Este artículo analiza la importancia que, en un contexto de madura cultura democrática, tiene la educación de la ciudadanía, sobre todo de la juventud, en las cuestiones relacionadas con el Derecho. En tal sentido, enfatiza el valor que adquieren para los programas de "Derecho en la Educación" el conocimiento y conciencia de los derechos y deberes del hombre y de la mujer, así como una adecuada comunicación de los derechos y obligaciones de los abogados en el ejercicio de su actividad profesional. El artículo propone también diversas orientaciones prácticas para la educación en el Derecho en el marco específico de las asignaturas de formación cívica y en la administración de justicia.

Sacha Inchi (Plukenetia Volubilis) (SI) is a plant native from Peru. The fruit of this plant is an oilseed than contains a high content of oil which is rich in unsaturated fatty acids (91.6%), being one of the seeds that contain this type of fat in higher percentage. For the extraction of this oil, the extrusion method was used, using an endless screw that allows the pressure increase in the dough, separating the oil contained in the seed. For this, an experimental extractor was adapted and put into operation to obtain this oil, extracting it at room temperature. To analyze the physicochemical characteristics of the seed, moisture, fiber, ash, fat and protein analyzes were conducted. Once the oil was obtained, the yields were calculated, and the following analyzes were performed: acid index, relative density, iodine value, peroxide index and fatty acid profile. Those results were compared with the analysis made to olive and fish oil, known for their high content of fatty acids, resulting that Sacha Inchi oil is better in both quality indexes, as in percentage of unsaturated fatty acids.

This article presents a review on the fundamental theoris in the field of distance learning, on the subject of formative assessment, especially concerning constructivism-based self-evaluation. Additionally from an Instructional Technology approach, ideas on self-evaluation within instructional design will be examined, as well as the strategies and actions proposed, so that students may use them to improve learning.

A state-of-the-art procedure aimed to estimate the frequent gaps of missed monthly and annual rainfall data items of tropical stations was designed and tested. For the gaps assessments the procedure included the adjustment by using a statistical parametric transference of the nearly continuous satellite monthly rainfall registers coming from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) with the available discontinuous monthly rainfall data items of the station under consideration. The procedure was experimentally applied to the 216 monthly rain gauge values in mm measured with Hellman pluviometer from the station Karimao (Period 1998-2015) located at 12 km to the SE of Caracas (Venezuela), in the study area of Caracas near La Pereza reservoir. The TRMM data included 216 monthly original values in mm (1998- 2015) downloaded for this area from the Internet web page Giovanni maintained by NASA in the United States of America with minimum resolution of 120 km2. The original TRMM data have an overestimation of 30 %. After the adjustment of the original monthly TRMM data, the analysis of a random sample of 42 missing data gaps was simulated and this helped to calculate a large non-acceptable error of ±40 % but the annual values obtained with the whole TRMM monthly adjusted values produced a small acceptable error of ±11 %. Finally, even though a good result was obtained for the annual level, the recommendation is a careful use of satellite data to fill rain gauge data gaps in tropical areas. The original TRMM satellite was substituted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
