Nuances of Public Diplomacy: China in Chilean Op-Eds (2018-2021)
Get PDFThis paper explores editorials and opinion columns published in four Chilean mainstream newspapers and analyzes how China is represented within the context of Chinese economic advances in the region and the contextual narratives surrounding bilateral relations. Through a content analysis of editorials and opinion pieces of elite media between 2018 and 2021, this study allows an understanding of how China and its growing influence are perceived locally. Ultimately, despite an overall alignment with China’s public diplomacy centered around an economic-commercial dimension, there are still nuances in how China is represented in Chilean op-eds
The science of bridging differences and the dialogic transformation of conflict: a case study from «This is Us»
Get PDFIn a climate of increasing social and political polarisation, there is much interest in dialogue and bridging differences. This article investigates the dramatisation of dialogic conflict resolution, examining how the psychological science of bridging differences can be utilised to create realistic and emotionally engaging narratives that highlight the transformative impact of dialogue on character development and relational dynamics. Relational conflicts have long been recognised as possible catalysts for character transformation, and complex narratives (Mittell, 2015) are particularly appropriate for a nuanced representation of characters’ psychological experiences throughout the process. This study draws upon extensive psychological and communication research on bridging differences compiled by Shigeoka et al. (2020) and UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center (2021). It reorganises this research into a horizontal timeline of behaviours, highlighting their practical application during the conflict resolution process. It then makes a cognitive poetics analysis of how these behaviours may be observed in a case study of relational conflict from the complex television series This is Us (NBC, 2016-2022). By observing the impact these behaviours have on the transformation of characters, the study explores how credible dialogic relational conflicts can lead to verisimilar character transformation on screen. In addition, it considers how an artistic interpretation of the science of bridging differences can contribute to our understanding of dialogue in practice
La praxis del teatro político en la España decimonónica: el ideario liberal en los dramas románticos de Antonio García Gutiérrez
Get PDFIn this collaboration, we provide clear evidence of how Antonio García Gutiérrez's political theater serves as a platform to present his liberal political thought to the public and to urge citizens to mobilize against abuses of power. Drawing inspiration from past warlike events, García Gutiérrez crafts the plots of El Trovador (1836) and Juan Lorenzo (1865) to allow the audience to interpret them as relevant to the present. Amid the turmoil of military pronouncements and revolutions in Spain, our author takes the side of the liberal cause and declares himself a defender against abuses of power. Through his dramas, he promotes patriotic theater and contributes to the political socialization of Spaniards, as well as to the reinforcement of patriotic and nationalist sentiments. Beyond the confines of the theater of confrontation between absolutists and liberals, García Gutiérrez’s plays aim to reject dogmatic thinking and defend freedom of speech.En la presente colaboración ofrecemos una prueba manifiesta de cómo el teatro político de Antonio García Gutiérrez es una verdadera plataforma para trasladar a la opinión pública su pensamiento político liberal, a la par que para incitar a la ciudadanía a movilizarse contra los abusos del poder. García Gutiérrez compone la trama argumental de El Trovador (1836) y de Juan Lorenzo (1865) sobre acontecimientos bélicos del pasado, pero aporta al espectador las claves para interpretarlos como referidos al presente. En una España convulsa y agitada por los pronunciamientos y las revoluciones, nuestro autor toma partido por la causa liberal y se proclama defensor de los derechos civiles y de las libertades individuales frente a los atropellos del poder. A través de sus dramas pone en valor el teatro patriótico y contribuye a la socialización política de los españoles, así como al refuerzo del sentimiento patriótico y nacionalista. Más allá de un teatro de confrontación entre absolutistas y liberales, García Gutiérrez apuesta por reivindicar el rechazo al pensamiento único y la defensa de la libertad de expresión
Histopathological reaction in the vestibule after cochlear implantation in Macaca fascicularis.
