Installations for play and community art : an artistic and intercultural mediation experience with families from the Chinese community of Madrid
El estudio se basa en el relato compartido y la reflexión visual-textual de una experiencia realizada en el Centro de Cultura Contemporánea Condeduque de Madrid con grupos familiares pertenecientes a la comunidad china de esta ciudad. Su celebración fue posible desde la invitación de Xirou Xiao, mediadora cultural y directora de Tian Ma Xing Kong, proyecto ideado para tejer redes con organizaciones vecinales del entorno próximo y concretar una práctica de mediación artística contextualizada en una institución sociocultural que favorece acciones comunitarias en su programa. El objetivo es pues, narrar y significar una experiencia de mediación artística e intercultural desde la participación de familias mixtas (chino-españolas) y la colaboración de estudiantes universitarios de Educación Social. Fue concebida como acción de arte comunitario enmarcado en la propuesta originaria de las Instalaciones de Juego, un contexto lúdico y espacio intersubjetivo de relación configurado con unos objetos específicos ofrecidos en un espacio transformable inspirado en la estética del arte contemporáneo. El relato del acontecimiento y la consiguiente propuesta investigadora se presentan mediante la documentación construida a través de narrativas de imagen-palabra que reconocen y otorgan sentido a las acciones simbólicas y relacionales que sucedieron en el encuentro como manifestación generadora de metáforas de vida con otros.The study is based on the shared story and visual-textual reflection on an experience carried out at the Condeduque Center for Contemporary Culture in Madrid with family groups belonging to the Chinese community of this city. Its celebration was possible at the invitation of Xirou Xiao, cultural mediator and director of Tian Ma Xing Kong, a project designed to weave networks with neighbourhood organisations in the immediate environment and to carry out a contextualised artistic mediation in a socio-cultural institution that favours community actions in its programme. The objective is to narrate and signify an experience of artistic and intercultural mediation from the participation of mixed families (Chinese Spanish) and the collaboration of university students of Social Education. It was conceived as a community art action framed in the original proposal of the Installations for play, a playful context and intersubjective space of relationship configured with specific objects offered in a transformable space inspired by the aesthetics of contemporary art. The account of the event and the following research proposal are presented through documentation constructed through image-word narratives that recognize and give meaning to the symbolic and relational actions that took place in the encounter as a manifestation that generates metaphors of life with others
Possibilities of theater in early childhood education : a systematic review 2018-2024
Este estudio analiza el abordaje del teatro en la educación infantil a través de una revisión sistemática exploratoria de la literatura científica publicada entre 2018-2024. La metodología empleada fue cualitativa con diseño documental, utilizando bases de datos como Dialnet, EBSCO, Scopus, Taylor & Francis y Science Direct. De 237 artículos iniciales, 23 cumplieron con los criterios establecidos en la declaración PRISMA. Los resultados evidencian una pre-dominancia de estudios cualitativos (78.3%), principalmente en español (43.5%), con mayor producción en Estados Unidos (21.7%), Brasil y Ecuador (17.4% cada uno). Se identificaron beneficios significativos del teatro en el desarrollo infantil, incluyendo mejoras en autoestima, competencias socioemocionales y aprendizaje activo. La distribución temporal muestra un pico en 2022 (30.4%) y una tendencia fluctuante en los años estudiados. Las conclusiones destacan el potencial del teatro como herramienta educativa integral, aunque se evidencia la necesidad de establecer un marco epistemológico más robusto para su implementación en contextos educativos.This study analyzes the approach to theater in early childhood education through an exploratory systematic review of scientific literature published between 2018-2024.

