My baby


My baby was born last February 8, thank you very much to all who have been outstanding, I am very happy and in love with my child, surely this new phase of my life changes that will generate reflected in everything I do and it will be for good. Now I have to learn many things, and in these two weeks I lived with my son I learned that you read more things to prepare for maternity and baby's arrival, there is always more important than is necessary, which is the instinct and the day to day, and although it is important to inform you, one's experiences are something that will make you grow as a mom.

Selectivity and the myth of demotion

is a commonplace that the phrase "ever come poorly prepared" in the mouths of any university professor (also applies to any other educational level).

It is surprising, therefore, that the pass rate on the selectivity has not stopped increasing. Because there who think that the selectivity "puts the government" or any boutade like that, but the selectivity puts the university. There is a coordinator appointed by the Rector, all court presidents are Professors University and correcting exams are also university professors.

Come on, that the same group that makes and corrects tests, complains bitterly about the outcome. Let everyone think that if believed to be wrong. (The fundamental question we leave for another day).

The graph is this article from El Pais , although the digital version is not.

Anticipating the e-learning

Ma yesterday a friend sent a link to this file . Part of a collection of French postcards from 1910 in which it is a prospective chart what the world in 2000. Almost all are great, because are correct in essence (though not in appearance).

This has to do with what we know today as e-learning, and masterfully takes the main elements that have to walk around, namely
- The role of students, passive
- The role of books text, a key vehicle of content and instruction
- The teacher as content provider
- The inability of technology to alter
models - to the "fellow" giving the handle is easy to recognize ...

This picture is worth a thousand words.

Von Wem Ist Das Electro Lied Bei Den Sims

Let

is not a composition, is a real owner appeared in the press . As is so specialized, that is capable of economic data with 16 significant digits.

Although this event could be classified under the category of "errors" and downplay it, to me it hurts me especially because I spend hours with this issue, whatever their subject. I know that you put a ratio of two numbers (wise) on a calculator and I go many places. The calculator does not have common sense and do strictly what you want, but its user whether to have it and know how many of those decimals sense ... Oh, wait how many make sense?

From a strictly statistical standpoint, if you know the uncertainty of the data to divide, it is trivial to know how many decimal ratio are, but how accurately you know the details of "the economy"? Eye, according to the minister that's what I fell in the third quarter with much precision.

HCE, I read the data 0.3 + - 0.4 and I was very surprised. It was the consensus of IPCC in 1991 on global warming (in degrees Celsius per decade). These scientists were aware of their ignorance, and that awareness of one's ignorance that gives value to the claims made.

How Albert Einstein Used To Dress?

cans pots

sent me a link came where these pots made of beaten cans and painted in pastel colors, I find it very funny idea, and since we're almost coming in spring is a good project decorative and super simple, I put the link here to do: Family Chic, a blog I just discovered and is pretty good, has many projects very nice hand, so I recommend it.

Pain In Lower Stomach And Weeing All The Time

precise act as if it were

time ago I attended a training course on persons with disabilities. Attendees wanted to know more about the world of disability to better deal with these people, either when they are found as well as fellow customers (or users). Among the different types of people you could be of particular interest were those suffering from mental illness. After some talking, and no one put it in this way (perhaps not even understand exactly how) came to my head that somehow you need to know if the guy is touching noses protesting too much deserves special treatment because she is disabled or if you can be treated as he deserves and answer angrily.

is a curious view, which I think we all participate in some way. If the front has "diagnosed" my pride and dignity are not professional game, and although not properly treated me, I do try to fix it (mixed, that if, with another point of superiority and condescension.) However, if no "diagnosis" there is no justification for inadequate treatment and is responding corresponding energy.

we've got tired of saying that disability is no intrinsic quality (hence the insistence on the term "person"). All suffer from disabilities to a greater or lesser degree, at a time or other. If I have an arm in plaster (or even more transient: I have a baby in arms) I have a temporary physical disability, no doubt, and also easy to understand for whom I have before. Likewise we can understand that when a person acts inappropriately (offensive, derogatory, absent) at a given time has a mental illness transient. Perhaps it is as transient as the example of the baby and in minutes is spare, perhaps in the case of plaster and cost you weeks, or perhaps will last the rest of his life. If my relationship with that person is professional and short (he runs a "window" or similar) to see it that way should be sufficient, it is treated properly and ready.