Get PDFCochlear implantation surgery (CI) is considered a safe procedure and is the standard treatment for the auditory rehabilitation in patients with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss. Although the development of minimally traumatic surgical concepts (MTSC) have enabled the preservation of residual hearing after the implantation, there is scarce literature regarding the vestibular affection following MTCS. The aim of the study is to analyze histopathologic changes in the vestibule after CI in an animal model (Macaca fascicularis). Cochlear implantation was performed successfully in 14 ears following MTCS. They were classified in two groups upon type of electrode array used. Group A (n = 6) with a FLEX 28 electrode array and Group B (n = 8) with HL14 array. A 6-month follow-up was carried out with periodic objective auditory testing. After their sacrifice, histological processing and subsequent analysis was carried out. Intracochlear findings, vestibular presence of fibrosis, obliteration or collapse is analyzed. Saccule and utricle dimensions and neuroepithelium width is measured. Cochlear implantation was performed successfully in all 14 ears through a round window approach. Mean angle of insertion was >270° for group A and 180-270° for group B. In group A auditory deterioration was observed in Mf 1A, Mf2A and Mf5A with histopathological signs of scala tympani ossification, saccule collapse (Mf1A and Mf2A) and cochlear aqueduct obliteration (Mf5A). Besides, signs of endolymphatic sinus dilatation was seen for Mf2B and Mf5A. Regarding group B, no auditory deterioration was observed. Histopathological signs of endolymphatic sinus dilatation were seen in Mf 2B and Mf 8B. In conclusion, the risk of histological damage of the vestibular organs following minimally traumatic surgical concepts and the soft surgery principles is very low. CI surgery is a safe procedure and it can be done preserving the vestibular structures
Unraveling the role of resistin, retinol-binding protein 4 and adiponectin produced by epicardial adipose tissue in cardiac structure and function: evidence of a paracrine effect
Get PDFPurposeAdipokines produced by adipose tissue have been found to be involved in the pathophysiology of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. We aimed to investigate the relationships of resistin, retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) and adiponectin produced by epicardial adipose tissue with coronary artery disease (CAD) and cardiac structure and function.MethodsForty-one non-diabetic males scheduled for cardiothoracic surgery were examined. Anthropometric measurements, echocardiography, coronary angiography, and blood analysis were performed preoperatively. We measured the serum levels of resistin, RBP4, and adiponectin and their mRNA expression in thoracic subcutaneous adipose tissue and two epicardial adipose tissue samples, one close to left anterior descending artery (LAD) (resistin-LAD, RBP4-LAD, adiponectin-LAD), and another close to the right coronary artery (RCA) (resistin-RCA, RBP4-RCA, adiponectin-RCA).ResultsLeft ventricular (LV) ejection fraction correlated negatively with adiponectin-LAD (rho = - 0.390, p = 0.025). The ratio of early to late diastolic transmitral flow velocity, as an index of LV diastolic function, correlated negatively with resistin-LAD (rho = - 0.529, p = 0.024) and RBP4-LAD (rho = - 0.458, p = 0.049). There was no difference in epicardial adipose tissue mRNA expression of resistin, RBP4, and adiponectin between individuals with CAD and those without CAD. When we compared the individuals with CAD in the LAD with those without CAD in the LAD, there was no difference in resistin-LAD, RBP4-LAD, and adiponectin-LAD. There was no difference in resistin-RCA, RBP4-RCA, and adiponectin-RCA between the individuals with CAD in the RCA and those without CAD in the RCA.ConclusionElevation of epicardial adipose tissue mRNA expression of adiponectin was associated with LV systolic dysfunction, while that of both resistin and RBP4 was linked to LV diastolic dysfunction
Microglia and astrocyte activation is region-dependent in the alfa-synuclein mouse model of Parkinson's disease
