E. U. Magisterio de Vitoria-Gasteiz. Plan general Practicum I. Comisión de prácticas, 21 de marzo de 2011

[ES]La adaptación de la Universidad Española al Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EEES) ha supuesto un cambio en los estudios universitarios que se advierte en su estructura (títulos de grado de cuatro años,) y que debe manifestarse también en las metodologías utilizadas. En los estudios de Magisterio la nueva ordenación de las enseñanzas ha supuesto la unificación de las anteriores especialidades en dos títulos de grado: Maestro de Educación Infantil y Maestro de Educación Primaria. En estos nuevos títulos las Prácticas de Enseñanza continúan teniendo un importante papel y constituyen un momento privilegiado de integración entre la teoría y la realidad de las aulas. El Practicum es el conjunto de actividades en las que diversas instituciones colaboran con la Escuela Universitaria de Magisterio, a fin de poner al alumnado en contacto con el mundo profesional. Supone la inmersión de los estudiantes en centros educativos con la finalidad de conocerlos directamente, integrar conocimientos teórico-prácticos, y adquirir competencias profesionales en todos los ámbitos de actuación.

E. U. Magisterio de Vitoria-Gasteiz. Plan general Practicum II. Comisión de prácticas, 21 de marzo de 2012

[ES]El Módulo de Practicum se organiza en dos materias: Prácticas escolares (38 créditos ECTS), y Trabajo fin de grado (12 créditos ECTS). Las prácticas escolares se realizarán en los dos ciclos de Educación Infantil (0-3, 3-6) y en los tres de Primaria (1ª-2º, 3º-4º, 5º-6º). Al tratarse de un Practicum progresivo, los estudiantes de los grados de Magisterio cursan la materia a lo largo del segundo, tercer y cuarto curso (Practicum I, Practicum II y Practicum III) con contenidos que tienen continuidad y que suponen un nivel de competencia superior respecto el anterior. El Practicum supone para el alumnado una oportunidad de adquirir e integrar las habilidades, los conocimientos, las competencias y la práctica necesarios para el ejercicio de su profesión, así como una ocasión para reflexionar de forma individual y grupal acerca del aprendizaje realizado. El Practicum I pretende que el alumnado establezca un primer contacto como futuros profesionales con un centro escolar, y realice una observación de carácter global, integrando los conocimientos aprendidos en la Escuela de Magisterio, ajustándolos a la diversidad del aula, a la escuela y al entorno social de ésta, y dedicando una especial atención al tratamiento de género. El Practicum II, al que se refiere esta guía, corresponde al tercer curso y se centra en el desarrollo docente de experiencias de enseñanza y aprendizaje con alumnado de la etapa, la implicación en la vida del ciclo y etapa y el ejercicio de la autocrítica y la reflexión en relación al propio desarrollo formativo y profesional. Se pretende que los estudiantes reflexionen de forma crítica sobre su conocimiento práctico inicial puesto en acción en esos contextos y sobre las condiciones que determinan su forma de pensar y actuar. El Practicum III está relacionado con las menciones (minor) y con la participación en proyectos de innovación.

Biological report - fish mortality, River Conder, 21.7.79

Following a large scale fish mortality caused by a considerable spillage of a pentachlbrophenol-based disinfectant from a mushroom farm, a biological survey of the river Conder was undertaken on 23.7.79. A spillage of this same make of disinfectant from this mushroom farm in February 1976 caused a similar large scale fish mortality. On that occasion, the pollution appeared to have little effect on the benthic invertebrates of the river Conder, with no dead organisms found, although the small beck which received the spillage was quite badly affected. This recent spillage of disinfectant involved a considerably greater volume (approximately 900 gallons) than the 1976 discharge and so this report looks at whether invertebrate fauna of the main river were affected on this occasion. Kick samples were taken at a number of sites in the river Conder from the confluence with the polluted beck to Conder Green. A control sample was also taken upstream of the confluence with the polluted beck. All samples were examined on site and live and dead invertebrates noted and identified as accurately as possible.

