Initial teacher education aims to teach how to teach. To this end, it has been proposed that programs formally incorporate opportunities for understanding and training in pedagogical practices, both in courses and in the field. This study aims to explore the planning, execution, and contribution to professional training of the incorporation of opportunities for learning pedagogical practice (OLP) in courses offered on the university campus. A descriptive study was conducted in three teacher training programs: pre-school, primary, and secondary education. First, planned OLPs were identified by analysing the syllabus of 72 courses. Then, the perception of executed OLPs was examined by surveying 231 student teachers. Finally, the contribution of OLPs to professional training was investigated by interviewing 8 student teachers. The most planned OLPs by teacher educators were planning learning experiences and simulating what a teacher does during a learning experience. The latter was the most frequently executed OLP by the student teachers, who acknowledged that simulations allow them to: 1) apply the content, 2) learn from mistakes, 3) practice metacognitive monitoring and self-assessment, and 4) approach the complexity of teaching. The findings of this research can be used by training institutions to support the incorporation and design the implementation of OLP teaching from the first year of the training program, with particular emphasis on simulating what a teacher does before and during a learning experience.

Introduction: Due to the limitations in acquiring raw materials to produce beer, the Tínima Brewery Company has had its production very depressed. For this reason, the company set itself the task of looking for alternative productions. Objective: To simulate the process of obtaining Tínima Base Wine for the analysis of the influence of the main operating variables, which make the process more efficient from a technical-economic and environmental point of view. Materials and Methods: With the base wine production conditions, the simulation of the process was carried out with the SuperPro Designer program, called base case, then the evaluation of two alternatives was carried out: influence of temperature and influence of initial concentration of sucrose in the fermenter, taking into account that the process is efficient from a technical-economic and environmental point of view. Results and Discussion: It was determined that the best results were obtained with the alternative of increasing the initial sucrose concentration in the fermenter. Conclusions: In the fermentation of alternative 2, the production of alcohol is high, but with the remaining glucose and fructose the fermentation could be extended to 10 days, the CO2 emission has a low impact on the environment and the alternative 2 is selected the best, where fermentation is at 15 °C and an alcohol concentration of 85.86 g/L is reached in 9 days, with a lower unit cost and higher annual production volume.

Introduction: In the treatment of waste water at the "Desembarco del Granma" textile factory there is a neutralization tank, which resembles a continuous reactor with agitation. This equipment uses H2SO4, which must be replaced by a chemical agent with a lower impact on the environment. Objective: To determine the viability of using the existing reactor at the "Desembarco del Granma" textile factory for the neutralization of residual water when using CO2. Materials and Methods: Continuous stirred reactors were compared at laboratory and industrial levels, where the criterion of geometric similarity was considered. The Aspen Plus program was used to simulate the industrial reactor, considering the kinetics obtained at the laboratory level. The fluid package selected was the UNIQUAC. Results and Discussion: The speed at the tip of the impeller is the same for both reactors and the relationship between the diameter of the impeller and that of the tank remains practically constant, so there is geometric similarity between the reactors. The pH of the residual water neutralized with CO2 was 7.2, showing adequate neutralization. Conclusions: Geometric similarity was evidenced between continuous stirred reactors at laboratory and industrial levels. The pH of the neutralized wastewater in the industrial reactor, determined by simulation, was 7.2. It was proven, with the use of Aspen Plus, that the textile company's industrial reactor can be used for the wastewater neutralization process when CO2 is used instead of H2SO4.

The design of a control system for the treatment of cooling water of a sulfur former in a crude oil upgrader is presented, to maintain the conductivity of the cooling water in established ranges, and in this way avoid the accumulation of minerals in the pipes which deteriorates the cooling system. In the development, the physicochemical properties to be controlled were determined, such as conductivity, its biological agents and the dissolved solids (TDS) present in the water, treating the conductivity through controlled purges and the microorganisms and TDS through the dosage of chemical products. Also, the conductivity and chemical dosing control system was designed using a Programmable Logic Controller, the different components such as sensors, pumps, valves, level meter and conductivity meter were selected and subsequently the control system was validated through simulation of the process within the LOGO SOFT comfort software. The results demonstrated the correct on and off operation of the pumps and valves, and it was concluded that the design is capable of keeping all the parameters controlled in the event of any change in the input variables.

In Ecuador and Colombia there is a belt of crystalline rocks of the Jurassic age, in which discoveries of copper porphyry-type mineral deposits have been made during the last decades. The reason for carrying out the present study is in the northern part of the Putumayo department, a prospective area for the discovery of porphyry-type mineral deposits of Cu-Mo, like Mocoa. For the identification of geochemical anomalies from the regional exploration stage, geostatistical modeling is used through the conditioned turning bands simulation tool, using data from 443 fine current active sediment samples, taken in basins within the study area draining mainly Jurassic age rocks. The automatic cartography of turning bands carried out for each of the elements under study identified four anomalies of regional importance, corresponding to geochemical signatures in the identification of copper porphyry systems on the surface.