No full textInflammation is a common feature in neurodegenerative diseases that contributes to neuronal loss. Previously, we demonstrated that the basal inflammatory tone differed between brain regions and, consequently, the reaction generated to a pro-inflammatory stimulus was different. In this study, we assessed the innate immune reaction in the midbrain and in the striatum using an experimental model of Parkinson's disease. An adeno-associated virus serotype 9 expressing the α-synuclein and mCherry genes or the mCherry gene was administered into the substantia nigra. Myeloid cells (CD11b+ ) and astrocytes (ACSA2+ ) were purified from the midbrain and striatum for bulk RNA sequencing. In the parkinsonian midbrain, CD11b+ cells presented a unique anti-inflammatory transcriptomic profile that differed from degenerative microglia signatures described in experimental models for other neurodegenerative conditions. By contrast, striatal CD11b+ cells showed a pro-inflammatory state and were similar to disease-associated microglia. In the midbrain, a prominent increase of infiltrated monocytes/macrophages was observed and, together with microglia, participated actively in the phagocytosis of dopaminergic neuronal bodies. Although striatal microglia presented a phagocytic transcriptomic profile, morphology and cell density was preserved and no active phagocytosis was detected. Interestingly, astrocytes presented a pro-inflammatory fingerprint in the midbrain and a low number of differentially displayed transcripts in the striatum. During α-synuclein-dependent degeneration, microglia and astrocytes experience context-dependent activation states with a different contribution to the inflammatory reaction. Our results point towards the relevance of selecting appropriate cell targets to design neuroprotective strategies aimed to modulate the innate immune system during the active phase of dopaminergic degeneration
Co-Occurrence of Mycotoxins in Feed for Cattle, Pigs, Poultry, and Sheep in Navarra, a Region of Northern Spain
Get PDFMycotoxins, toxic compounds produced by fungi on raw materials, such as cereals, represent a serious health hazard. Animals are exposed to them mainly through the ingestion of contaminated feed. This study presents data about the presence and co-occurrence of nine mycotoxins: aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, and G2, ochratoxins A and B, zearalenone (ZEA), deoxynivalenol (DON), and sterigmatocystin (STER), in 400 samples of compound feed for cattle, pigs, poultry, and sheep (100 samples each) collected in Spain (2019-2020). Aflatoxins, ochratoxins, and ZEA were quantified using a previously validated HPLC method using fluorescence detection; whereas DON and STER were quantified using ELISA. Moreover, the obtained results were compared with those obtained in this country and published in the last 5 years. The mycotoxin presence in Spanish feed, especially for ZEA and DON, has been demonstrated. The maximum individual levels found were: AFB1: 6.9 µg/kg in a sample of feed for poultry; OTA: 65.5 µg/kg in a sample of feed for pigs, DON: 887 µg/kg in a sample of feed for sheep, and ZEA: 816 µg/kg in a sample of feed for pigs. Nevertheless, regulated mycotoxins appear, in general, at levels below those regulated by the EU; in fact, the percentage of samples containing concentrations above these limits was very low (from 0% for DON to 2.5% for ZEA). The co-occurrence of mycotoxins has also been demonstrated: 63.5% of the analyzed samples presented detectable levels of two to five mycotoxins. Due to the fact that the distribution of mycotoxins in raw materials can change greatly from year to year with climate conditions or market globalization, regular mycotoxin monitorization in feed is needed to prevent the integration of contaminated materials in the food chain
Bidaiari-trenen esekidura pneumatikoaren karakterizazio eta modelizazio dinamikoa.
No full textAn essential benefit of using virtual homologation in railway vehicles is the reduction of the high costs associated with on-track tests, which can be reached by
analysing the performance of a railway vehicle under various operating conditions
and, thus, by enhancing the vehicle’s design so as to optimise its performance under
particular circumstances. In fact, as railway vehicle speed increases, the vehicle’s
dynamic performance is affected. This demands the development of validated and
accepted models that incorporate the influence of all vehicle components, including
the wheel-rail contact, bogie frame, suspension elements, carbody, etc. In order to
ensure comfortable trips the secondary suspension system aims to reduce and mitigate the vibration transmission. This suspension element is a complex component
composed by a pressurized reinforced elastomeric bellows, which lies into a rubberlike emergency spring, connected though a pipeline or an orifice to a reservoir.