Workshop and Symposium on Sustainable Small-scale Fisheries: Towards FAO Guidelines on Marine and Inland Small-scale Fisheries, 19-21 September, 2011, Kolkata, West Bengal, India

The workshop and symposium titled Sustainable Small-scale Fisheries: Towards FAO Guidelines on Marine and Inland Small-scale Fisheries was jointly organized by the National Fishworkers’ Forum (NFF) and the Society for Direct Initiative for Social and Health Action (DISHA), in collaboration with the International Collective in Support of Fishworkers (ICSF). The workshop was the first in a series of consultations around the world organized to discuss the Voluntary Guidelines on Small-scale Fisheries (VGSSF) and propose measures, keeping in mind the interests and concerns of small-scale fisheries and fishing communities. The workshop was also a forum to make the role of small-scale fisheries and fishworkers more visible in the context of food security, poverty alleviation and sustainable use of fishery resources. The workshop had 62 participants from both the marine and inland sectors, representing 10 States of India. The participants included fishworkers, representatives of fishworker organizations, policymakers and representatives of multilateral organizations. The workshop was structured to facilitate active interaction and discussion among participants, taking into account linguistic diversity and the contextual differences of the marine and inland sectors. This publication will be useful for fishworkers, fishworker organizations, researchers, policymakers, fish farmers, members of civil society and anyone interested in small-scale fisheries and livelihoods.

Avaliação dos testículos de ratos submetidos à torção testicular antes, durante e após a puberdade, e o efeito do tratamento com L-arginina

Torção testicular (TT) é uma síndrome urológica comumente encontrada em recém nascidos, crianças e adolescentes. Neste trabalho foi estudada as lesões morfológicas e a função reprodutiva em ratos adultos que sofreram TT, em diferentes idades de maturidade sexual e o efeito protetor da L-arginina, contra os danos causados pela isquemia/reperfusão na torção testicular. Dezoito ratos pré-púberes (4 semanas de vida) dezessete púberes (6 semanas de vida) e dezessete adultos (9 semanas de vida) foram submetidos à TT. Sob anestesia o testículo direito foi rotacionado em 720 e fixado, sendo então destorcido após 4 horas. Vinte e quatro ratos (ARG4, n=8, ARG6, n=8 e ARG9 n=8) foram submetidos ao tratamento com 650mg/kg de L-arginina, por via oral, durante 7 dias. Outros trinta ratos de mesma idade sofreram cirurgia simulada (SH4, n=10, SH6, n=10 e SH9, n=10). Com 12 semanas de idade, foram submetidos ao acasalamento controlado com 3 fêmeas e ao vigésimo dia de gestação o número de fetos, corpos lúteos, absorções e implatações foram contados. Na 14 semana, os ratos foram mortos e os espermatozóides coletados da cauda dos epidídimos, foi anotado o peso corporal, o peso e volume testicular. O soro foi usado para dosagem de testosterona. Foram avaliadas a concentração, motilidade e a viabilidade espermática. Os testículos coletados foram fixados em Bouin, pós-fixados em formalina e processados em parafina. Utilizando o programa de imagem Image J, lâminas coradas com HE, mensuramos a altura do epitélio, densidade volumétrica e diâmetro do túbulo seminífero. Para avaliar a integridade do epitélio seminífero foi utilizado a frequência dos estágios do ciclo do epitélio e o escorre de Johnsen. Também foi avaliado a proliferação do compartimento tubular e intertubular, através da imunomarcação com PCNA. Os dados foram tabulados e as médias dos grupos comparadas pelo teste de ANOVA com pós-teste de Bonferroni ou teste de Kruskal-Wallis com pós teste de Dunns (programa Graphpad Prism, com p < 0,05). Os resultados revelaram grandes danos produzidos pela injuria testicular, no testículo ipsilateral, com diminuição da capacidade reprodutiva, da concentração, viabilidade e mobilidade, do peso e volume testicular. Animais TT9 não apresentaram espermatozoides nas amostras coletas. Houve diminuição do diâmetro dos túbulos seminíferos e da altura do epitélio, aumento do compartimento intertubular, com ênfase dos vasos sanguíneos, aumento da proliferação celular estromal e diminuição da proliferação epitelial. Houve diminuição da concentração sérica de testosterona no grupo TT4, quando comparado como grupo TT9. Em geral, os animais submetidos à torção na fase adulta foram os mais acometidos. Não foram encontradas alterações dignas de nota, nos testículo contralaterais. Animais tratados com L-arginina obtiveram melhora dos índices reprodutivos, com aumento da potência em todas as idades. Houve aumento da concentração espermática no testículo contralateral de ARG4 e ARG6, mostrando que a L-arginina atuou como antioxidante. Não houve proteção para as lesões causadas pela torção na maioria dos grupos, mas os animais tratados ARG9 apresentaram concentração espermática mensuravel, quando comparados aos ratos TT9, que tinham azospermia.

