemporánea de forma activa a través de la interpretación y su relación con las tecnologías en la formación del profesorado. La investigación parte del problema detectado de la escasa o nula atención y presencia de estos contenidos en los planes de estudio de los grados de Maestro y de Educación Secundaria. Para abordar esta carencia, se diseña e implementa una acción estratégica basada en la interacción directa entre el alumnado universitario y artistas especializados en música contemporánea. La experiencia es conducida, documentada y analizada por las investigadoras participantes responsables del proyecto, a través de una metodología cualitativa, quienes participan de forma activa en las sesiones y recogen los datos mediante los instrumentos de observación participante, encuestas al alumnado y entrevistas semiestructuradas a los artistas. Los resultados evidencian un conocimiento previo limitado y una falta de habilidades para la interpretación y la didáctica de la música contemporánea, así como una mejora objetiva en el conocimiento de su valor pedagógico y cultural tras la implementación. Como conclusión, se destaca la eficacia de las metodologías activas y la implementación de una acción estratégica para introducir repertorios actuales en la formación docente, subrayando el impacto positivo del contacto directo con artistas como motor para el cambio de percepción y el desarrollo de nuevas competencias profesionalesThis article presents an action research project carried out within the framework of an educational
31 innovation project at a Spanish university, whose main objective is to actively integrate contemporary
32 music through performance and its relationship with technology in teacher training. The research stems
33 from the problem identified of the limited or non-existent attention and presence of these contents in the
34 curricula of teacher training and secondary education degrees. To address this shortcoming, a strategic
35 action is designed and implemented based on direct interaction between university students and artists
36 specializing in contemporary music. The experience is conducted, documented, and analyzed by the
37 participating researchers responsible for the project, using a qualitative methodology. They actively
38 participate in the sessions and collect data through participant observation, student surveys, and semi39 structured interviews with the artists. The results show limited prior knowledge and a lack of skills in the
40 performance and teaching of contemporary music, as well as an objective improvement in the
41 understanding of its pedagogical and cultural value after implementation. In conclusion, the effectiveness
42 of active methodologies and the implementation of a strategic action to introduce current repertoires into
43 teacher training is highlighted, emphasizing the positive impact of direct contact with artists as a driver for
44 changing perceptions and developing new professional skill
Structural variations in the trans-carboxylate/chlorido axis that impact the mode of action of Pt(ii) complexes
No full textThe design of trans-platinum(II) complexes marked a significant turning point in the development of unconventional anticancer metallodrugs. Compared to cisplatin, these complexes induce distinctly different cellular responses and are often active against cisplatin-resistant cell lines. In this study, we synthesized and fully characterized two new Pt(II) complexes, introducing one acetate (−OCOCH3) ligand (X) into the trans-PtXX’ axis, where X’ is either acetate or chlorido. We evaluated their cytotoxicity across a panel of malignant (Capan-1, B16, MCF7, HCT-116, CT26 and P31) and non-malignant (HaCaT, HUVEC, BEC, and MCF10A) cell lines, finding that the complex with only one acetate trans to a chlorido group is more active and selective than the complex with two acetates (X = X’). Furthermore, the two complexes differ from cisplatin in their cellular uptake route as well as mode of action by inducing cancer cell death via non-DNA-associated mechanismsThis research was funded by CTQ2015-68779-R and PID2019-106220RB-I00, granted by Agencia Estatal de Investigación from the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación and Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad.