In this thesis, the viability of the current secondary suspension models into higher
frequencies and different working directions is investigated. Where necessary, new
models are proposed to extend the frequency range up to 200 Hz (structural-borne
vibration transmission frequency range) or incorporate existing non-linearities.
Firstly, the available modelling techniques of air spring type pneumatic suspensions are evaluated according to the frequency range they cover, the component
number included (bellows, pneumatic system, full secondary system) and the nonlinearities they can account for. FEM models arise as the most suitable modelling
technique for the non-linear multidirectional and multiphysic and high frequency
range replica of the secondary suspension system. After all, the suspension system
is composed by several elements, including mainly a rubber-cord composite bellows,
a rubberlike emergency spring and a moving air mass inside the pneumatic system,
which results in a highly non-linear suspension element. One aspect that has been
covered is the implementation into FEM models of non-linear behaviour of rubberlike elements (the nearly incompressible behaviour, non-linear elasticity, frequency
and excitation-amplitude dependencies), the need of experimental characterization
and model calibration.
Secondly, the singularities of the bellows, the pneumatic system and the full
secondary suspension are investigated separately. As far as the air spring is concerned, a bellows’s FEM model developed in ABAQUS is proposed, which is validated with experimental data. It incorporates the uniaxial reinforcements, the
coupling between internal pressure and structural deformation, and the polytropic
heat exchange definition between the inner air and the environment. Moreover,
based on four surface response functions of the axial and transversal static stiffness and first axial and transversal vibration modes, which are function of seven construction parameters, a design tool is suggested. As an interesting outcome, the
suspension system shows vibration modes bellow 200 Hz, in the frequency range
which structure-borne vibration transmission takes place.
Afterwards, the axial dynamic stiffness of the pneumatic suspension, more
precisely of a single-lobe air spring connected to a reservoir via a pipeline is investigated, up to 400Hz. After carrying out an exhaustive experimental campaign, an
enhanced FEM model is developed which incorporates the resonances due to the
air flow between the bellows and the reservoir, the resonances due to the formation
of standing waves in the pipeline and the resonances due to structural dynamics of
the bellows. Up to date, available modelling techniques disregard the effect of the
auxiliar volume (reservoir and pipeline) above 20 Hz. Nevertheless, this research
shows, although that in a lesser extent, it modifies the dynamic performance of the
suspension system. In addition, structural modes of the air spring can compromise
the isolation above 20 Hz.
Finally, a non-linear multiphysic FEM model of the full secondary suspension
element, which incorporates the emergency spring to the pneumatic system is developed. Static and dynamic results up to 20 Hz of the FEM model are compared
with available experimental data and afterwards, the model is extended up to 300
Hz. The dynamic performance of the suspension system in a pure axial, pure transversal or pure roll movements is predicted. In the three directions the model also
predicts resonance frequencies below 200 Hz, which might compromise the isolation.
As an application, based on the developed FEM model and with the advantage of
avoiding any experimental test, the input parameters of the secondary suspension
system model of multibody simulations are derived.Tren-ibilgailuetan homologazio birtuala erabiltzearen onura nagusienetarikoa errailetan bertan burututako saiakuntzekin loturiko kostuak murriztean datza, lan baldintza ezberdinetan ibilgailuaren portaera aztertuz, eta honela, errendimendua
hobetze aldera trenaren diseinua optimizatuz. Azken finean, trenaren abiadura
handitu ahala, ibilgailuaren errendimendu dinamikoa kaltetu eginen da. Honela,
ibilgailuaren elementu guztien eragina barne hartzen dituzten baliozkotutako eta
onartutako ereduak garatzea beharezkoa da, besteak beste, errail-gurpil kontaktua,
bogiearen bastidorea, esekidura-elementuak, kaxa eta abar. Bidaietan erosotasuna bermatzeko, esekidura-sistema sekundarioaren helburua bibrazioen transmisioa
murriztea eta arintzea da. Esekidura-elementu hori elementu konplexua da, zuntzez
irmoturiko hauspo elastomeriko presurizatu batez osatua, kautxu-motako larrialdimalguki batean ezartzen dena, hodi edo zulo baten bidez andala batera konektatzen dena. Doktorego tesi honek, maiztasun altuagoetan eta lan-norabide desberdinetan esekidura sekundarioaren egungo ereduen bideragarritasuna ikertzen du.
