Reflections throughout the COVID-19 Lockdown: What Do I Need for Successful Learning of Engineering?
Get PDFThe intention of this study was to identify the elements that engineering students consider
fundamental for successful learning on engineering courses. The aim was to provide generic guidelines suitable for any engineering course with which the teaching may be adapted in the light of
comments from students, while student learning improves. The abrupt transition from face-to-face to
asynchronous online teaching due to the COVID-19 pandemic prompted reflection among students
on both teaching methods. Students were invited to evaluate each method through a survey of
open-ended questions, identifying useful elements for their learning. The survey was repeated over
nine weeks, to obtain the views of students after they had accepted the change and had critically
analyzed how to improve online teaching. A cross-coded qualitative and mixed (word counting)
analysis showed that the explanation of engineering concepts should be organized, hierarchical,
repetitive, and exemplified. Furthermore, the teacher should link all the activities and projects to the
concepts explained and quickly solve any doubts that they raised. As a consequence of the online
teaching resulting from COVID-19, the need of independent student learning and peer support
was also very evident. Teaching functions are essential on engineering courses, as teachers have to
explain the overall concepts carefully, identify the key concepts, and demonstrate their industrial
and professional applications. Furthermore, teaching methodologies that balance these aspects with
autonomy and peer support for learning on engineering courses should be promoted.Víctor Revilla-Cuesta was funded by the Spanish Ministry MCIU, AEI and ERDF, grant FPU17/03374.

Self-Regulation of Motivation and Confinement by COVID-19: A Study in Spanish University Students
No full textConfinement by COVID-19 in 2020 meant that face-to-face teaching changed
to virtual teaching. The goal of this study was to test how confinement affected to self-regulation
of motivation (SRM). A longitudinal design was used to obtain information from
75 university students in three moments: before confinement, 20 days after confinement, and 40 days
after confinement. The SRM Strategies Questionnaire and the Pittsburgh Sleep Index were used to
evaluate the study variables
Propuesta de Ensayo Clínico Aleatorizado: análisis del efecto de una intervención de Baños de Bosque sobre la salud física, la salud mental y la calidad de vida de personas con Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2
Get PDFIntroducción: Los Baños de Bosque consisten en pasear por un ambiente forestal mientras un guía propone actividades para conectar con la naturaleza usando los 5 sentidos. Su aproximación holística al cuidado enfermero y la notable evidencia acerca de sus beneficios sobre la salud física y mental, los posicionan como posible terapia complementaria para la Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2. Objetivos: Elaborar un diseño experimental para comprobar si una intervención basada en los Baños de Bosque mejora la salud física, mental y la calidad de vida de personas con Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2. Metodología: Se propone un ensayo clínico aleatorizado. Participarán 52 personas de la Asociación de Diabéticos de Burgos a las que se las distribuirá aleatoriamente en el grupo control y el grupo que realizará la intervención de 6 sesiones de Baños de Bosque en 3 meses. Se medirán la tensión arterial, frecuencia cardiaca, saturación de oxígeno en sangre, glucosa y hemoglobina glicosilada; depresión, ansiedad, estado de ánimo y calidad de vida mediante instrumentos y cuestionarios validados en ambos grupos antes y después de la intervención. Discusión y Conclusión: Solo se encontró un estudio que relacione esta terapia con la Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2, por lo que con este trabajo se puede aumentar la evidencia científica de esta terapia. Además, puede aplicarse al proceso enfermero y la taxonomía NANDA-NOC-NIC, y concuerda con la labor holística de la enfermería, que puede desarrollar su función investigadora y tener un papel activo en la terapia.Introduction: The Forest Bathing consists of walking through a forest environment while a guide proposes activities to connect with nature using the 5 senses. Its holistic approach to nursing care and the remarkable evidence about its benefits on physical and mental health, position it as a possible complementary therapy for Diabetes Mellitus Type 2. Objectives: Develop an experimental design to check if an intervention based on Forest Bathing improves the physical and mental health and the quality of life of people with Diabetes Mellitus type 2. Metodology: A randomized clinical trial is proposed. 52 people from the Burgos Diabetic Association will participate and they will be randomly distributed into the control group and the group that will perform the intervention of 6 sessions of Forest Baths in 3 months. Blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, glucose, and glycosylated hemoglobin; depression, anxiety, mood and quality of life will be measured using validated instruments and questionnaires in both groups before and after the intervention. Discussion and Conclusion: Only one study that relates this therapy to Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 was found, so this work can increase the scientific evidence of this therapy. In addition, it can be applied to the nursing process and the NANDA-NOC-NIC taxonomy, and is consistent with the holistic work of nursing, which can develop its research function and play an active role in therapy
