UBUMonitor: An Open-Source Desktop Application for Visual E-Learning Analysis with Moodle
Get PDFAn inherent requirement of teaching using online learning platforms is that the teacher
must analyze student activity and performance in relation to course learning objectives. Therefore,
all e-learning environments implement a module to collect such information. Nevertheless, these
raw data must be processed to perform e-learning analysis and to help teachers arrive at relevant
decisions for the teaching process. In this paper, UBUMonitor is presented, an open-source desktop
application that downloads Moodle (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment)
platform data, so that student activity and performance can be monitored. The application organizes
and summarizes these data in various customizable charts for visual analysis. The general features
and uses of UBUMonitor are described, as are some approaches to e-teaching improvements, through
real case studies. These include the analysis of accesses per e-learning object, statistical analysis of
grading e-activities, detection of e-learning object configuration errors, checking of teacher activity,
and comparisons between online and blended learning profiles. As an open-source application,
UBUMonitor was institutionally adopted as an official tool and validated with several groups of
teachers at the Teacher Training Institute of the University of Burgos.This research was funded by the Consejería de Educación, Junta de Castilla y León to the Universidad de Burgos (grant number OL-2018-01) to support the development of on-line training co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund.

From Amadeo de Saboya to Beatriz Ximénez Cerdán: the pendant relicary of the the Holy Spirit donated to the Pilar Jeweler by the countess of Contamina and marquisa of Bárboles (1695)
Get PDFLa localización del testamento de Beatriz Ximénez Cerdán nos ha permitido identificar a la noble
dama aragonesa que entregó, en 1695, un pinjante relicario en forma de Espíritu Santo al Tesoro
de la Virgen del Pilar. La documentación pilarista solo nombraba la entrega de la joya por los
ejecutores testamentarios de la marquesa de Bárboles. La pieza fue confundida con un águila y
se ha considerado tradicionalmente como donación del rey Amadeo de Saboya. En el transcurso
de los siglos se perdió la ventana del viril donde había unas pinturas de devoción, que habrían
permitido redundar en su profundo significado simbólico. A día de hoy, todavía se conserva en
el Museo Pilarista.The location of the testament of Beatriz Ximénez Cerdán has allowed us to identify the noble
aragonese lady who donated, in 1695, a reliquary pendant in the shape of The Holy Spirit to the
treasury of the Virgen of The Pillar. The Pillarist documents just only mentioned the donation of
the jewel by the testamentary executors of the marquise of Bárboles. This jewel was mistaken for
an eagle and it has been considered a donation of the King Amadeo of Savoy. Over the centuries,
the window of the virile was lost, where there were some devotional paintings, which would
have allowed us to make to most of in its deep symbolic meaning. At the present time, it is still
preserved in the Museo of The Pillar.Este artículo se enmarca entre las iniciativas del Grupo de Investigación de Referencia ARTÍFICE (El significado de los programas artísticos y musicales en el Península Ibérica durante las Edades Media y Moderna), H10_20R del Gobierno de Aragón, I.

The theme of the martyrdom of Isaiah in the choir stalls of Plasencia cathedral (Cáceres)
Get PDFEl desmontaje de los sitiales altos de la catedral de Plasencia, con motivo de la restauración
realizada recientemente por el Instituto del Patrimonio Cultural de España, ha permitido rescatar
algunos fragmentos caídos que permanecían en una zona inaccesible. Con la recuperación de
estos elementos se ha podido realizar su reintegración y reubicar el tablero con la representación
del martirio de Isaías que estaba fuera de lugar y completar con ello el programa iconográfico del
conjunto catedralicio.The dismantling of the high honor seats of the cathedral of Plasencia due to the restoration carried
out recently by the Institute of Cultural Heritage of Spain, has made it possible to rescue some
fallen fragments that remained in an inaccessible area. With the recovery of these elements, it has
been possible to reintegrate them and relocate the panel with the representation of the martyrdom
of Isaiah that was out of place and thereby complete the iconographic program of the cathedral
complex
CMMSE: Analysis of order reduction when Lawson methods integrate nonlinear initial boundary value problems
Get PDFIn this paper a thorough analysis is carried out of the type of order reduction
that Lawson methods exhibit when used to integrate nonlinear initial boundary
value problems. In particular, we focus on nonlinear reaction-diffusion problems, and therefore, this study is important in a large number of practical
applications modeled by this type of nonlinear equations. A theoretical study of
the local and global error of the total discretization of the problem is carried out,
taking into account both, the error coming from the space discretization and
that due to the integration in time. These results are also corroborated by the
numerical experiments performed in this paper.Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación and Regional Development European Funds, Grant/Award Number: PGC2018-101443-B-I00; Junta de Castilla y León and Feder, Grant/Award Number: VA169P2

Towards a more sustainable campus, proposal of improvement through renewable energies implementation
No full textComunicación presentada en: EuroSun 2022 - ISES and IEA SHC Conference on Solar Energy for Buildings and Industry. 25-29 September 2022, Kassel, GermanyThe implementation of photovoltaic (PV) panels on building surfaces allows taking advantage of the building's energy potential through the distributed generation of electricity at the consumption point. Thus, electricity generation would be possible in remote areas, while avoiding transportation costs and electrical losses. This study analyzes the feasibility of installing PV panels in eleven buildings of the Universidad de Burgos. To achieve a correct implementation, possible shadows produced by nearby obstacles were avoided. Skelion, a plug-in incorporated in the image rendering software Sketchup, has been used. According to the results obtained, only two buildings do not offer good adequation to justify the photovoltaic installation.This research was funded by Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, grant number RTI2018-098900-B-I00 and Junta de Castilla y León, grant number INVESTUN/19/BU/0004 and INVESTUN/22/BU/0001.