Maiztasun-tartea 200 Hz-raino handitu behar denerako (egiturak transmititutako bibrazioen transmisio-maiztasuna) edo ez-linealtasunak gehitu behar direnerako
eredu berriak proposatzen dira.
Lehenik, hauspo motako esekidura pneumatikoak modelizatzeko dauden teknikak aplikagarri diren maiztasun-tartearen, elementu-kopuruaren (hauspoa, sistema
pneumatikoa, esekidura sistema osoa) eta azal ditzaketen ez-linealtasunen arabera
ebaluatu dira. FEM ereduak norabide zein fisika ezberdinetarako, ez-linealtasunak
barneratzeko eta maiztasun altuko maiztasun tartea definitzeko modelizazio - teknikarik egokiena dirudite. Azken finean, esekidura-sistema hainbat elementuk osatzen dute; zuntzez irmoturiko kautxu motako hauspo konposatu batek, kautxuzko
larrialdi-malguki batek eta sistema pneumatikoaren barruan mugitzen ari den airemasa batek, bereziki. Ondorioa, esekidura-elementu ez-lineal konplexu bat izatea
da. Lan honetan, kautxu-erako elementuen portaera ez-lineala (konprimaezintasuna, elastikotasun ez-lineala, eta kitzikatze maiztasunaren eta anplitudearen mendekotasunak) FEM ereduetan nola inplementatu jorratu da, beharrezko saiakuntzak
eginez eta ereduaen kalibrazio burutuz.
Bigarrenik, hauspoaren, sistema pneumatikoaren eta esekidura sekundario osoaren berezitasunak zatika ikertu dira. Hauspoari dagokionez, ABAQUSen garatutako eta saiakuntzen datuekin baliozkotutako hauspoaren FEM eredu bat proposatu
da. Ereduak errefortzu uniaxialak, barne-presioaren eta deformazio-estrukturalaren
arteko akoplamendua, eta barneko airearen eta ingurunearen arteko bero-truke politropikoaren definizioa biltzen ditu. Hortaz gain, diseinu-erraminta gixa zazpi
eraikuntza-parametroren funtzio diren zurruntasun estatiko axial eta zeharkakoa eta lehen maiztasun axial eta zeharkakoen lau erantzun-azalera funtzio ondorioztatu dira. Esekidura-sistemak 200 Hz-tik beherako bibrazio-moduak erakusten ditu,
bibrazioen transmisio estrukturala gertatzen den maiztasun-tartean zehazki.
Ondoren, lobulu bakarreko hauspo bat hodi bidez andalari konektatuz, 400 Hz
bitarte esekidura pneumatikoaren zurruntasun axiala ikertu da. Saiakuntza kanpaina sakon baten ostean, FEM eredu aurreratu bat garatu da, hauspoaren eta
andalaren arteko aire-fluxuaren ondoriozko erresonantziak, hodian emanan diren
uhin geldikorren ondoriozko erresonantziak eta hauspoen egiturazko dinamikaren
ondoriozko erresonantziak biltzen dituena, zehazki. Orain arte eskuragarri dauden
modelizazio-teknikek ez dute bolumen gehigarriak (andalak eta hodiak) 20 Hz-tik
gora duen eragina barne hartzen. Hala ere, ikerketa honek neurri txikiagoan bada
ere, esekidura-sistemaren portaera dinamikoa aldatzen dutela agerian utzi du. Gainera, hauspoaren egitura-erresonantziek 20 Hz-tik gorako isolamendua arriskuan
jar dezakete.
