En baloncesto, cuando se practica con menores, no puede obviarse el componente educativo, al margen de las habilidades tácticas y técnicas que lo caracterizan. Desde la perspectiva de educar a través del deporte, se implantó el “Programa infantil de baloncesto en hospitales” de la Fundación Real Madrid para contribuir a la formación y bienestar de los menores ingresados. Esta actividad fue totalmente adaptada a las características de los menores y al contexto en donde se desarrolló. Dada la importancia de los familiares y personal sanitario, el objetivo principal de este estudio fue conocer la percepción y grado de satisfacción de estos dos colectivos en cuanto al programa mencionado. Se realizó una investigación de tipo descriptivo. La población total del estudio fue de 115 personas, de las cuales 70 fueron familiares y 45 fueron personal sanitario. Se utilizó un cuestionario realizado ad hoc con un total de 29 ítems. Los resultados revelaron una gran satisfacción de los participantes sobre el desarrollo del Programa, valorándolo como una actividad deportiva, educativa y lúdica. Destacaron el fomento de valores como el compañerismo, la motivación, el respeto y la autoestima. Resaltaron la labor del profesorado y la capacidad de adaptación de las actividades y juegos planteados. Por otro lado, manifestaron la necesidad de más sesiones semanales, mayor tiempo de duración de éstas y mejoras en las instalaciones donde se desarrollaron las actividades. Como conclusión, en opinión de los participantes, el Programa infantil de baloncesto en hospitales fomentó valores educativos a través de la práctica del baloncesto. Summary. In basketball, when practiced with minors, the educational component cannot be ignored, regardless of the tactical and technical skills that characterize it. From the perspective of educating through sport, the "Children's Basketball Program in Hospitals" of the Real Madrid Foundation was implemented to contribute to the training and well-being of minors admitted. This activity was fully adapted to the characteristics of the minors and the context in which it took place. Given the importance of family members and health personnel, the main objective of this study was to know the perception and degree of satisfaction of these two groups regarding the aforementioned program. A descriptive research was carried out. The total study population was 115 people, of whom 70 were family members and 45 were health personnel. A questionnaire was used ad hoc with a total of 29 items. The results revealed a great satisfaction of the participants about the development of the program, valuing it as a sport, educational and recreational activity. They highlighted the promotion of values such as team-spirit, motivation, respect and self-esteem. They highlighted the work of the teachers and the ability to adapt to the activities and games proposed. On the other hand, they expressed the need for more weekly sessions, longer duration of these and improvements in the facilities where the activities were developed. In conclusion, in the opinion of the participants, the children's basketball program in hospitals fostered educational values through the practice of basketball.

espanolLos incendios forestales se han convertido en un problema creciente para el medio ambiente y la proteccion civil en un contexto de cambio global. El potencial de los grandes incendios forestales tiende a crecer por la mayor frecuencia de ventanas meteorologicas y escenarios paisajisticos favorables. Estos incendios forestales son y pueden ser cada vez mas importantes en la estructura y configuracion del paisaje, asi como para bienes y personas, por lo que resulta esencial anticiparnos. Se propone una metodologia centrada en los objetivos de las acciones que identifica de antemano las oportunidades que puede tener la extincion para limitar el alcance de los grandes incendios forestales, ubicando actuaciones y empleando directrices de diseno mas eficientes y seguras para las acciones de prevencion. Se desarrollan las Areas de Defensa (AD) y los Rodales de Actuacion Estrategica (RAE). Esta metodologia es la que actualmente se esta aplicando en los Planes de Defensa contra incendios forestales en la Comunidad Autonoma de Aragon. EnglishWildfire have become a growing problem for the environment and civil protection in a context of global change. The potential of large forest fires tends to grow due to the higher frequency of weather windows and favourable landscape scenarios. These wildfires are and can be increasingly important in the structure and configuration of the landscape, as well as for goods and people, so it is essential to anticipate. A methodology focused on the objectives of the actions is proposed that identifies in advance the opportunities that extinction can have to limit the extent of large forest fires, locating the areas and using more efficient and safe design guidelines for prevention actions. The Defense Areas (AD) and the Strategic Action Stands (RAE) are developed. This methodology is what is currently being applied in the Defense Plans against Wildfire in the Aragon region.