European public prosecutor’s office versus OLAF. A proposal on the peculiar attribution of competences on investigations against legal persons
No full textEl presente trabajo tiene por objeto estudiar la competencia de la Fiscalía Europea en la investigación de conductas de fraude contra los intereses financieros comunitarios cometidas por personas jurídicas, al tiempo que efectuar una comparación con las funciones investigadoras correspondientes a la OLAF. Así, comenzaremos analizando la posible inclusión de las entidades en el ámbito de aplicación personal del nuevo órgano europeo de instrucción. Partiendo de ello, nos centraremos en examinar su competencia material, distinguiendo su alcance en función de si la conducta cometida por la entidad tiene la consideración de delito o de infracción administrativa, por haberse dado en un Estado defensor o no del principio societas delinquere potest. Se abordarán así las diferencias entre las investigaciones efectuadas por la Fiscalía Europea en causas delictivas y las acometidas por la OLAF en caso de infracciones administrativas. Finalizaremos con unas reflexiones en torno al obstáculo que supone para la conformación del Espacio Judicial Europeo la diferente atribución de competencias investigadoras a uno u otro órgano en función del país donde la persona jurídica haya desarrollado su actuación.El presente trabajo se ha realizado en el marco del proyecto de investigación del plan estatal “El Derecho Procesal civil y penal desde la perspectiva de la Unión Europea: la consolidación del Espacio de Libertad, Seguridad y Justicia” (Ref.

Will you support or oppose? The impact of region-of-origin bias on oppositional loyalty
No full textThis study analyzed two in-group bias variables (regional identification and ethnocentrism) and examined their rarely explored behavioral differences in triggering in-group support (brand defense) and out-group resistance (oppositional loyalty). Regional animosity was investigated as a moderating variable. Data were collected from 602 food and beverage buyers. Results indicated that both identification and ethnocentrism triggered brand defense, while only ethnocentrism induced oppositional loyalty. Brand defense mediated identification/ethnocentrism relationships with oppositional loyalty. Animosity moderated model relationships with oppositional loyalty. Oppositional loyalty and brand defense are also explored as consequences of place-of-origin constructs, enriching the literature and examining unexplored relationships in this context.Junta de Castilla y Leó
Palaeoecology of the Southern chamois from Valdegoba Cave (Burgos, Spain) and its exploitation by the Neanderthals
No full textThe Southern chamois (Rupicapra pyrenaica) is a small-sized bovid that currently inhabits the Cantabrian Mountain Range, the Pyrenees, and the Central Apennine Mountains. This species was exploited as a resource by Palaeolithic human groups of the northern region of the Iberian Peninsula, standing out in the record of the Cave of Valdegoba. The fossil record of this site has provided plenty of evidence of Neanderthal activity. According to taphonomic analyses, Neanderthals had primary access to prey and chamois was the most consumed species. Analysis of Valdegoba’s Southern chamois allows consideration of: (1), the age structure and the dynamics of the population; (2) the palaeobiological characteristics of this population (e.g. mortality rate by age intervals, growth rate or body mass); (3) comparison of the population dynamics of Valdegoba’s chamois with that of present-day populations of different species (R. rupicapra, R. pyrenaica); and (4) exploitation of the chamois by Neanderthals. We focussed on methodological aspects of population structure and mortality profiles using life tables with vital statistics, Leslie-Lewis matrices and ternary diagrams starting from tooth eruption and wear, whereas mass estimates were obtained from the postcranial bones. Cohort structures from extant Southern, Alpine and New Zealand chamois populations were compared to Valdegoba’s chamois to better understand the paleoenvironmental context of this fossil species. In addition, we calculated the amount of meat available to the Neanderthals and the extent of their range and its population implications. Our results show that the age structure of Valdegoba chamois reflects a very similar structure and ecological features to present-day populations. Moreover, modelling the age structure of Valdegoba population shows that Neanderthals could have exploited the Southern chamois without leading to the collapse of the population. Based on the results of energetic inputs related to the percentage of chamois in Valdegoba, where we estimate that a Neanderthal group would have had to exploit at least an area of between 61 and 99 km2 to cover their energetic requirements.This research was funded by the Ministry of Economy andCompetitiveness (MINECO) of the Spanish Government (grantprojects CGL2016-78577-P, PGC2018-093925-B-C31, PGC2018-093925-B-C33 and PID2019-111185GB-I00 and Ref.

San Quirce (Palencia, Spain): new chronologies for the Lower to Middle Palaeolithic transition of south‐west Europe
No full textSan Quirce is an open-air archaeological site situated on a fluvial terrace in the Duero basin (Palencia, northern Iberia). This paper presents new and consistent chronologies obtained for the sedimentary sequence using post-infrared infrared stimulated luminescence (pIR-IR) dating of K-feldspars and single-grain thermally transferred optically stimulated luminescence (TT-OSL) dating of quartz. The new dating results indicate that the sequence is older than ~200 000 years and place San Quirce Level III within marine isotope stages (MIS) 8 and 7, between 274 ± 13 ka and 238 ± 13 ka. The main lithic assemblage at San Quirce comes from Level III. The predominant tool types found in this level are hammerstones, manuports and flakes, with a small proportion of cores and a significant presence of denticulates. Adaptation to local environmental conditions resulted in distinctive cultural habits, which were embedded in the cultural tradition of hominins occupying the site during the final third of the Middle Pleistocene. San Quirce preserves a simple cultural tradition that was employed by local hominins to engage in a diverse array of activities, and highlights the cultural diversity that appears to have been a characteristic feature of the Lower to Middle Palaeolithic transition 300–200 ka.This research is part of project Order EDU/940/2009funded by the Castilla y León Regional Education Department.