Azkenik, sistema pnaumatikoari larrialdi malgukia gehituz, esekidura sekundario osoaren FEM eredu multifisiko ez-lineal bat garatu da. FEM ereduaren emaitza
estatikoak eta 20 Hz bitarteko dinamikoak eskuragarri dauden saiakuntza datuen
bidez balioztatu dira, eta ondoren, eredua 300 Hz-raino zabaldu da. Mugimendu
axial puru, zeharkako nahiz biraketa mugimenduen aurream esekidura-sistemaren
portaera dinamikoa ebaluatu da. Hiru norabideetan, ereduak 200 Hz-tik beherako
erresonantzia-maiztasunak aurreikusten ditu, isolamendua arriskuan jar lezaketenak. Aplikazio gisa, FEM eredua oinarri hartuta eta saiakuntzak ekidinez, gorputzanitzeko simulazioetan erabili ohi diren esekidura sekundarioaren ereduen sarrera
balioak ondorioztatu dira.Un gran beneficio del uso de la homologación virtual en vehículos ferroviarios es la
reducción de los altos costos asociados con las pruebas en la vía, lo que se puede lograr analizando el comportamiento de un vehículo ferroviario en varias condiciones
de operación y, por lo tanto, mejorar así su diseño para optimizar su rendimiento
en circunstancias particulares. De hecho, a medida que aumenta la velocidad del
tren, el rendimiento dinámico del vehículo se ve afectado. Esto exige el desarrollo
de modelos validados y aceptados que incorporen la influencia de todos los componentes del vehículo, incluyendo el contacto rueda-carril, el bastidor del bogie, los
elementos de suspensión, la carrocería, etc. Para garantizar la comodidad en los
viajes, el sistema de suspensión secundaria tiene como objetivo reducir y mitigar
la transmisión de vibraciones. Este elemento de suspensión es un elemento complejo compuesto por un fuelle elastomérico reforzado y presurizado, que descansa
en un resorte de emergencia similar al caucho, conectado a través de una tubería
o un orificio a un depósito. En esta tesis se investiga la viabilidad de los modelos
actuales de suspensión secundaria en frecuencias más altas y diferentes direcciones
de trabajo. Se proponen nuevos modelos para cuando sea necesario ampliar el rango de frecuencia hasta 200 Hz (rango de frecuencia de transmisión de vibraciones
transmitidas por la estructura) o incorporar las no linealidades existentes.
En primer lugar, se evalúan las diferents técnicas de modelización de suspensiones neumáticas de tipo fuelle disponibles de acuerdo con el rango de frecuencia
que cubren, el número de componentes incluidos (fuelle, sistema neumático, sistema
secundario completo) y las no-linealidades que pueden explicar. Los modelos FEM
surgen como la técnica de modelización más adecuada para la réplica no-lineal multidireccional, multifísica y capaz de cubrir el rango de alta frecuencia del sistema
de suspensión secundaria. Al fin y al cabo, el sistema de suspensión está compuesto
por varios elementos, que incluyen principalmente un fuelle de material compuesto
de tipo caucho reforzado, un resorte de emergencia también de caucho y una masa
de aire en movimiento dentro del sistema neumático, lo que da como resultado un
elemento de suspensión altamente no lineal. Un aspecto que se ha cubierto es la
implementación en modelos FEM del comportamiento no lineal de elementos similares al caucho (el comportamiento casi incompresible, la elasticidad no-lineal,
y las dependencias de la frecuencia y la amplitud de excitación), la necesidad de
caracterización experimental y la calibración del modelo.