Linking elements of the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) with the planned National Water Quality Monitoring Network. Proceedings from the NOAA-Supported workshop 19-21 September 2005

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), in cooperation with the New Jersey Marine Sciences Consortium (NJMSC), hosted a workshop at Rutgers University on 19-21 September 2005 to explore ways to link the U.S. Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) to the emerging infrastructure of the National Water Quality Monitoring Network (NWQMN). Participating partners included the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association, U.S. Geological Survey, Rutgers University Coastal Ocean Observing Laboratory, and the New Jersey Sea Grant College. The workshop was designed to highlight the importance of ecological and human health linkages in the movement of materials, nutrients, organisms and contaminants along the Delaware Bay watershed-estuary-coastal waters gradient (hereinafter, the “Delaware Bay Ecosystem [DBE]”), and to address specific water quality issues in the mid-Atlantic region, especially the area comprising the Delaware River drainage and near-shore waters. Attendees included federal, state and municipal officials, coastal managers, members of academic and research institutions, and industry representatives. The primary goal of the effort was to identify key management issues and related scientific questions that could be addressed by a comprehensive IOOS-NWQMN infrastructure (US Commission on Ocean Policy 2004; U.S. Ocean Action Plan 2004). At a minimum, cooperative efforts among the three federal agencies (NOAA, USGS and EPA) involved in water quality monitoring were required. Further and recommended by the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy, outreach to states, regional organizations, and tribes was necessary to develop an efficient system of data gathering, quality assurance and quality control protocols, product development, and information dissemination.

Deep coral and associated species taxonomy and ecology: (DeepCAST) II Expedition Report, Roatan, Honduras, May 21-28, 2011

NOAA has a mandate to explore and understand deep-sea coral ecology under Magnuson-Stevens Sustainable Fisheries Conservation Act Reauthorization of 2009. Deep-sea corals are increasingly considered a proxy for marine biodiversity in the deep-sea because corals create complex structure, and this structure forms important habitat for associated species of shrimp, crabs, sea stars, brittle stars, and fishes. Yet, our understanding of the nature of the relationships between deep-corals and their associated species is incomplete. One of the primary challenges of conducting any type of deep-sea coral (DSC) research is access to the deep-sea. The deep-sea is a remote environment that often requires long surface transits and sophisticated research vehicles like submersibles and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). The research vehicles often require substantial crew, and the vehicles are typically launched from large research vessels costing many thousands of dollars a day. To overcome the problem of access to the deep-sea, the Deep Coral and Associated Species Taxonomy and Ecology (DeepCAST) Expeditions are pioneering the use of shore-based submersibles equipped to do scientific research. Shore-based subs alleviate the need for expensive ships because they launch and return under their own power. One disadvantage to the approach is that shore-based subs are restricted to nearby sites. The disadvantage is outweighed, however, by the benefit of repeated observations, and the opportunity to reduce the costs of exploration while expanding knowledge of deep-sea coral ecology.