Diaspora is the first step towards an encounter with the other, forcing a re-negotiation of one’s cultural identity. This quest for the self, known as diasporic consciousness, is thought to be disruptive, having the power to de-essentialize national narratives. While diaspora does shake the core of individuals, this paper differentiates diasporic from hybrid consciousness as two distinct discourses of self. Maintaining a diasporic consciousness means to sustain the idea of a physical ‘home’ that has been forever lost. The constant desire to ‘return’ underscores an unconditional alliance to the homeland and its diasporic footprint. Consequently, the diasporic experience does not necessarily produce transgressive forms of cultural identification. On the contrary, those who dwell on diasporic consciousness reify national discourses abroad. The language of nationalism remains intact, and ‘native’ and ‘other’ constitute themselves through a dialectic but mutually exclusive relationship with devastating consequences for those who cannot cope with the binary. The alternative to diasporic consciousness is Bakhtinian heteroglossia, for it exposes national discourses as ‘epic,’ and de-territorializes ‘home’ to find it in language. Hybrid narratives of self connect diverse memories, images, and experiences into individual stories of identity that ultimately transform official discourses of national, gender, religious, and racial identifications.

El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar las preferencias de interacción social de los chicos y chicas de la de las Escuelas Sociodeportivas de Baloncesto de la Fundación Real Madrid. La muestra estaba formada por 413 jugadores, 68% (n=281) chicos y 32% (n=132) chicas. La distribución por categorías fue, el 31,2% pertenecían a la categoría Benjamín (n=129), el 36,1% a la categoría alevín (n=149), el 25,2% a la categoría infantil (n=104) y, el 7,5% a la categoría cadete (n=31). El instrumento utilizado fue la Escala Graupera/Ruiz de Preferencias de Interacción Social (GR-SIPPEL), que explora cuatro dimensiones de preferencia de aprendizaje: Cooperación, competencia, afiliación e individualismo. Para el análisis estadístico se utilizaron pruebas no paramétricas (U de Mann-Whitney y Kruskal-Wallis), se calculó el tamaño del efecto y, para determinar si existían asociaciones entre las distintas dimensiones se utilizó el coeficiente de correlación de Spearman. Los resultados mostraron que el Proyecto Deportivo-Educativo de la Fundación Real Madrid contribuye a que no existan diferencias acentuadas en función del sexo. Además, los chicos y chicas presentaban una mayor inclinación hacia las actitudes cooperativas frente a las competitivas. Por otro lado, se detectaron diferencias entre las categorías de minibasket (benjamín y alevín) y las categorías de baloncesto (infantil y cadete).Abstract. The aim of this study was to analyze the social interaction preferences of boys and girls at the Real Madrid Foundation's Socio-Sports Basketball Schools. The sample consisted of 413 players, 68% (n=281) boys and 32% (n=132) girls. The distribution by category was 31. 2% in the Benjamin category (n=129), 36. 1% in the alevin category (n=149), 25. 2% in the infants’ category (n=104) and 7. 5% in the youths’ category (n=31). The instrument used was the Graupera/Ruiz Scale of Social Interaction Preferences (GR-SIPPEL), which explores four dimensions of learning preference: Cooperation, competence, affiliation and individualism. Non-parametric tests (Mann-Whitney U-test and Kruskal-Wallis) were used for statistical analysis, the size of the effect was calculated, and Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to determine if there were associations between the different dimensions. The results showed that the Real Madrid Foundation's Sports-Educational Project contributes to the fact that there are no marked differences according to gender. In addition, boys and girls were more inclined towards cooperative attitudes than competitive ones. On the other hand, differences were detected between the categories of minibasket and the categories of basketball.