Análisis funcional de herramientas líticas del Paleolítico medio a través del análisis de huellas de uso experimentales: el caso de Prado Vargas (Cornejo) y Fuente Mudarra (Atapuerca), norte de España
No full textThere are functional differences related to the peculiarities of each settlement. The material used to manufacture tools is one of the key factors in the analysis of use-wear traces in traceological studies. An experiment was conducted to test the development of these functional traces in two types of flints found at two Middle Palaeolithic settlements: Neogene flint, from the Fuente Mudarra open-air site Sierra de Atapuerca, and Cretaceous flint, from the Prado Vargas cave site, Ojo Guareña. After reviewing the characteristic of each type of flint, they were compared to previous archaeological studies in order to check the reliability of the analysis of these settlements.Existen diferencias funcionales en lo referente a las características de cada yacimiento. El tipo de material sobre el que están realizadas las herramientas líticas es una de las razones que condiciona la aparición de huellas de uso diagnósticas para estudios traceológicos. Se ha llevado a cabo un programa experimental para comprobar el desarrollo de estas huellas en dos tipos de sílex diferentes presentes en dos yacimientos del Paleolítico Medio de la provincia de Burgos: sílex neógeno, del yacimiento al aire libre de Fuente Mudarra en la Sierra de Atapuerca, y sílex cretácico, del yacimiento en cueva de Prado Vargas, Ojo Guareña. Una vez revisadas las características de cada sílex, se han contrastado con previos estudios arqueológicos para comprobar la viabilidad del análisis en estos yacimientos.This study is supported by the Local Government of la Merindad de Sotoscueva and Cornejo This paper is part of a Project financed by the Regional Government of Castilla y León and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Directorate General of Cultural Heritage: “Intervención arqueológica en la Cueva de Prado Vargas, en Cornejo (Merindad de Sotoscueva, Burgos)” (C02W06).

Bien común y bienes comunes: conceptos distintos con un mismo sustrato
No full textEn todos los idiomas existen palabras con varios significados, afines o no. Como ejemplos de significados del todo distintos basta contemplar los diferentes sentidos del término español “como”, en su función verbal y en la adverbial; algo parecido a lo que ocurre con el “like” inglés. Pues bien, tanto en las principales lenguas latinas como en el inglés la palabra “bien” tiene una doble acepción, aunque dentro de la afinidad derivada de la única raíz (lo que no ocurría con los distintos “como”
Thermal and fire behaviour of cement blocks with recycled roof wastes
No full textComunicación presentada en: 10th International Conference on Computational Methods and Experiments in Material and Contact Characterisation, 7 July 2021 - 9 July 2021, Virtual, OnlineIn accordance with the European politics of reducing the amount of plastics and polymers sited in landfills, the inclusion of compounds such as roof wastes as recycled and reusable materials to replace variable amounts of aggregates is interesting in the production of new construction materials due to their physical and chemical behaviour. Mortars made with Portland cement, sand, water and grinded roof wastes from the automobile industry that replace in different amounts part or all of the aggregates are examined in this study. To try to avoid the mechanical resistance limitation due to the use of roof wastes, the chemical properties of the binders have been modified with non-ionic surfactants that changed the effect on the hydration of the clinker. This variation produces an important change in the mechanical resistance to achieve recycled structural materials with a low density compared to conventional light mortars. In addition, these additives improve other properties including workability, compaction of the matrix, prevent the disintegration of the particles and help to improve the mechanical properties, ductility, thermal resistance and durability against fire to reinforce the materials. These ecomortars have a lower thermal conductivity as more quantity of roof wastes are incorporated, which greatly favours the thermal insulation of the final envelope, as well as a good behaviour against temperature, measured in terms of thermogravimetry and non-combustibility test. With these results, we can consider the use of roof wastes as a sustainable alternative to the materials currently used and then with them we can be able to contribute to a more ecological business model in the building sector.Authors gratefully acknowledge the financial support of BU070P20 Project funded by the Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER) of the EU and the Junta de Castilla y León (Spain)