Tuning the liquid crystal behavior of subphthalocyanines: Effects of substitution, chirality, and hydrogen bonding
No full textBowl-shaped aromatics that self-assemble into columnar liquid crystals (LCs) are key components for developing polarized semiconductors. However, progress in this field has been sluggish, as the limited set of available π-conjugated curved scaffolds has left structure-property relationships poorly understood. Herein the role that substitution pattern, substituent nature, and chirality play in the LC columnar organization of subphthalocyanines (SubPcs) is explored. Remarkably, it is revealed that enantiopure SubPcs exhibit a reduced tendency to form LC phases compared to their racemic counterparts, whereas higher substitution density increases flexibility within the columns, compromising coaxial alignment. Moreover, we find that the use of conformationally flexible, π-extended peripheral substituents enables efficient π-π stacking, and that the incorporation of hydrogen-bonding amide groups leads to highly stable mesophases with elevated melting points, although the mesophase remains at room temperature after thermal treatment. These trends are further rationalized through theoretical modeling. Overall, this work provides valuable synthetic and design guidelines for advancing bowl-shaped aromatics toward next-generation functional columnar liquid crystalsFinancial support from the Spanish MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and European Union NextGenerationEU/PRTR (TED2021-131255B-C43), MCIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033/ FEDER, UE (PID) (PID2023-151167NB-I00, PID2021-122882NBI00, PID2021-126132NB-I00 and PID2023-150255NB-I00), the Comunidad de Madrid and the Spanish State through the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan [‘‘Materiales Disruptivos Bidimensionales (2D)’’ (MAD2D-CM) (UAM1)-MRR Materiales Avanzados], the Gobierno de Aragón- FSE (E47_23Rresearch group), the Basque Government project IT1458-22, and the European Union through the Next Generation EUFunds is fully acknowledged.

The landscape of metropolitan suburbanization: the singlefamily home as a symbol of the Madrid urban area
No full textLa investigación plantea la clarificación de los paisajes residenciales madrileños de la primera
corona metropolitana, donde la vivienda unifamiliar, mediante una amplia variedad tipológica,
adquiere especial protagonismo. Este objetivo se aborda a través de una metodología diacrónica, con
dos referencias cronológicas: 1975 y 2024 que permiten entender la complejidad del fenómeno de la
suburbanización en estos últimos cincuenta años. Para identificar y cuantificar las viviendas unifamiliares
en ambos momentos se han empleado, por un lado, los censos de población y viviendas de 1991
y 2021 y, por otro lado, las bases de datos catastrales elaboradas por la Dirección General del Catastro.
El panorama se completa con la elaboración de una tipología de este modelo residencial, objeto de
promociones y tratamientos formales muy diversosThis research proposes the clarification of Madrid’s residential landscapes in the first metropolitan
area, where the single-family dwelling, through a wide typological variety, acquires special
prominence. This objective is approached through a diachronic methodology, with two chronological
references: 1975 and 2024, which allow us to understand the complexity of the suburbanization phenomenon
in the last fifty years. In order to identify and quantify the single-family dwellings in both
moments, the population and housing censuses of 1991 and 2021 and the cadastral databases elaborated
by the General Directorate of Cadastre have been used. The panorama is completed with the
elaboration of a typology of this residential model, used in various urban developments with very
different formal treatment

Exploring Services and Support for Credit-Mobile International Students
No full textAn increasing number of students are participating in international credit mobility and other short-term programs, and as a result, there is a growing demand for services to enhance their mobility experience. Yet with some exceptions (e.g., Almeida (2020)), there is a lack of literature exploring the services and support infrastructure demanded by credit-mobile students. Consequently, this research fills a critical gap by presenting the results of the first institutional survey as part of a European project, “Erasmus Careers”, examining inbound and outbound mobility services and support that institutions provide at the different stages of the international student lifecycle for credit-mobile students in a European context. The survey reached out to 80 institutions across Europe, yielding a robust response rate of 70%. The survey encompassed 25 questions, categorised into four sections: institutional particulars, services and support mechanisms, academic facilities, and teaching methodologies. Results show the broad spectrum of services and support that institutions extend to international credit-mobile students. Predominantly, the services offered relate to accommodation, language courses, and cultural engagement activities. Moreover, the survey indicates that institutions provide support at various stages of the experience of these international students, including pre-departure, arrival, and during their stay. Additionally, the survey reveals that both local and international students generally enjoy equal access and opportunities in most institutions when accessing university facilities or support services. However, the survey also highlights areas where institutions can enhance their services and support for credit-mobile students. Notably, there is room for improvement in providing support during the students’ stay, including academic support, as well as mental and physical health services. These research findings can serve as a guide for institutions seeking to improve their support structures for credit-mobile students and as a basis for policymakers to formulate policies that bolster student mobility across Europ