I remembered the whole thing on the subject of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), talking with friends about the difficulty of diagnosing it. To what extent is a "child moved" or "sick of ADHD? How well is it diagnosed? We can apply this case the same reasoning as above: we act as we do, to a greater or lesser degree, more or less transient. All part of the performance "Psychosocial" will be quite sure: make a special case, using well thought out strategies for these children, to provide training on these specific guidelines around treatment, etc. Much less clear is the issue of whether to treat with drugs to any "child moved." But if it is not clear, probably best not to use this medication, leave it for very, very clear cases. Incidentally, my grandfather gave me health "luminaletas" and even "distovagales" in my childhood when I was too moved, as I have heard, come on, that particular fear of side effects of these things. In any case, no treatment is the same point, that I mentioned in the previous paragraph, about mental illness "transitional," which continued treatment as a teacher with students, where the effort to "diagnose" the best is necessary.

Moraleja in absence of "diagnosis", act as if it were.

Chicken And Pineapple Chinese Calories??

magnetic child in Spain La Nave case


news brief but forceful have to share in these summer days. First, in issue 245 of The Skeptical Digital (December 2010) appears an article on The Ship of Fools , explaining why and what we have come to turn us around here. Second, the blog Mihterioh of Siensia , our dear friend Richard Campo, says the number 37 of the vessel with special emphasis on the skeptical nature of the publication, in addition to relieving the quality of its articles. And finally, number 33 of The Skeptic includes a brief report outlining the development of our ship last year, leaving us with a taste Españolísimo. If these arguments have not convinced how important it is for his life he purchased the boat, then we do not know how the hell to convince him.

What Are Some Cool Emo Virtual Worlds?

UPNA and medicine


This joke contains a small sweet spot of a sad story. A story that readers "local" needs no comment, but as I have said some people reading this in other places, I'm going to let a brief description of the event and what it illustrates.

From the Government of Navarra (Department of Health) has created an Institute for Health Research "which brings together all entities that make some kind Navarras health research except UPNA. Brought the issue to Parliament, the Minister took the decision and justified by the "lack of relevant research" of our university. The data show that 36% of the publications made in Navarra from public institutions come from the UPNA, meaning that the data do not support impeachment. The party chairman Councillor (And also a teacher of UPNA) has been banished.

Basically this is an isolated incident wave with a sea foam bottom that lasts for years, takes the 25-year history of the UPNA, who lived at the other university that had previously installed in Pamplona as Installation of the competition. And that competition, far from being healthy (as they say it's competition) has been quite sick in many ways. On many occasions, less outrageous than this, there has been marginalization of public universities on private by public authorities (and it sounds a mouthful, we're going to do.) And health issues entering the vessel Private logo, every effort is little to maintain the status quo, although it is scandalous.

This difficulty of institutional fit between administrations UPNA Navarro has tried to use more than once in internal key, under university policy. I hope that now, before the next election for rector no one to fall into that temptation.

Language Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Platinum

Sorry for not foreseeing the unforeseeable

is big news these days (eg 1 , 2 , 3) the report made by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) which makes a fairly self severe inability to foresee the crisis in which we are immersed. Many tests are made on the issue, if Rodrigo Rato could not know, that if the internal dynamics of the body was flawed, to be put measures to correct the situation.

But I think it is forgotten essential, not because it was impossible to predict.

course now in retrospect is that some of the hundreds of workers from the IMF if it had said would happen. Surely there were predictions tables of all kinds, so that one is right insurance. What happens is that nobody knows in advance which is going to hit this time. In fact the reports amounted to matched non-official. JR Lucas was amazed yesterday that, having RNE so successful prediction does not make case you forget that there were dozens and ex ante none was the right one. Today commented on the uncertainty that produced the prediction failure of the CIA regarding the resignation of Mubarak in Egypt (which yesterday was highly probable its director).

We are so accustomed to have experts able to predict eclipses with millisecond precision, the behavior of electrons at the nanoscale to run smart phones and many wonders like that we think that everything has to be predictable. But this extrapolation includes a serious error: not all processes are predictable. In the case of meteorloogía we all know we can trust (much in the time of morning, less in the past and nothing at all on the inside of a month), but of course, men of the time we are seeing years every day, and have gained this reputation (both positive in predicting the short and long negative) based on verifiable results.

economic variables are as or more unpredictable than the weather, however it remains very strongly the myth of predictability, also has an aura of high technicality (surely the IMF hustle charge much more than meteorologists). Seen this way, with a swinging as spectacular as on this crisis, the best that could be done to maintain the myth is to make a statement (also in report format supertecnificado) that are looking for a reasonable reason to blame the failure.

That
that economics is a science capable of making reliable predictions is a myth. A myth of living (and well) many people, and that helps make some policies more socially acceptable, but as false as that Disney is cryogenic or not he went to the moon ...

UPDATE: Things of serendipity, moments after posting this, I find a collection of failures economists predict very good here in the new blog where he publishes Llaneras Kiko.

Reading The black swan (although it seems irregular, and some confusing points) helped me to support this idea of \u200b\u200bthe myth of scientism of the economy that is already a classic this blog.