The aim of this study was to analyze the implementation of a sports-educational program in prisons where the Real Madrid Foundation&rsquo, s Social-Sports Program is carried out. For that purpose, a survey of 468 inmates was conducted at 21 prisons in Spain where the Real Madrid Foundation implements its program (441 men (94.23%) and 27 women (5.77%)). Inmates stated that the program had had a favorable influence on their life in prison and considered that their participation in the program might have a significant influence on the likelihood of them continuing to play sports when they are released. In addition, inmates felt that they had learned a great deal about the contents relating to football and the values they had worked on, and that the program had had a very positive effect on their overall development as a person.

This paper analyses Maryse Conde’s I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem as a narrative of identity shaped by nomadism, exile, and intercultural encounters. I argue that Tituba’s constant movement challenges the rigid boundaries imposed by traditional forms of identification. This movement is not limited to space, since the narrative is cyclical and contrapuntal. Therefore, the psychological, spatial, and temporal wanderings of Tituba reveal a sense of being that is hybrid, in Bakhtinian terms. She transcends socially prescribed identities based on static conceptualizations of time, place, community, race, gender, and language. Tituba is what Bakhtin calls, “an act of becoming.” She affirms a dialogic and ever-changing sense of self, which is free from external and monologic narratives of identification.

La enseñanza y aprendizaje del baloncesto en las etapas de iniciación supone un doble reto para los entrenadores/as, dada la posibilidad de contribuir al incremento de los valores educativos de los deportistas, simultáneamente a su labor específica del baloncesto. La presencia de programas concretos, que ayuden a los entrenadores/as a transmitir valores educativos, puede ser muy importante, siempre y cuando sean programas asequibles y útiles en el ámbito del entrenamiento y la competición. En las Escuelas de Baloncesto de la Fundación Realmadrid, en el marco del proyecto denominado "Por una Educación REAL: Valores y Deporte", se ha creado un programa llamado "La Alineación de los Valores" con el fin de facilitar la labor educativa de los participantes. Se han elaborado unos cuadernos didácticos para uso de los entrenadores/as, los jugadores/as y sus familias. En la temporada 2011-12, los entrenadores/as que han utilizado los cuadernos didácticos como herramientas de trabajo, con diferentes equipos de categoría benjamín, alevín, infantil y cadete, han sido 17. Los resultados son positivos, puesto que: a) estos materiales didácticos han permitido incluir y estructurar adecuadamente determinados valores educativos en la programación táctica y técnica de los entrenadores/as durante la temporada; b) ha fomentado el diálogo y la reflexión de los participantes, tanto en los entrenamientos como en la competición; c) la puesta en práctica ha derivado a propuestas susceptibles de mejora para próximas temporadas.

Background and Purpose— Early hematoma growth is one of the main determinants of mortality in patients with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). Transcranial duplex sonography (TDS) might represent a useful tool for the bedside monitoring of early ICH enlargement. We aimed to correlate ICH volumes measured by TDS and CT scan in patients with ICH evaluated Methods— We prospectively studied 34 patients with supratentorial ICH evaluated 20% in the hematoma volume at 6 hours. Results— ICH was identified on TDS as an hyperechogenic mass located in the basal ganglia in 28 patients and in the lobar position in 6. Mean hematoma volume at baseline was 86±4 5 mL. At 6 hours, early hematoma growth was seen in 9 (26%) patients. An excellent correlation was found between TDS and CT measurements for all diameters: longitudinal ( r =0.91, P r =0.85, P =0.002), coronal ( r =0.79, P =0.022) and for total hematoma volume ( r =0.82, P =0.001). When all obtained measures were matched, the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.888 (95% CI, 0.8 to 0.937). Conclusion— TDS showed an excellent correlation with CT in measuring the extent of bleeding in patients with hyperacute ICH. TDS may represent a reliable useful tool for monitoring ICH noninvasively at the patient’s bedside.