The Y410 circuit of the distribution network of the municipality of Camagüey has a large extension, its layout is rural, and it has a high number of interruptions. In the initial section there are important clients such as Frigorífico and IPVCE. Since the greatest number of effects do not occur in this initial part, it was proposed to study this circuit with the objective of moving the Nulec Y230 from its position to the position of the disconnector C214. In addition, the possibility of synchronizing the PSFV "Antonio Pías Gómez I" and the PSFV "Antonio Pías Gómez II" of 2.5 MWp each to this circuit was studied. The circuit was modeled, carrying out the flow of loads, the study of short circuit levels and the coordination of electrical protections. The results of the study allowed the connection of the photovoltaic systems, but not the movement of the Nulec Y230 to the position of the C214. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The narrative work of Cuban Calvert Casey (1924-1969) receives a decided influence from the literary and metaphysical world of the great Franz Kafka. This article shows some of the Kafkaesque constants that populate Casey's stories. Atmospheres, symbols, characters, simulated attitudes, feelings of threat and hostility build the work of one of the most courageous and original Cuban writers of the sixties, who would also dedicate one of his essays to the author of The Metamorphosis.

In order to develop a simulation model that reconciles the different biological-based mathematical algorithms used to calculate mineral requirements in beef cattle, bibliographic theoretical information has been compiled to lay the foundations for it. The model was developed in an Excel environment with the help of Excel macros. Two mineral samples were evaluated, simple mineral salt and protein salt for beef cattle. For validation were employed beef cattle with +/-290 kg body weight maintained on native pasture. Both, the mineral salt as the protein salt showed deficiencies to cover the mineral requirement of macro minerals, mainly phosphorus with a shortfall of 56 % in average. In the case of the trace minerals they were all covered sufficiently and expressed excesses principally in Fe and Mn, both for the mineral salt and for the protein salt. As for the simulations of daily weight gain, the software yielded results in both cases with lower daily weight gains than those obtained in practice, with a difference of 12%.

This paper proposes the geometry-based polylinal routing method as a solution for motion planning in object sorting exercises in manufacturing processes. This algorithm is based on geometric properties that arise from the interaction among objects within the configuration space. The method proposed in this paper, during its experimental phase, successfully generated smooth routes with a processing time ranging from 62.5-125 ms on a computer equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight-Core 3.70 GHz processor and 16 GB of RAM. When compared to the RRT algorithm, it exhibits a higher efficiency of 38% to 48%, resulting in a reduction in iterative processes and a shorter response time. Therefore, the proposed method presents a viable solution for addressing motion planning scenarios in object sorting exercises. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Simulators are an effective tool for finding optimal operating conditions and their control. The objective of this study was to use the Sugar process simulator to model and study the clarification stage at the Cristino Naranjo Sugar Agroindustrial Company in the province of Holguín in Cuba. The study carried out started from an analysis of the restrictions present in the technological flow and the main parameters to be taken into account, in order to obtain a productive cycle with the efficiency and productivity demanded. The material and energy balances were made with the historical data of the 2015-2016 to 2019-2020 harvests using Sugar International and the critical points of the process were detected and analyzed. The critical points detected are: the flow of steam supplied to the primary and secondary heaters, the milk of lime, the bagasse, and the flow of washing water. The values of the operation variables that allow it to operate efficiently are: in the case of the primary and secondary heaters of 17 232,6 kg/h and 13 866,0 kg/h respectively, for the lime milk it was 4,849.4 kg/h, bagacillo 2 159,6 kg/h and washing water 5,960 kg/h.

The Chilean Navy has promoted research, development, and innovation, marking a position inside the academic world, hence, generating instances for its students to be fully involved in activities of this nature. Hand in hand with the above, in 2018 students of the Academy were awarded monetary resources to carry out a project to implement an academic-size towing tank laboratory for research and teaching in the maritime field, project that was postulated to the contest of the Institutional Development Fund of the Ministry of Education. This work shows the design process that allowed the implementation of a academic-sized towing tank to measure the total hull resistance of boats through the study of the behavior of different hulls to scale, as well as the arguments of the students to determine the different characteristics of the water tank, tow truck, towing and speed control system, and data acquisition system.

We propose and evaluate two imputation methods for missing data of fine particulate matter on air. We assume a 24- variate normal distribution, one per weekday, due to the fact that the imputed data are hourly data on a 24-hour daily cycle. From this distribution properties, the imputation methods are based on the conditional distributions for missing hours, starting from hours with available records. We estimate the weekday variancecovariance matrix using two methods: maximum likelihood (denoted by ∑), and shrinkage (denoted ∑*). Afterwards, we verify the missing completely at random (MCAR) assumption using the Little’s test, and also de multivariate normality using the Mardia´s test. Finally, we evaluate the proposed methods through a simulation trial, generating suitable scenarios for this kind of problems. We use two evaluation criteria: the coefficient of determination (R 2 ) and the square root of the mean square error (RMSE). We use a 2018 data set from Cali, Colombia, to illustrate how to use the proposed methods. We reach R² values of around 0,70 and 0,49, and RMSE values of around 5,7 and 8,5, for the methods based on ∑ and ∑*, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The last decade has seen the consolidation of Computational Archaeology and the Digital Humanities as key disciplines in the multifaceted study of historical processes. In this regard, the use of different software packages or programming languages for data analysis has notably increased among archaeologists. However, in many cases open research protocols are not fully observed (when access to data and code are not always granted), which makes reproducibility impossible for other research groups. The present article reviews the transparency of works published in the most important journals of the Iberian Peninsula, to evaluate the degree of openness within the Iberian research community.

