El interés por instrumentos analíticos portables que permitan la detección de metales al alcance de más usuarios ha crecido en los últimos años. Los teléfonos inteligentes se han convertido en laboratorios portátiles. La Química Analítica encontró en los teléfonos una oportunidad para detectar y cuantificar diferentes analitos en tiempo y espacio real sin la necesidad de realizar análisis en el laboratorio (un ejemplo es la detección colorimétrica de metales en agua). En este artículo de divulgación se expone el alcance de los teléfonos inteligentes como herramientas para la detección de metales. Además, se plantea un caso de estudio en el que se utilizó una película sensora biodegradable a base de almidón, gelatina y un indicador colorimétrico para la detección de cobre, zinc y níquel.

The inclusion of information and communication technologies in the foreign languages teaching-learning process is a challenge due to the possibilities it offers to modern life and the profession. Health professionals who attended to the English post graduated course at the Sancti Spíritus Medical University showed limitations in writing. The objective of this article is to expose the didactic benefits of creating a WhatsApp group as a tool for the writing fluency improvement in the English as a foreign language intensive postgraduate course for health professionals. A systematization of experiences was carried out with a group of health professionals attending to the English postgraduate course at the Medical University during the 2020-2021 academic year. To get information, the following methods were used: documentary analysis, qualitative interview, in-depth session and participant observation, during the application of the actions and triangulation for the qualitative interpretation of the information. The results show advances in motivation, group work and the authentic negotiation of meaning through instant messaging. The WhatsApp group was conceived as an effective way to improve writing fluency in the English language, as a foreign language, in health professionals who attend to postgraduate studies.

In recent years, digital technologies applied to archaeology have led to considerable changes in fieldwork. However, the use of mobile GIS for fieldwork has not been widespread, especially in countries where GIS is not yet entrenched within the field of archaeology. Over the last decade, the technological context associated with mobile GIS has changed. In this text, these changes are discussed based on a case study developed in Catamarca (Argentina), in which the possibilities of a more generalized use of mobile GIS—based on free, open, and available resources (software, data, devices)–are discussed. This article assesses the main problems faced and describes the basic steps taken to implement a field recording system based on mobile GIS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Place and gender are key notions for interpreting gambling. Canvassing the work of Deleuze and Guattari, this article elaborates the concept of sports betting assemblages to better understand the everyday geographies of gambling. The account draws on a sensory ethnography with young men who use smartphone sports betting applications in the context of the regional city of Wollongong, Australia. It asks what geographers can contribute to gambling studies when sports betting and the socio-material arrangements that constitute them are conceived as essential components of place and gender. Our aim is to open debates about sports betting and risk beyond a conventional focus on genetics, psychological makeup, social structures and representations. Particular attention is given to the emotional and affective geographies found in the making and unmaking of sports betting using smartphone betting applications. We argue that paying attention to emotions and affective geographies is critical if accounts of sports betting applications are to move beyond simplified biological or representational accounts.

Este artículo tiene como finalidad evaluar el efecto de una aplicación para dispositivos móviles, desarrollada para el aprendizaje de las operaciones algebraicas en estudiantes universitarios. La investigación tiene un enfoque cuantitativo de tipo correlacional, con diseño experimental de pre- y post-prueba en dos grupos. El grupo experimental utilizó la aplicación AppMatetics, diseñada para dispositivos Android, durante tres semanas. La muestra estuvo conformada por 196 estudiantes de primer semestre, pertenecientes a una institución educativa mexicana, que fueron divididos en dos grupos mediante el método de emparejamiento. En la postprueba, el grupo experimental tuvo una calificación media de 3.87, mientras que el grupo control obtuvo una media de 2.97. El p fue de 0.034, menor de 0.05, lo cual indica que hubo una diferencia significativa en las calificaciones de los grupos experimental y control. Se concluye que los usuarios del software AppMatetics tuvieron un mejor rendimiento que aquellos que no lo usaron, lo cual refuerza la necesidad de incorporar los dispositivos móviles en el proceso formativo de los estudiantes, empleando aplicaciones especialmente diseñadas para ello.

The purpose of this article is to evaluate the effect of an application for mobile devices, developed for the learning of algebraic operations in university students. The research has a correlational quantitative approach, with a pre- and post-test experimental design in two groups. The experimental group used the AppMatetics application, designed for Android devices, for three weeks. The sample consisted of 196 first-semester students, belonging to a Mexican educational institution, who were divided into two groups using the matching method. In the post-test, the experimental group had a mean score of 3.87, while the control group had a mean of 2.97. The p was 0.034, less than 0.05, which indicates that there was a significant difference in the scores of the experimental and control groups. It is concluded that the users of the AppMatetics software had a better performance than those who did not use it, which reinforces the need to incorporate mobile devices in the training process of students, using applications specially designed for this.