Discovery of materials for solar thermochemical hydrogen combining machine learning, computational chemistry, experiments and system simulations
This study integrates first-principles calculations, computational chemistry, system simulations,
experiments, and machine learning to identify redox perovskite oxides for solar thermochemical
hydrogen production. Using two random forest regressions and one classification model, the
approach predicts materials" stability and the enthalpy of oxygen vacancy formation (Deltaho), a critical
property for selecting materials for thermochemical hydrogen production. B-site composition
significantly influences Deltaho predictions. The methodology led to the discovery of
Ba0.875Ca0.125Zr0.875Mn0.125O3 (BCZM), which reduces at temperatures up to 250 °C lower than CeO2
and is expected to outperform other perovskites in water splitting. However, CeO2 remains the
benchmark for solar thermochemical hydrogen production. The combined use of machine learning
and DFT calculations refined 4ho predictions and provided insights into experimental results. This
framework not only enhances database creation for material screening but also establishes a novel
approach for perovskite discovery for hydrogen production applications
Role of calpains in uremia-related functional and structural muscle changes: protective effect of calpastatin overexpression
20 p.Sarcopenia, the progressive loss of muscle mass and strength, is a common complication in
patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This condition arises from a combination of
factors including reduced physical activity, insufficient protein intake, hyperphosphatemia,
chronic inflammation, and uremia itself; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms
remain poorly understood. Proteolysis in skeletal muscle is primarily controlled by the
ubiquitin–proteasome system, autophagy–lysosome system, and calpains (CAPNs) cysteine proteases, which degrade structural proteins and mediate cell signaling. This study
aims to investigate the role of CAPNs in CKD-associated muscle deterioration. CKD was
induced in mice through an adenine-rich diet for 2, 4 and 6 weeks. The involvement of CAPNs in CKD-related sarcopenia was assessed using mice that overexpressed the
CAPNs endogenous inhibitor, calpastatin (CAST). Gastrocnemius muscle strength, structural integrity, and function were evaluated. Mice with CKD showed elevated CAPNs,
particularly CAPN2, expression and activity in the gastrocnemius, in parallel with significant muscle deterioration, including strength loss, structural damage, and impaired muscle
performance. Overexpression of CAST prevented muscle strength loss, improved muscle
function and structure without affecting renal function, and reversed fibrosis, inflammation
and adipogenesis expression markers. Targeting CAPN2 could be a promising therapeutic
strategy to mitigate muscle damage and improve physical performance in CKD patients.Ministerio de Economía y CompetitividadInstituto de Salud Carlos IIIUnión EuropeaComunidad de MadridUniversidad de Alcal
Efectividad de la terapia miofascial combinada con educación terapéutica en mujeres con disfunción sexual
29 p.Introducción: la dispareunia (dolor en las relaciones sexuales con penetración)
constituye un problema de salud que afecta negativamente en la calidad de vida, la salud
mental y la satisfacción sexual en las mujeres. Es un problema multifactorial, pero a nivel
musculoesquelético, el síndrome de dolor miofascial se sitúa en el punto de mira como
una causa determinante, relacionándose con mayor dolor, disminución de la lubricación
y la excitación. Pese a los avances en investigación todavía existen limitaciones para
determinar si el tratamiento miofascial es efectivo pues los estudios presentan
limitaciones metodológicas.
Objetivo: determinar si una intervención miofascial multimodal combinada con
educación terapéutica es más eficaz para reducir el dolor durante las relaciones sexuales
con penetración, en comparación con educación terapéutica exclusivamente.
Métodos: se realizará un ensayo clínico aleatorizado con 80 mujeres. Se realizará una
valoración inicial de las participantes y 2 valoraciones (una postintervención y otra a los
6 meses). Las participantes se asignarán aleatoriamente a dos grupos: el grupo
intervención (n=40) recibirá un programa de tratamiento basado en 8 sesiones divididas
quincenalmente en el que recibirán terapia miofascial combinada con educación
terapéutica; y el grupo control (n=40) recibirá el mismo número de sesiones sólo de
educación terapéutica. Como variables resultado se recabará el dolor en las relaciones
sexuales (a través de la escala EVA), la función sexual global, la lubricación (ambas a
través del FSFI) y la presencia de puntos gatillo miofasciales.Introduction: Dyspareunia (pain during penetrative intercourse) is a health problema
that negatively affects women´s quality of life, mental health, and sexual satisfaction. It
is a multifactorial problema, but at the musculoskeletal level, myofascial pain síndrome
is being targeted as a determining cause, associated with increased pain and decreased
lubrication and arousal. Despite advances in research, there are still limitations to
determining the effectiveness of myofascial treatment due to methodological limitations.
