NTIC en la clase de Inglés : project work and video.

El proyecto propone la introducción y utilización de tecnologías audiovisuales en el área de Inglés mediante la organización de actividades de comunicación y simulación relacionadas con el entorno cultural y los intereses del alumnado. Los objetivos son: capacitar al alumnado para expresarse con fluidez y corrección en inglés; desarrollar la sensibilidad artística; fomentar el trabajo en equipo; introducir al alumnado en el conocimiento de las nuevas tecnologías, sobre todo el vídeo; potenciar la creatividad; y favorecer el uso del inglés escrito y oral en contextos comunicativos. La experiencia, que se centra en el desarrollo del programa de la asignatura para cada nivel, consiste por una parte en un acercamiento a los medios audiovisuales y al lenguaje visual (conceptos técnicos y aspectos lingüísticos y gramaticales basados en sencillas simulaciones); y por otra, en la organización de pequeños grupos que eligen un tema sobre el que recopilan información gráfica y bibliográfica para la posterior elaboración de un trabajo y un vídeo de apoyo. Al final cada grupo presenta su trabajo al resto de la clase, somentiéndose a un proceso de evaluación por parte de sus compañeros y de autoevaluación. La valoración es muy satisfactoria, debido al alto grado de adecuación entre proyecto y memoria y, a la gran ayuda prestada por el equipo directivo. Se adjuntan los trabajos realizados en clase: The Beatles, Dracula, The Silence of the Lambs, The Olympiads, The First Twenty, Cinderella, etc..

Didactics–promoting collaborative work and personal learning environment. Critical, creative and autonomous roles in a competitive society

School has evolved from a place where knowledge is provided to a place where learners are helped to develop their professional and social skills. Consequently, education must evolve through big challenges in order to face the changes of society in the XXIst century

The effect of consumption volume on profile and liking of oral nutritional supplements of varied sweetness: sequential profiling and boredom tests

Oral nutrition supplements (ONS) are routinely prescribed to those with, or at risk of, malnutrition. Previous research identified poor compliance due to taste and sweetness. This paper investigates taste and hedonic liking of ONS, of varying sweetness and metallic levels, over consumption volume; an important consideration as patients are prescribed large volumes of ONS daily. A sequential descriptive profile was developed to determine the perception of sensory attributes over repeat consumption of ONS. Changes in liking of ONS following repeat consumption were characterised by a boredom test. Certain flavour (metallic taste, soya milk flavour) and mouthfeel (mouthdrying, mouthcoating) attributes built up over increased consumption volume (p 0.002). Hedonic liking data from two cohorts, healthy older volunteers (n = 32, median age 73) and patients (n = 28, median age 85), suggested such build-up was disliked. Efforts made to improve the palatability of ONS must take account of the build up of taste and mouthfeel characteristics over increased consumption volume.

Irreversible compressible work and APE dissipation in turbulent stratified fluid

Although it plays a key role in the theory of stratified turbulence, the concept of available potential energy (APE) dissipation has remained until now a rather mysterious quantity, owing to the lack of rigorous result about its irreversible character or energy conversion type. Here, we show by using rigorous energetics considerations rooted in the analysis of the Navier-Stokes for a fully compressible fluid with a nonlinear equation of state that the APE dissipation is an irreversible energy conversion that dissipates kinetic energy into internal energy, exactly as viscous dissipation. These results are established by showing that APE dissipation contributes to the irreversible production of entropy, and by showing that it is a part of the work of expansion/contraction. Our results provide a new interpretation of the entropy budget, that leads to a new exact definition of turbulent effective diffusivity, which generalizes the Osborn-Cox model, as well as a rigorous decomposition of the work of expansion/contraction into reversible and irreversible components. In the context of turbulent mixing associated with parallel shear flow instability, our results suggests that there is no irreversible transfer of horizontal momentum into vertical momentum, as seems to be required when compressible effects are neglected, with potential consequences for the parameterisations of momentum dissipation in the coarse-grained Navier-Stokes equations.