Different digital technologies can be inserted in the educational context to assist with the teaching and learning processes in the current times. Considering that smartphones represent one of these possibilities, some researchers have directed their investigations approaching this theme. In this sense, the present study aimed to identify the paths taken and the considerations raised by Brazilian researchers who are inserted in stricto sensu graduate programs, which deal with the usage of smartphones in math classes. A systematic review was carried out, focusing on professional master's dissertations available at Capes thesis and dissertations database. In this review, 15 dissertations were selected for analysis. The research identified that a large part of the studies analyzed indicate that smartphones can be used in the classroom through educational applications. In addition, it was possible to perceive research gaps, as no texts found handle with Higher Education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents two experiments that take advantage of smartphones pressure sensor, using it to determine the value of the pressure within in equilibrium water in a test tube. In a first experiment, aimed at students of secondary and higher levels, the data collected with the pressure sensor of a smartphone at different depths allow a linear fit, thus checking the validity of Stevin's Law. In addition, based on this law and the parameters of the adjustment it has been possible to determine the density of the water. The density values obtained indirectly by this procedure differ between 2% and 4% of the result of dividing the mass and volume of a sample. In a second experiment, more focused on students of the first university courses of Physics subjects, the submerged smartphone oscillates suspended from a spring. The measurements of the pressure sensor allow, through Stevin's Law, to obtain the time series of the pressure in the corresponding damped oscillation, whose parameters are determined by a non-linear adjustment. The comparison of the free pulsation obtained from these values differs by 1.5% from that obtained from the direct measurement of the period outside the water. In both cases, the results obtained indicate the suitability of the current methodology in teaching contexts.

Smart cities represent the natural development of the traditional major city because of new information and Communications Technology applied to their daily operating processes. in the cities’ process of comprehensive transformation, the citizens and the content aimed at them should appear in order of priority. However, they seem to be missing in the large majority of studies and research on the topic. This article focuses its attention on the analysis of digital apps by pioneering Spanish cities such as Valencia, Coruña and Burgos, in the field smart city apps and their content, as well as innovations that improve their integration into the new digital ecosystem.

Information and communication technologies have given way to virtual spaces of socialization and have displaced face-to-face. This has generated behavioral changes in individuals, especially in young people who have been born and have developed in the time of change. The incorporation of these new technologies into the daily activity of human beings has been one of the events with the greatest social impact in the last two decades; the Internet, the smartphone, videogames and social networks have gone from being a mere instrument of interpersonal communication to become a platform of increasing complexity, which impacts the private sphere and is projected into the public sphere in conditions that are difficult to understand a few years ago. Its use generates in people different sensations related to independence, social status, security, control and leisure. However, not all are advantages; the excess and abuse of Information and communication technologies can result in behavioral alterations and can become a real risk if one is aware of its use and its scope.

With the prevalence of smart devices and wireless Internet, pnvacy has become a pivotal matter in governmental, academic, and technological fields. Our study aims to understand Taiwanese university students' privacy concerns and protective behaviours in relation to online targeting ads and their habitual smartphone usage. Surveying 810 valid subjects, our results first propose that ad relevance has direct bearing on attention to ads. Second, ad relevance inversely correlates with privacy concerns (i.e. descending personal control and surging corporate power) and protective behaviours (self-filtering and ad evasion). Third and finally, neither privacy concerns nor protective behaviours have a negative bearing on habitual smartphone usage. Opposite to previous research, our study concludes that Taiwanese college students exhibit zero privacy paradox, owing to no signs of privacy concern incited by mobile targeting ads, no evidence of significant protective behaviours, and no decreasing habitual smartphone usage out of privacy concern and protection. Our findings indicate Taiwanese university students' shaky awareness of potential risks and crises from exposure to vulnerable online pnvacy management. To deal with this, we suggest educating youths' understandings of digital jeopardy by experts is urgently needed more so than |ust technical tutonals of privacy settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The increasing relevance of personal information has sparked a broad debate on privacy issues on the ubiquitous Internet. The so called 'privacy paradox' aims to explain through rational decision-making models the contradictions between stated digital privacy concerns and the actual behaviors in mobile platforms. An analysis of the emotions that arise when users know about unauthorized personal data disclosure is proposed. A survey of smartphone users was conducted shortly after the Cambridge Analytica / Facebook scandal took place, in order to analyze the nature and intensity of a user's emotions in relation to their knowledge of privacy breaches. The results support the paradox of privacy from an emotional perspective: although the reported emotions are intense, there is no relationship between the management that users make of their privacy settings in social networks and mobile applications and the nature and intensity of the emotions reported.