En segundo lugar, se han investigado las singularidades del fuelle, el sistema
neumático y la suspensión secundaria completa por separado. En cuanto a la cámara de aire, se propone un modelo FEM de fuelle desarrollado en ABAQUS y
validado con datos experimentales. El modelo incorpora los refuerzos uniaxiales, el acoplamiento entre la presión interna y la deformación estructural, y la definición
de intercambio de calor politrópico entre el aire interior y el ambiente. Además,
basándose en cuatro funciones de superficie respuesta de la rigidez estática axial y
transversal y los primeros modos de vibración axial y transversal, que son función
de siete parámetros de construcción, se sugiere una herramienta de diseño. Como
resultado interesante, el sistema de suspensión muestra modos de vibración por
debajo de los 200 Hz, en el rango de frecuencia en el que se produce la transmisión
estructutal de vibraciones.
Posteriormente, se investiga la rigidez dinámica axial hasta 400 Hz de la suspensión neumática, más precisamente de un resorte neumático de un solo lóbulo
conectado a un depósito a través de una tubería. Tras realizar una exhaustiva
campaña experimental, se desarrolla un modelo FEM avanzado que incorpora las
resonancias debidas al flujo de aire entre el fuelle y el depósito, las resonancias debidas a la formación de ondas estacionarias en la tubería y las resonancias debidas
a la dinámica estructural de los fuelles. Hasta la fecha, las técnicas de modelización
disponibles ignoran el efecto del volumen auxiliar (depósito y tubería) por encima
de 20 Hz. Sin embargo, esta investigación muestra, que aunque en menor medida,
modifican el comportamiento dinámico del sistema de suspensión. Además, los modos estructurales del fuelle pueden comprometer el aislamiento por encima de 20
Hz.
Finalmente, se desarrolla un modelo FEM multifísico no lineal del conjunto
completo de la suspensión secundaria, que incorpora el resorte de emergencia al
sistema neumático. Los resultados del modelo FEM estáticos y dinámicos hasta
20 Hz se comparan con los datos experimentales disponibles y, posteriormente, el
modelo se amplía hasta 300 Hz. Se predice el comportamiento dinámico del sistema de suspensión en movimientos axiales puros, transversales puros o de balanceo
puro. En las tres direcciones el modelo también predice frecuencias de resonancia
por debajo de 200 Hz, lo que podría comprometer el aislamiento. Como aplicación,
basándose el modelo FEM desarrollado y con la ventaja de evitar cualquier prueba experimental, se derivan los parámetros de entrada del modelo del sistema de
suspensión secundaria en las simulaciones multicuerpo
¿En qué medida la enseñanza basada en la indagación desarrolla distintos enfoques de aprendizaje en el área de ciencias naturales en el tercer ciclo de primaria?
Get PDFLa educación no solo consiste en aprender una serie de conocimientos teóricos sino aprender a cómo
ponerlos en práctica y aplicarlos en la vida cotidiana. Esto es lo que se conoce hoy en día como las
habilidades del siglo XXI, que en el International Baccalaureate (IB) se entienden como enfoques de
aprendizaje. Ciencias de la naturaleza es una asignatura donde estas habilidades pueden desarrollarse
fácilmente; no obstante ¿cómo lo hacemos? Por ello, el presente trabajo se centra en la explicación de
cómo la indagación, enfoque pedagógico propio del IB, es un buen modo para que el alumnado
adquiera los diversos enfoques de aprendizaje. Además, aparte de la exposición de la importancia de
la indagación en ciencias de la naturaleza y de todos los beneficios y habilidades que se fomentan,
hay un apartado donde se propone una derivación práctica, en el que se explican dos herramientas
dirigidas a los docentes que quieran impartir sus clases a partir de la indagación, pero no tengan
ninguna noción de cómo llevarlo a cabo. A pesar de que el trabajo trate sobre las ciencias naturales, la
parte práctica está pensada para que se pueda usar para cualquier asignatura con el objetivo de formar
a personas con pensamiento crítico capaces de cambiar y mejorar el mundo con pequeñas acciones de
cada día
