Passeig per l’invisible: itinerari químic per la ciutat de Girona = A walk through the invisible: a chemical journey through Girona

The presented itinerary covers eleven sites of the city of Girona that have been chosen for their interest from a chemical point of view. Girona is a city with chemistry, and this journey allowed student to see that chemistry is present everywhere, even in everyday life and not only in classrooms and laboratories. This approach aims to motivate students to discover something that had been invisible

ESTRATEGIA DE DOBLE CICLO DE SUPERVISIÓN CLÍNICA PARA LA MEJORA DE LA CALIDAD DOCENTE EN LA UNIVERSIDAD. PUNTO DE VISTA DEL PROFESORADO NOVEL

This work describes a mentorship experience. Mentorship of novice teachers by experienced teachers is an important aspect in training teachers for universities. The strategy followed in this work consisted of a double improvement cycle (or clinical supervision cycle), based on the use of recordings of classes. Each of these cycles included planning, recording, viewing and analysis. Conclusions were reached in a final meeting after video analysis. In order to systematize the viewing, analysis and assessment of the videos, an observation test was employed. Class planning, contents, methodology, and verbal and nonverbal communication skills were evaluated using the test.

DIRECT INFUSION ESI-MS APPLIED IN THE DETECTION OF BYPRODUCTS DUE TO REDUCTIVE DEGRADATION OF ACETAMIPRID BY ZERO-VALENT IRON

This study investigated the reductive degradation of acetamiprid (5 mg L-1) in aqueous medium (at pH 2.0) induced by zero-valent iron (50 mg). The process was monitored using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to determine the degradation rate as a function of reaction time, and direct infusion electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DI-ESI-MS) to search for (and potentially characterize) any possible byproducts formed during degradation. The results obtained via HPLC showed that after 60 min, the degradation of the substrate reached nearly 100% in an acidic medium, whereas the mineralization rate (as determined by total organic carbon measurements) was as low as 3%. Data obtained by DI-ESI-MS showed that byproducts were formed mainly by insertions of hydrogen atoms into the nitrile, imine, and pyridine ring moieties, in addition to the observation of chlorine substitution by hydrogen replacement (hydrodechlorination) reactions.
