the presented didactic project: La màgia de llegir en veu alta by Meghan Cox (2022) and
Primeres literatures a l’educació infantil by Vanesa Amat (2019). The didactic delivery is
intended for early childhood education students, and therefore, proposals suitable for
this stage have been selected. Based on the theories and techniques presented in the
study, a piece of furniture accompanied by a guide has been designed with the aim of
providing different resources and strategies to teachers or adults interested in
introducing the English language to children in early childhood education.L’objectiu del present estudi és dissenyar una proposta didàctica que ajudi els alumnes a
descobrir la llengua anglesa a través de les primeres literatures orals, deixant de banda
les tecnologies i les pantalles. La proposta didàctica ha estat creada i es basa en diferents
estudis teòrics sobre les primeres literatures orals a l’educació infantil. Dues lectures
fonamentals guiaran el projecte didàctic presentat: La màgia de llegir en veu alta de
Meghan Cox (2022) i Primeres literatures a l’educació infantil de Vanesa Amat (2019).
L’entrega didàctica està pensada per a alumnes d’educació infantil, i per això s’han
seleccionat propostes adequades per aquesta etapa. Segons les teories i tècniques
exposades a l’estudi, s’ha dissenyat un moble acompanyat d’una guia amb l’objectiu de
facilitar diferents recursos i estratègies a mestres o persones adultes interessats a fer
descobrir la llengua anglesa a infants a l’etapa d’educació infantil
Experiencias de las familias de infantes que han recibido atención fisioterapéutica respiratoria en caso de bronquiolitis aguda: estudio cualitativo
No full textCurs 2023-2024Objective: The objective of this study is to describe the experiences of parents whose children
have received respiratory physiotherapy for the management of mild or moderate acute
bronchiolitis..
Methodology : Context of the study: This study will be performed at the Centre de Kinésithé rapie Respiratoire et Fonctionnelle (CKRF-Lyon) in Lyon in France, considered as one of the best
in this area. This first level center is specialized in respiratory physiotherapy, especially in-chil dren and proposes treatments for bronchiolitis including conventional pediatric and respiratory
physiotherapy techniques. Study design: This qualitative study will consist of conducting semi structured interviews with a phenomenological, constructivist and deductive approach to obtain
the data. The total duration of the study is estimated to be 18 months. Participants: This study is
aimed at mothers and fathers of children under 2 years of age who have received respiratory
physiotherapy for acute bronchiolitis (mild and moderate) in this center. This population must
meet certain inclusion criteria and guarantee the heterogeneity of the data. The selection of parti cipants will be made by convenience sampling, taking into account pre-established characteristics
to guarantee the demographic variety of the data obtained. Instruments for data collection: Data
collection will take place during face-to-face interviews separately with each of the participants
in a quiet classroom, with no time restriction on the interviews. The researcher will record the
sound of each discussion so that a written transcript can be made and sent to each participant for
verification and validation. The two complementary profiles of the authors will guarantee reflexi vity to ensure the quality of the qualitative methodology.
Limitations of the study: The authors may be confronted with some limitations for which it will
be necessary to seek solutions. Some of these limitations could be in relation to the interpretation
of the results, not to judge or associate the characteristics of the patients with their data obtained,
it will be specified within the writing of the study not to relate them with the characteristics. They
could also be in relation to a low number of participants, then it will be necessary to extend the
data collection area to other centers or in relation to the transcription of the interview, i.e. not to
forget words or phrases, but the author could listen as many times as necessary to the recordings.
In addition, it is possible that some of the participants will not agree with the transcription, so a
new interview will have to be done to make the necessary modifications

No full textcurs 2023-2024
Premi Vicenç Fisas de la Fundació La Farga (2024)Les microalgues són microorganismes unicel·lulars fotosintètics que viuen en diversos ambients
aquàtics. Tenen altes taxes de creixement i poden créixer en condicions autòtrofes, heteròtrofes i
mixotròfiques. En comparació amb els cultius tradicionals, les microalgues ofereixen importants
beneficis de consum a causa del seu ràpid creixement, alta productivitat i requisits mínims de terra i
aigua. Es poden utilitzar en la producció de biocombustibles, bio fertilitzants, tractament d'aigües
residuals, productes farmacèutics, cosmètics i fins i tot com a font d'aliments sostenibles pel seu ric
contingut en nutrients.