This article presents an epistemological review of social simulation in archaeology, delimiting it as a practice, method and branch thereof. As a practice, social simulation is positioned amongst other intensive applications of digital technologies to the humanities and social sciences. As a method, we define it as a form of mathematical modelling that contains mechanisms, especially social ones, and which thus demands numerical solutions. We briefly present the characteristics of social simulation, including the central role of agent-based modelling. Finally, we contextualize the place of social simulation within archaeology, offering a brief review of applied examples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A suitable design of manufacturing facilities can increase the efficiency of a company's internal operations by optimizing material handling and flow costs. This paper addresses the facility layout planning problem (FLP), modeled as a quadratic allocation problem (QAP), applied to a company dedicated to the production of liquors. The problem was solved using the Computerized Relative Allocation of Facilities Technique that belongs to the heuristic algorithms, which allowed us to determine the best allocation of the departments, considering the distances traveled and the material flow costs. Subsequently, a simulation was carried out to evaluate the new distribution given the company's daily activities, considering the variability of loading and unloading times. The simulation results suggest that, if the new layout is implemented, material flow costs and times would be reduced by 13.22 % and 4.28 %, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: clinical simulation is a learning tool that integrates knowledge, skills, participation and commitment of the student, allows reproduction, feedback, assessment and reflection. It is an opportunity to generate competencies that favor the formation of critical thinking, clinical reasoning and judgment, communication skills, teamwork, problem solving and decision making. Objective: to identify the perception of undergraduate nursing students on clinical simulation as a learning experience in a public university institution in northeastern Mexico. Methodology: a quantitative approach, descriptive and cross-sectional design was used in 477 nursing students. The questionnaire "Nursing students' perception of clinical simulation as a learning experience" was used. Ethical normative aspects established in Mexico were considered. Results: students' perception of clinical simulation as a learning tool was very good in 49.5% and good in 44.9%, indicating that it was a positive experience. Conclusions: the perception of clinical simulation as a learning experience shown by students was positive. It favored the attitude to work in a team, strengthened leadership, communication, integration of theory and generation of critical thinking. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Pharmacy students must achieve learning in the affective domain to attain the professional values that underpin patient-centred practice and self-directed, lifelong learning. An array of learning and teaching activities, including gaming and simulation, are used to achieve affective learning. The aim of this research was to evaluate affective learning in participants of an extended, immersive, gamified pharmacy simulation. Methods: Student teams managed simulated pharmacies, assuming the role of autonomous pharmacists to complete regular, scaffolded, pharmacy-related tasks and safely provide medicines and counselling. The 3-week gamified simulation was designed to develop teamwork and collaborative skills, while enhancing students' professional identity, confidence and competencies. Affective learning was assessed via analysis of student reflective journals. Final-year pharmacy students completed debriefing and reflection at specific timepoints during participation in the 3-week gamified simulation. The validated Griffith University Affective Learning Scale (GUALS) was used by trained external assessors to evaluate the highest levels of affective learning detected in student reflective journals. Quantitative analysis of GUALS scores was conducted using SPSS 25. Means were computed per student for each week, regardless of journalling frequency, and changes over time compared. Results: From 2016 to 2018, 123 students participated in the simulation, generating 734 reflective journal entries for analysis. Overall, affective learning was evident, and its level increased over the course of the simulation. This was primarily associated with the improvements of female students. Conclusion: An extended, immersive, gamified pharmacy simulation induced and enhanced affective learning in final-year pharmacy students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The Rural Inter-Professional Simulation Course (RiSC) in New Zealand is a 3-day immersive course that brings rural doctors and nurses together to practise emergency and trauma skills using workshops and a simulation-enhanced interprofessional experience (SEIPE). The course aims to increase practitioners' psychomotor skills, communication, teamwork and leadership skills through simulationbased learning and translate this into the management of trauma in rural settings. Methods: This study employed an exploratory, descriptive design to explore transfer of learning from RiSC into clinical practice 8 months post course participation. Six registered nurses who participated in RiSC took part in semi-structured interviews. The transcribed interviews were analysed using a general inductive approach. Results: The nurses valued the learning experience in RiSC and used the skills they learnt in clinical practice, however factors such as their perception of the authenticity of the scenario and performance anxiety impacted the SEIPE. The nurses also observed interprofessional dynamics playing out during the SEIPE. Conclusions: RiSC is effective for rural trauma team training, however some aspects of the use of simulation in interprofessional education could be further enhanced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
