[ES] Este artículo presenta la propuesta de Educación para el Desarrollo que se recoge en la Estrategia para la Educación no formal de la ciudad de Valencia y su relación con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS). El contenido de la Estrategia se basa en tres ejes fundamentales: 1) un enfoque territorial en el barrio o distrito; 2) la importancia de la coordinación entre actores municipales y las ONGD para desarrollar las propuestas educativas y 3) una serie de temáticas y metodologías prioritarias. La correspondencia de la Estrategia con los ODS ha sido interpretada empleando un marco de análisis pensado para la innovación transformadora. Esta interpretación distingue entre ODS que definen los sistemas sociotécnicos o áreas de aplicación, los que definen la direccionalidad y los que indican las condiciones de contexto. Esta interpretación puede contribuir a aumentar la reflexión sobre los objetivos de transformación de las acciones educativas de una manera sinérgica, evitando perspectivas compartimentadas. Por otro lado, pone de manifiesto la importancia de las redes y coordinación entre actores y la ciudad y sus barrios. Estos son los espacios que necesitan ser transformados y a partir de los cuales pueden partir las transformaciones, [EN] This article presents the relationship between the Strategy of Non-Formal Development Education of the city of Valencia and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The content of the Strategy is based on three fundamental axes: 1) a territorial approach in the neighbourhood or district; 2) the importance of coordination between municipal actors and NGDOS to develop educational proposals and 3) a series of priority themes and methodologies. The correspondence of the Strategy with the SDGS has been interpreted using an analytical framework designed for transformative innovation. This interpretation distinguishes between SDGS that define socio-technical systems or areas of application; those that define directionality and those that indicate context conditions. This interpretation can contribute to increase the reflection on the transformatory potential of educational actions in a synergic way, avoiding compartmentalized perspectives. On the other hand, it highlights the importance of networks and coordination between actors in the city and its neighbourhoods. These are the spaces that need to be transformed and from which transformations can start

Este documento ha permitido incorporar los contenidos de la Educación para la Ciudadanía Global en las acciones que se impulsan desde cada uno de los espacios educativos no formales dependientes de l’Ajuntament de València. Pensar hoy las ciudades requiere asumir consciente y críticamente el marco global en el que están insertas. Esta perspectiva global olvida, en demasiadas ocasiones, no sólo el papel de las organizaciones no gubernamentales, sino también a otros sujetos institucionales, como las ciudades. Sin embargo, en los últimos años, asistimos a un proceso que parece revertir esta lógica. Las ciudades están ganando protagonismo en el ámbito global porque son ellas, en gran medida, el sujeto productor de las políticas al servicio de la vida. Las ciudades son cruciales en este proceso de transformación global y van a ser determinantes en el signo que éste tome. Por ello es fundamental que València se dote de un instrumento como el que presentamos. Una herramienta al servicio de las y los actores llamados a participar en la construcción de la ciudad más justa y más consciente de las implicaciones de los procesos globales que nos afectan. En este proyecto colectivo, la totalidad de agentes contamos. Quienes la habitamos, la vivimos y la creamos y la recreamos; con cada acción que emprendemos y con cada decisión que tomamos. Todo nuestro actuar repercute en la ciudad, también en el mundo. Un actuar que requiere del apoyo de las instituciones y, en especial, de los ayuntamientos, que en su condición de mayor proximidad a la ciudadanía tienen la responsabilidad de facilitar espacios de pensamiento, de reflexión y de aprendizaje, para introducir la perspectiva global en la acción local. Los espacios municipales de ámbito no formal son un entorno idóneo para ofrecer a la ciudadanía herramientas que le ayuden a generar pensamiento crítico, global y responsable. Unas herramientas al servicio de una ciudad más justa, solidaria, igualitaria e intercultural. Este documento

A program is designed and used to obtain the magnetic profile of several vehicles when passing over a rectangular loop. The theoretical values are compared with the actual measurements and the accuracy of the model is checked. Besides, a new oscillator circuit, a component of which is the loop, is presented. Induction change is used to cause the oscillation frequency modification of circuit, which in turn is one of the changes used for vehicles detection, identification and classification.

[EN] Understanding the physical and material characteristics of our historical cities is essential for the preservation of their hereditary and cultural values. Beyond the historical logic of the urban scene and its functional nature, the city is sensed through the spaces, which it creates and configures. The spaces of the historical city represent the soul of its history and the final result of its development. Through the architectural configuration of these spaces, we can visualize the historical and vital logic that underlies the city, the heritage of the people and cultures that make it up. The Study for the Recovery of Urban Spaces in Valencia Historical Center is an interdisciplinary project of intervention in patrimonial architecture, aiming to recover the original image of spaces in the historical city center. This is a project started in 1995 and ended in 2013, which is formed by a series of activities in which both, the Polytechnic University of Valencia as a research institution and the public administrations involved in the processes of regeneration and restoration of the historic center, take part. The aim of the project has been the start-up of a dynamic restoration process of the city's historic urban centre and its landscape value. By combining scientific studies, tasks of awareness and sensitization of population, it aims to determine the formal and chromatic characteristics of original spaces that create the architecture of the city.

[EN] Sharing research data is an increasingly necessary requirement for the advancement of science. The aim of this study was to analyse the policies on openness in sharing scientific research data in substance abuse journals. Journals included in the Substance abuse area of the Journal Citation Reports were used for the analysis, with reference to the instructions to authors published on the journals websites. In 67.6% of the journals, it is possible to store materials in thematic or institutional repositories; 47% accept supplemental material; 64.7% allow the reuse of data, and 41.2% admit the publication of their data on a website. Most journals recommend that authors deposit their data in a repository, but they do not provide clear instructions for doing so. No association was found between the value of a journal s impact factor and the storage and reuse. PubMed Central is the repository primarily suggested for deposit.

[EN] The Silk Exchange of Valencia, Spain, is one of the best examples of late Gothic civil architecture in Europe, and was declared a World Heritage Monument by UNESCO in 1996. Prior to cleaning and conservation, technical examination identified the original pigments used to paint the walls, keys, vaults, arches and columns in the main hall, the Contract Hall. Cross sections of remnants of original colour (blue, green, red, gold, etc.) were investigated with optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray diffraction techniques and UV light. The study has revealed that the original paint today remains only in very limited areas. Evidence for a later maintenance operation of repainting was also found in the inscription that runs around the Contract Hall. The information has been very useful for deciding on the cleaning and conservation process.

This is an author's accepted manuscript of an article published in “Journal of Earthquake Engineering"; Volume 14, Issue 2, 2010; copyright Taylor & Francis; available online at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13632460903086069, The aim of this study was to apply Nakamura s technique to Valencia city center, after some preliminary tests in Barcelona. Previous studies of Barcelona had measured periods in restrictive conditions and in various types of material ranging from very soft soil (with a predominant period of approximately 2 s) to rock (0.3 s), and under different measurement conditions. The Valencia city center measurements were taken by using the distance from buildings and car and pedestrian traffic to construct a measurement grid that was as regular as possible. We also estimated possible soil-structure interaction to detect potential vulnerability.