Objective: To determine whether a multimodal myofascial intervention combined with
therapeutic education is more effective in reducing pain during penetrative intercourse
compared to therapeutic education alone.
Methods: a randomized clinical trial will be conducted with 80 women. Participants
will undergo an initial evaluation and two assessments will be conducted (one postintervention
and one at 6 months). Participants will be randomly assigned to two
groups: the intervention group (n=40) will receive a treatment program based on eight
sessions divided every two weeks, in which they will receive myofascial therapy
combined with therapeutic education; and the control group (n=40) will receive the
same number of sessions of therapeutic education alone. Outcome variables will be
measured: pain during sexual intercourse (using the VAS scale), overall sexual
function, lubrication (both using the FSFI), and the presence of myofascial trigger
points.Máster Universitario en Fisioterapia en salud de la mujer y salud pélvica (M211
Trade-offs among restored ecosystem functions are context-dependent in Mediterranean-type regions
16 p.Global biodiversity hotspots, including Mediterranean-type ecosystems worldwide, are highly threatened by global change that alters biodiversity, ecosystem functions, and services. Some restoration activities enhance ecosystem functions by reintroducing plant species based on known relationships between plant traits and ecosystem processes. Achieving multiple functions across different site conditions, however, requires understanding how abiotic factors like climate and soil, along with plant assemblages, influence ecosystem functions, including their trade-offs and synergies. We used the ModEST ecosystem simulation model, which integrates carbon, water, and nutrient processes with plant traits, to assess the relationships between restored plant assemblages and ecosystem functions in Mediterranean-type climates and soils. We investigated whether maximised carbon increment, water use efficiency, and nitrogen use efficiency, along with their trade-offs and synergies, varied across different abiotic contexts. Further, we asked whether assemblages that maximised functions varied across environments and among these functions. We found that maximised ecosystem carbon increment and nitrogen use efficiency occurred under moist, warm conditions, while water use efficiency peaked under drier conditions. Generally, the assemblage that maximised one function differed from those for other maximised functions. Synergies were rare, except between water and nitrogen use efficiencies in loam soils across most climates. Trade-offs among maximised functions were common, varying in strength with abiotic context and plant assemblages, and were more pronounced in sandy loam soils compared to clay-rich soils. Our findings suggest that due to variation in abiotic conditions within and across Mediterranean-type regions at the global scale, site-specific plant assemblages are required to maximise ecosystem functions. Thus, lessons from a single site cannot be transferred to another site, even where the same plant functional types are available for restoration. Our simulation results offer valuable insights into potential ecosystem performance under specific abiotic conditions following restoration with particular plant functional types, thereby informing local restoration efforts.German Research Foundation (DFG)Comunidad de MadridUniversidad de AlcaláMinisterio de Ciencia e Innovació
La educación emocional como herramienta para las familias de alumnos con necesidades educativas especiales. Diseño de un plan de intervención
Hoy en día vivimos en una sociedad cada vez más diversa en la que la educación
inclusiva y la valoración positiva de la diversidad son temas que están a la orden del día.
Sin embargo, es menos tratado el tema de las familias con hijos que presentan
diversidad, las consecuencias que implica en el contexto familiar tener un hijo con
necesidades educativas especiales, y las necesidades tanto emocionales como sociales
que pueden surgir en ellas. Es por ello que en este trabajo, se elabora una propuesta que
ofrece herramientas, pautas de actuación y actividades de apoyo para los profesionales
que trabajan con familias de alumnos con necesidades educativas especiales, y para las
propias familias, para asegurar una verdadera inclusión de las mismas y trabajar el
aspecto emocional.Today we live in an increasingly diverse society in which inclusive education and the
positive valuation of diversity are the order of the day. However, the issue of families
with children with diversity, the consequences that having a child with special
educational needs implies in the family context, and the emotional and social needs that
may arise in them, is less addressed. That is why in this work, a proposal is elaborated
that offers tools, action guidelines and support activities for professionals who work
with families of students with special educational needs, and for the families
themselves, to ensure their true inclusion and to work on the emotional aspect.Máster Universitario en Atención a la Diversidad y Apoyos Educativos (M121