Aquestes característiques de les microalgues ens permeten fer front als ODS de fi de la pobresa (1),
fam zero (2), aigua neta (3), producció i consum responsables (12), acció pel clima (13), vida submarina
(14) i vida d’ecosistemes terrestres (15).
Aquest estudi optimitza l'extracció de proteïnes de Chlorella després d’un pas inicial de disrupció per
homogeneïtzador a alta pressió (HPH). Es van provar diversos mètodes de separació de proteïnes,
incloent centrifugació i precipitació. A més, l'estudi va explorar la incorporació de microalgues a unes
galetes per crear un aliment funcional ric en vitamines i proteïnes.
Els resultats obtinguts han permès optimitzar les condicions de disrupció. A més, algun dels mètodes
d'extracció assajats ha permès obtenir un rendiment d'extracció de proteïna de més del 50%, tot i que
és necessària més optimització. Es va aconseguir la formulació de tres tipus de galetes (Gold, Cream i
Green) amb un contingut de microalgues superior als que es troben al mercat. L’avaluació d'acceptació
del consumidor va indicar una preferència per les galetes Gold. Finalment, l'anàlisi nutricional de
galetes va revelar que la composició nutricional posterior a la cocció de les microalgues es va mantenir
estable, excepte per una degradació de 2/3 del contingut inicial de vitamina B9.
En conclusió, aquest estudi subratlla el potencial de les microalgues com a fonts d'aliments sostenibles,
delicioses i nutritives, abordant els reptes globals de seguretat alimentària i donant suport al
desenvolupament sostenibleMicroalgae are a diverse group of unicellular microorganisms that thrive in various aquatic
environments through photosynthesis. They exhibit high growth rates and can thrive in different
conditions, including autotrophic, heterotrophic, and mixotrophic environments. Compared to
traditional crops, microalgae offer significant sustainable consumption benefits due to their rapid
growth, high productivity, and minimal land and water requirements. They have diverse applications
in biofuel production, biofertilizers, wastewater treatment, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and even as a
sustainable food source due to their rich nutrient content.
These characteristics of microalgae allow us to address the SDGs of no poverty (1), zero hunger (2),
clean water and sanitation (3), responsible production and consumption (12), climate action (13), life
below water (14), and life on land (15).
This study focused on optimizing protein extraction from Chlorella after an initial step of high-pressure
homogenization (HPH) disruption. Various protein separation methods including, centrifugation, and
precipitation were tested. Additionally, the study explored the incorporation of microalgae into
crackers to create a functional food rich in vitamins and protein.
The obtained results have allowed us to optimize the disruption conditions. Some of the tested
extraction methods have resulted in a protein extraction yield of more than 50%, but further
optimization is needed. We successfully formulated three types of biscuits (Gold, Cream, and Green)
with a higher microalgae content than those available in the market. Consumer acceptance evaluation
showed that Gold crackers were favored. Additionally, crackers nutritional analysis revealed that the
nutritional composition of the microalgae post-baking process remained stable, except for a
degradation of 2/3 of the initial vitamin B9 content.
Overall, this study underscores microalgae's potential as sustainable, delicious, and nutritious food
sources, addressing global food security challenges, and supporting sustainable developmen

No full textThis deliverable is part of the European project FERTIMANURE funded by the H2020 programme (project number 862849). The project FERTIMANURE focuses on the formulation and evaluation of bio-based fertilisers (BBFs) produced at five pilot nutrient recovery installations and tailor-made fertilisers (TMFs) as blends of BBFs and (synthetic) mineral fertilisers to meet the soil-crop specific requirements.