Peugeot 205 White Smoke

joint research

I just found on youtube a video that we made some time ago and I had forgotten. Are 3 minutes in explained the two projects that we have been dedicated in recent years Sadar Association for Development Research, a group of teachers (not only but almost), plus the latest research in each discipline, we think it is a unaparte good thing to spend one's own efforts to lines of social impact research, which found no regular funding channels easily. Mine (min 0:47) is the technology for disabled people found, not that I have changed to immunology with Patarroyo.

Short Time Affects Of Cystic Fibrosis

The depth of the lunar conspiracy

Master training of secondary teachers, technology specialists and electronics (all engineers, technicians, engineers or architects). Exercise critical thinking, were we really on the moon? After some time to document and prepare their response, concluded overwhelmingly that. Here I run the script for teacher organized and dedicated the rest of the time trying to get them out of error ... with little success.

The incident left me truly touched spirits. If that engineers think what will be the view of society in general? But we must make a virtue of necessity, some critical the problem: there must be compelling reasons for such confusion.

The ideas that proliferate in the minds of people (with the exception of formally studying) are the winners of a process equivalent to natural selection of genes. This has already raised Dawkins in The Selfish Gene (1976 no less) and gave them the name of memes these competing ideas to proliferate in our minds. For some reason the lunar conspiracy meme is much more "adaptive" that which corresponds to the reality of history.

Science works in a different way because the reality, through experiments, introduces a very different ecosystem of memes that struggle: only those that are consistent with experimental observations can survive, and among them Occam's razor is the ending of selection.

But the staff does not live in that ecosystem, even professional scientists do if not strictly matters of discipline. The trip to the moon does not seem to be in the curriculum of any of the graduates of the story. But that is what is so attractive Conspiranoids meme?

After much reflection, and although there are probably more reasons adjuvants I dare to state one main reason: the myth of scientific and technological progress continued. Somehow seems to dislike the idea of \u200b\u200bbeing able to go but have not done, never to return. And in the same line is that the computing power of Apollo XI is less than that of any mobile phone today. So, without going into the waving of flags or the parallelism of the shadows and be part of a bias in favor of the conspiracy, and documented (if not great depth or with figures standing in the middle) only serves to perseverance in error.

If this explanation were true, it would be paradoxical just trust in scientific and technological progress was the ultimate cause of the denial of one of its main achievements.

For those who have not seen it yet, the etb have done (well, they did Mimesacojea and @ @ Lagamez ) a great TV show about conspiracy moon. It is also essential book @ EugenioManuel on the subject (see review ) and his blog .

Morongo Hotel Valentines Day

To serve the university

was published a few days ago a study made by professors of our university, on working conditions and quality of employment in companies Navarre. One of the book caught my attention: 37% of workers questioned the usefulness of education. Although one can always question the accuracy of the data, a look at the methodological aspects of report (which is wonderfully accessible on the website of the Institution Future is one of the sponsors) can dispel major objections: let us for good . You could also turn to the data and read that 63% of the respondent does not question the value of academic work, and seen and sounds much better (though obviously the same.)

There is a purist who believes that vision is not the mission of the university to train for employment, that this is already training (as its name indicates). According to her as strange that 63% would find value in academic work. The purist view is in recession, and probably just stay within the university, and a minority of staff.

The traditional university, that of the 500-year history (if not 1000) certainly had no professional training function, was devoted to philosophy (philosophy and letters or natural philosophy). Knowledge of nature more practice were creating their own training schools outside the university, some technical and scientific complexity as high or higher than that, as engineering schools. However, in the second half of the twentieth century the prestige of the brand "university" was very large (for some unknown reason) was meeting within the teaching of the most diverse knowledge. Everyone wanted to be a university and is not closed the door to anyone.

This minimal historical introduction helps you understand the job role of the university and its differentiation by disciplines. There are disciplines related to a profession eminently (Law, medicine, nursing, teaching, journalism, etc..), And if they do not prepare for the wrong profession. Other disciplines do not have a direct link to a profession (philosophy, humanities, physics, mathematics, etc..) And therefore it is impossible for employment-oriented training. Another thing is that they obtained training if that is valuable for certain jobs and are not lacking in "career", but will always be more varied and less obvious. The teaching of these disciplines must necessarily be guided by their internal academic dynamics.

Well, now I do not know what to think of 37% thought that the studios have no professional use. Perhaps they chose a poor race, or found a job far removed from their studies ... or studied a curriculum not adapted to reality. The latter case is what I came to mind while reading the news, but if I want to defend this (which by the way if you want) I'll have to find other data that truly endorse.

The joke I got it forges the blog of @ Yoriento an interesting place to delve deeply into issues of employment.