Competitive sport is one of the key contexts in the development of values through sport, given the very significant ambivalences and contradictions involved within sport. Since the 2008-09 season the Real Madrid Foundation has launched in its basketball schools an educational project of transmission of values called "For a REAL Education: Values and Sport", which has led to the development of different teaching materials including the "White Card" program, an educational resource that tries to encourage good sportsmanship and moral development of participants. The aim of this work is to analyze how useful the program is to both trainers and families. The program has been applied to 338, 356 and 334 players aged between 8 and 17, by 16, 15 and 18 teachers in 2010-11, 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons respectively. The methodology used in intervention has been action research and the instruments used for data collection were group discussion, questionnaire, survey and our own white cards given to players in tournaments. The assessment of this resource has been very positive from the coaches, and a high percentage, of parents of the young athletes.

La competición en etapas de iniciación supone un excelente medio de aprendizaje para los jugadores/as, y una oportunidad magnífica de reforzar los conocimientos y actitudes transmitidas, para el profesorado. Por todo ello, desde las Escuelas de Baloncesto de la Fundación Realmadrid, y más concretamente desde el proyecto "Por una Educación REAL: Valores y Deporte" (Fundación Realmadrid, 2012), hemos centrado nuestros esfuerzos en elaborar una herramienta que nos permitiera aprovechar el potencial de la competición a nivel educativo. A través de nuestro modelo competitivo, que está basado en la demostración de buenas conductas y la aparición de valores positivos, decidimos implantar el programa Tarjeta Blanca. Este programa, que comenzó a desarrollarse en la temporada 2010-2011, consiste en una forma de reconocimiento a todos aquellos jugadores/as que demuestren actitudes y conductas positivas durante la propia competición. Nuestro objetivo es fomentar la aparición de esas conductas deseables, dando a conocer al alumnado cuáles de sus actos son dignos o merecedores de ser valorados positivamente. A su vez, creemos que con esta propuesta nuestros entrenadores/as también salen reforzados y esperamos que motivados, ya que estarán incentivados a observar y descubrir las conductas que pueden ser susceptibles de ser premiadas. Como dato más relevante deseamos mencionar que en la última edición del Torneo, se han premiado 308 conductas destacadas a nivel educativo sobre un total de 358 participantes, lo que demuestra la presencia y la relevancia del programa en nuestra competición.

During the optimization of the TP400D6 engine (powering the A400M military transport aircraft), the mechanical design of the Front Bearing Structure has proven to be one of the most challenging topics in the engine development programme. One of the leading technical subjects has been the design and optimization of the thermal anti-icing system of the component. When non-specific icing simulation software tools are available, the effect of the water impingement and runback water is difficult to simulate. The objective of this paper is to show one particular aspect learnt during the design and development phase of the project: the evaluation of the error obtained in the calculation of metal temperatures on an antiiced airfoil surface due to the effect of water impingement and runback water. TP400D6 engine front end arrangement consists of a single radial structure after the engine air intake performing both the structural and aerodynamic function, transmitting bearing and high propeller loads and being the compressor IGVs. The anti-icing system employs hot compressor bleed air circulating internally in the component through a series of internal channels and passages and exiting the airfoil through trailing edge holes. Due to airfoil aerodynamic constraints and material selection, it was realised in the earlier stages of the project that it was not possible to heat the whole vane profile up to the trailing edge. In consequence, the effects of the impingement water and runback of non-evaporated water from the intake and the IGV leading edge itself, play a key role on the determination of the airfoil surface temperature and potential ice accretion. Because of not having a specific icing simulation software, water impingement and runback water effects cannot be predicted with sufficient accuracy. During the engine programme’s development phase, a dedicated component antiicing rig test was conducted in order to evaluate and obtain a closer approximation of the real behaviour of the system. The scope of this paper is to go through the details of the aforementioned effect of icing water on airfoil surface temperature, focusing on the discrepancies between predicted temperatures and test rig measured temperatures. Typical thermal modelling is used, which incorporates the best possible understanding of the water particle impingement pattern onto the airfoils and flow lines distribution around the IGV profiles. Results from the rig test have been applied to the traditional thermal model in order to improve the thermal prediction simulation and understanding of the component.Copyright © 2008 by ASME
