Festivals : St Patrick' s-Thanksgiving : unidades did??cticas de Ingl??s : primer ciclo de Educaci??n Primaria

Contiene dos unidades did??cticas de Ingl??s, que pretenden proporcionar al profesorado modelos de programaci??n y materiales did??cticos de apoyo a su pr??ctica docente. La primera unidad, St Patricks, trata sobre la fiesta y la leyenda de San Patricio, patr??n de Irlanda, y consta de cuatro sesiones. La segunda unidad, Thanksgiving, est?? dedicada a una celebraci??n t??pica de Estados Unidos, la fiesta de Acci??n de Gracias, y consta de cinco sesiones. Ambas unidades incluyen una introducci??n, la explicaci??n detallada de cada sesi??n y tres anexos con material fotocopiable, fichas de evaluaci??n y juegos.

??Celebrar o no celebrar Halloween?

Se hace una reflexi??n sobre la idoneidad de celebrar la fiesta de Halloween en un CEO de Canarias por no ser una actividad t??pica de las islas. Se concluye a favor de su celebraci??n en base a que el alumnado presenta un desinter??s generalizado por aprender una segunda lengua, por lo que el aprendizaje l??dico aumenta la necesaria motivaci??n ante el ??rea de ingl??s. Con esta actividad se trabajan otros valores como la responsabilidad, a la hora de organizar los talleres y decorar el centro, la autonom??a, la b??squeda de informaci??n, la interdisciplinariedad, el respeto hacia las distintas celebraciones y fiestas de diversas culturas con la implicaci??n de las familias.

Off-road sampling reveals a different grassland bird community than roadside sampling: implications for survey design and estimates to guide conservation

Grassland bird species continue to decline steeply across North America. Road-based surveys such as the North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS) are often used to estimate trends and population sizes and to build species distribution models for grassland birds, although roadside survey counts may introduce bias in estimates because of differences in habitats along roadsides and in off-road surveys. We tested for differences in land cover composition and in the avian community on 21 roadside-based survey routes and in an equal number of adjacent off-road walking routes in the grasslands of southern Alberta, Canada. Off-road routes (n = 225 point counts) had more native grassland and short shrubs and less fallow land and road area than the roadside routes (n = 225 point counts). Consequently, 17 of the 39 bird species differed between the two route types in frequency of occurrence and relative abundance, measured using an indicator species analysis. Six species, including five obligate grassland species, were more prevalent at off-road sites; they included four species listed under the Canadian federal Species At Risk Act or listed by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada: Sprague’s Pipit (Anthus spragueii), Baird’s Sparrow (Ammodramus bairdii), the Chestnut-collared Longspur (Calcarius ornatus), and McCown’s Longspur (Rhynchophanes mccownii). The six species were as much as four times more abundant on off-road sites. Species more prevalent along roadside routes included common species and those typical of farmland and other human-modified habitats, e.g., the European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris), the Black-billed Magpie (Pica hudsonia), and the House Sparrow (Passer domesticus). Differences in avian community composition between roadside and off-road surveys suggest that the use of BBS data when generating population estimates or distribution models may overestimate certain common species and underestimate others of conservation concern. Our results highlight the need to develop appropriate corrections for bias in estimates derived from roadside sampling, and the need to design surveys that sample bird communities across a more representative cross-section of the landscape, both near and far from roads. 

Objective characterization of the course of the parasellar internal carotid artery using mathematical tools

Background Along the internal carotid artery (ICA), atherosclerotic plaques are often located in its cavernous sinus (parasellar) segments (pICA). Studies indicate that the incidence of pre-atherosclerotic lesions is linked with the complexity of the pICA; however, the pICA shape was never objectively characterized. Our study aims at providing objective mathematical characterizations of the pICA shape. Methods and results Three-dimensional (3D) computer models, reconstructed from contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) data of 30 randomly selected patients (60 pICAs) were analyzed with modern visualization software and new mathematical algorithms. As objective measures for the pICA shape complexity, we provide calculations of curvature energy, torsion energy, and total complexity of 3D skeletons of the pICA lumen. We further measured the posterior knee of the so-called ""carotid siphon"" with a virtual goniometer and performed correlations between the objective mathematical calculations and the subjective angle measurements. Conclusions Firstly, our study provides mathematical characterizations of the pICA shape, which can serve as objective reference data for analyzing connections between pICA shape complexity and vascular diseases. Secondly, we provide an objective method for creating Such data. Thirdly, we evaluate the usefulness of subjective goniometric measurements of the angle of the posterior knee of the carotid siphon.