In the framework of FERTIMANURE WP3 (Production of Tailor-Made Fertilizers and Quality Assessment) the Task 3.6. “International standardization and compliance with organic farming regulation” included a thorough assessment of FERTIMANURE BBFs under the organic farming criteria. This task was developed within months 19 and 54 of the project (from July 2021 to June 2024).H2020 (Grant no. 862849
D6.6. Policy proposals and guidelines for successful market uptake
No full textThe FERTIMANURE project employed a comprehensive methodology and organizational approach to address the challenges and opportunities associated with promoting bio-based fertilisers (BBFs) for sustainable agriculture in Europe. Strategic planning and stakeholder engagement were pivotal in defining the action plan and ensuring the participation of relevant stakeholders. Brainstorming sessions allowed the project team to finalize the methodology and determine the best approach for obtaining robust results.
Findings from the FERTIMANURE project underscored the growing demand for BBFs in the agricultural sector, driven by sustainability concerns. However, the high cost of BBF products remains a significant barrier to widespread adoption among farmers. Regional variations in BBF accessibility and infrastructure were identified, highlighting the need for tailored strategies and investments to ensure equitable access across different agricultural contexts.
Guidelines for EU stakeholders were developed as a step-by-step approach to navigate the opportunities and barriers associated with BBFs. The guidelines emphasized the sustainability benefits of BBFs, including their utilization of organic waste and contribution to soil health and agricultural resilience. Regulatory considerations, technological improvements, and economic measures were outlined to promote BBF adoption and enhance market confidence.
Discussions during the project addressed key issues such as market demand, cost barriers, regional disparities, and policy challenges related to BBFs. Experts debated the role of subsidies in promoting BBF uptake and explored alternative policy tools to stimulate market growth. The importance of ensuring the safety, quality, and transparency of BBF products was emphasized, along with the need for collaborative efforts and inclusive decision-making processes involving stakeholders from various sectors.
In conclusion, the FERTIMANURE project generated actionable insights and recommendations to promote BBFs for sustainable agriculture in Europe. The action plan focused on addressing cost barriers, regional disparities, and policy challenges through innovative financing models, targeted subsidies, and localized strategies. Recommendations encompassed a range of measures, including public-private partnerships, research and innovation initiatives, infrastructure development, legislative reforms, awareness campaigns, and stakeholder engagement efforts. By implementing these recommendations, the project aimed to accelerate the adoption of BBFs and contribute to the long-term environmental and economic resilience of the agricultural sector in Europe.H2020 (Grant no. 862849

Relationship between Personal Ethics and Burnout: The Unexpected Influence of Affective Commitment
No full textObjective: Ethical climates and their influence on emotional health have been the subject of intense debates. However, Personal Ethics as a potential resource that can mitigate Burnout syndrome has gone unnoticed. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to examine the effect of Personal Ethics on the three dimensions that constitute Burnout, considering the moderating influence of Affective Commitment. Design/methodology: A model consisting of three simple moderations is used to solve this question. The sample includes 448 professionals from the Colombian electricity sector with university-qualified education. Findings: Personal Ethics mitigates Emotional Exhaustion and Depersonalization, but it is not related to Personal Realization. Affective Commitment, unexpectedly, has an inverse moderating effect. In other words, as this type of commitment intensifies, the positive impact of Personal Ethics on Burnout and Depersonalization decreases until it disappears. Furthermore, Affective Commitment does not influence the dynamic between Personal Ethics and self-realization. Research limitations/implications: A longitudinal study would strengthen the causal relationships established in this research. Practical implications: Alignment of values between the individual and the organization is crucial. In fact, integration between the organization and its personnel through organic, open and connected structures increases psychological well-being through values linked to benevolence and understanding. Social implications: Employees’ emotional health is transcendental beyond the organizational level, as it has a significant impact on personal and family interactions beyond the workplace. Originality/value: The potential adverse repercussion of Affective Commitment has been barely examined. Additionally, Personal Ethics, when intensified by high Affective Commitment, can lead to extra-role behaviors that transform what is voluntary into a moral imperative. This situation could generate emotional fractures and a decrease in achievement. This perspective, compared to previous research, introduces an innovative element