This article interrogates the concept of technical memory in relation to smart city systems. Using the example of the UK air pollution monitoring system Automatic Urban and Rural Network (AURN) and how information from this system is displayed in smartphone air monitoring apps, the article theorizes the memory of smart systems. Developing the work of Garcia, the article rethinks Stiegler's retentional accounts of technical memory, which suggest that memory is held or inscribed on or within a particular technical object. To do this it argues that technical memory can be productively considered as a form of artificial comprehension. Here, the memory of smart systems is analyzed through a variety of logics that disclose particular qualities of objects for particular purposes, which shapes how people make sense of and respond to their environment. Through the example of AURN, the article suggests that the concept of artificial comprehension is useful for geographers studying a range of smart and nonsmart technical systems.

El objetivo principal del presente trabajo ha sido analizar el uso que los adolescentes realizan de Internet y los teléfonos móviles. Se utilizó un diseño descriptivo, para la muestra se seleccionaron aleatoriamente 10 centros educativos, registrando 874 encuestas. Los adolescentes utilizan masivamente la Red, accediendo a la misma cada vez más a través del teléfono móvil, no aparecen casos llamativos de dependencia en el empleo del teléfono móvil. Otro de los problemas detectados ha sido el del tiempo de conexión a Internet, que aumenta de manera significativa al igual que destacan otros estudios similares. Es fundamental potenciar el papel de familias y centros educativos para dotar a los jóvenes de estrategias que les permitan realizar unos usos adecuados.

La proliferación de dispositivos inteligentes ha trascendido los ordenadores y los teléfonos móviles para pasar a integrarse progresivamente en todas partes: televisores, radios y ropa son o pronto serán inteligentes, susceptibles de nuevas aplicaciones y usos. Pero el logro más sorprendente de esta nueva tecnología es que, por primera vez, está estrechando la brecha tecnológica en vez de ensancharla: el público de la tercera edad está adoptando estos aparatos gracias a las facilidades de personalización y adaptación a sus necesidades específicas, tanto de accesibilidad como vitales. Nos hemos propuesto analizar este fenómeno y clasificar someramente las aplicaciones que lo han hecho posible, de manera que podamos entender mejor la importancia relativa de cada una.

A lo largo de los años se ha ido desarrollando la idea de que los avances técnicos suponen la extensión de los sentidos del ser humano. Un proceso que ha permitido a la sociedad evolucionar. De la relación entre el ser humano y la tecnología surge el concepto de cíborg (Clynes y Kline, 1960), con un gran desarrollo en la ciencia ficción y que en un primer momento hacía referencia a la incorporación de elementos exógenos al ser humano para facilitar su adaptación a ecosistemas extraterrestres. Otras definiciones posteriores (Clarck, 2003) proponen considerar al cíborg como el resultado de la interacción entre el ser humano y la tecnología. Partiendo de esta definición, el presente artículo pretende conocer el modo en el que los teléfonos inteligentes cumplen actualmente la función de nexo entre la parte biológica y la parte tecnológica del ser humano cíborg. Para ello, a través de una metodología cualitativa (historias de vida) se analiza el papel de estos dispositivos en las vidas de ocho jóvenes. La relevancia de investigar a jóvenes reside en el papel que este colectivo social desempeña a la hora de incorporar y difundir los elementos tecnológicos novedosos en la sociedad. La investigación se desarrolla en Aragón, una comunidad autónoma española que continúa representando un territorio periférico, con escasa presencia tanto a escala poblacional como económica en el conjunto español. A pesar de ello y a diferencia de lo que ocurrió en otros momentos de la historia, Aragón se ha acercado incluso en sus zonas más periféricas a los estándares de penetración y usos tecnológicos del resto del mundo. Los resultados de la investigación confirman el importante papel que desempeñan los teléfonos inteligentes en las vidas de los jóvenes como extensión de sus sentidos, en particular de sus cerebros.

Recently, the use of smartphones has been proposed as a real option for developing measurement instruments in different areas (e.g. bio-sensors, spectroscopy, electro chemical sensor) due to their processing, visualization, connectivity and image capturing capabilities. In this work, we propose the development of a low-cost miniaturized spectrometer that uses the camera of an Android smartphone and processes the images in a self-developed software (spectrometric Android App). It includes a measurement kit with a cuvette holder, an optical fiber with a connecting element, and a high luminous efficiency white LED. The spectrometric Android App allows an initial wavelength calibration and a subsequent calibration for measuring absorbance/transmittance, to obtain spectral curves in real-time. We validated our prototype with a case study in the industrial area, by measuring the concentration of chrome in tanning liquors, and comparing the results with a calibrated conventional spectrophotometer. Thanks to our approach, measurements can be done in-situ and in real-time, thus allowing optimized tanning processes, without requiring expensive measurement equipment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
