The University of Alicante is stained with astrology

As Luis Alfonso Gámez account in Magonia , the next day will be held October 2 (so to speak) in the headquarters city of Alicante the University of Alicante nothing more and nothing less than this

Actually the "Days" (odd name considering that the event lasts one day) have nothing to do with the University of Alicante. Quite the contrary: Alicante can boast of having many good amateur astronomers, and most of them are or have been linked to the University . From the campus of St. Vincent have made many astronomical observations and Venue in Alicante city itself organizes each year, this time officially, a Dissemination Conference Astronomy. And, as any astronomer knows, nothing is further from the beautiful reality of heaven that astrological nonsense.

What happened? Simply because they've been glued to the university. Headquarters Ciudad de Alicante, like many other cultural venues, gives facilities for other activities. As they explain on their web ,

The Venue in Alicante city has a stable program each academic year is published in its portfolio of activities, which occasionally add other cycles, conferences and events. In times of no use by Headquarters, facilities provided to applicants, with priority requests from the AU. The rest are served by order of request, which should be directed to the Academic Board at Headquarters. The UA reserves the right to charge for the use of facilities or technical material, although usually free transfer to entities or nonprofit that do not charge for attendance at the events that develop in the field.

The problem therefore is that the Academic Headquarters has not used any filters that would prevent the center one day become a circus of inventors of horoscopes and astrological charts. Thus also gives rise to that can be see images like the one reproduced above, in which the logo of the English Association of Astrology is placed on an equal footing with the headquarters city of Alicante and the University.

That is certainly a shame. And it would not hurt those who are against a University buries its reputation for action or, as seems the case, omission, we tell the Alicante. Maybe they avoid having to return to our list.


Update September 30: Both Javier Armentia as José María Mateos echo the Chairman's letter of the English Astronomical Society been sent to the Rector of the University of Alicante. We do not know if this and other initiatives to stop this nonsense will get, but worth a try.


Updated to 1 October: The vice provost for university outreach at the University of Alicante has acknowledged making no verification of the kind of act they were going to hold, to Despite which will not cancel, even after knowing that the organizers teased him to the University (more information here ). So, with regret long, the University of Alicante is on our list. May it be the last time.

1.1.3 Types

Segmentation: The process of dividing a potential market in different subsets or segments of consumers who have needs, characteristics or behaviors homogeneous among themselves but heterogeneous between segments, which may require products or services and can be achieved by different mixtures Marketing tailored to each group.

market

can distinguish basically four types of market in terms of number of speakers and related thus, the ability of these to influence the price.

In real life, markets are generally present at the same time characteristics of several of these models, though one is usually dominant.

a) Perfect Competition

products offered by different vendors are basically identical. A buyer will acquire an asset almost like a vendor or another.

The number of buyers and sellers is very large so that each individual has no ability to influence the price. It says they are "price takers."

An example can be packaged milk market. When a buyer goes to the supermarket will usually find a variety of brands milk quality is virtually identical and similar prices.

A producer may sell its brand of milk at a price well above its competitors as consumers replace this brand for some of the competition.

b) Monopoly

In this market there is only one seller so that, unlike the previous case, completely dominates the market and can pricing of its products.

In some countries there are still a single phone company completely controls its market, setting prices for calls.

c) Oligopoly

In this market there are a limited number of vendors so you do not have the total control that has a monopoly but they are not mere " price takers. "

Being a small number of vendors it is possible to agree among themselves to try to fix the price that suits them (to the detriment of consumers).

For example, the oil sector is dominated by a small number of producing countries grouped in an association (poster) called OPEC exerts a major control on the price per barrel.

d) monopolistically competitive market:

There are many sellers but their products are not completely identical, there are differences between them. Therefore, the buyer will not buy another product just like the competition.

This will allow each vendor to exercise some control over the price of your product.

For example, publishers of books. All offer book but every book is different. A reader does not give you as buying a book by an author or another but seeks a work. This allows publishers to have some leeway in setting the price books.

Market Efficiency

The efficiency of a market model, either perfect competition, monopoly, oligopoly or monopolistic competition can be measured through derive benefit buyers and sellers.

To compare the efficiency of these models is that market which one do with this benefit is maximized. The demand curve reflects the decisions of thousands of potential buyers.

Each buyer is represented by a point on the demand curve. This point represents the maximum price that the buyer is willing to pay, and that price is merely the maximum value to the buyer that good.

1.2 Market Size 1.1.2 Market

determine the size and Market value refers to the total of goods or services that are demanded by the population or region where we are, and of course depend on the consumer profile, and how many people there with this profile in the region. In the above example of the uniform, we can calculate the market value by multiplying the total number of students by the average price in this type of product, the result is the approximate market value in pesos, but we must not lose sight of you probably already There are other manufacturers of the same and then the market size and value is divided by the total manufacturers offering the same.

Another way to calculate it is to add unit sales and value of all firms in a category, that gives us the size and market value. There are practical ways of doing, for example if we know that the sale of consumer products in this country is done by 70% through supermarkets, and we have a way to get it, in this example we take the grain, see how many brands exist and how many boxes of each brand in each shelf, and with a rule of thumb, we can obtain a very rough, the share of each brand in the market, and if this is multiplied by the number of hypermarkets and supermarkets at national, we obtain roughly the size and value of the cereal market at a national or regional, if applicable. In the notes of the instructions on the form of projects is an example with numbers:

Total population = 800 000 people (out of 5 colonies radius of our home)
Market

= 480 000 young people (60%)

potential market gross = 360 000 people (75% that used linen blanket)

net potential market or market Target brand = 72 000 people (5 Assuming that there are other significant marks)

target market in units per year = 216 000 garment (bearing in mind that consuming 3 items)

The University of Santiago de Compostela and his Masters in Natural Medicine

Although there is no clear definition of what is "natural medicine", it seems that there is a definition, say, practice: what is to mix all kinds of therapies, real or alleged, they are more or less outside of scientific medicine. That, at least, what seems to understand the University of Santiago de Compostela, which wishes to offer the world its Master of Natural Medicine.

see, if not, the super the Masters program:

Block 1. Naturopathic Medicine

Block 2. Fitoterapia

Block 3. Homeopathy

Block 4. Traditional Chinese Medicine

Block 5. Nutrition and dietetics

Block 6. Hydrology

Block 7. Manual Therapy Practical activities

At first glance, you see, has all the earmarks of being a course quite assortment of pseudoscience. But first impressions are deceptive: a look at the detailed program of each block can see that it is not that well stocked, it is no more because they do not fit. Students at the University of Santiago will receive comprehensive training in Geobiology, bio and purification of the body , yemoterapia , acupuncture and reflexology or kinesiology, among other scientific practices, ahem ... well, let's leave it there.

And of course, is not lacking either the homeopathy, which is engaged in nothing less than a block. While it may be possible to validate the degree from another institution of prestige ...

But not everything can be critical. Admittedly, for example, which is very interesting that the course includes as a practical activity stayed a weekend at a spa , which is always welcome. And thank, above all the excellent information provided by the Web Master. For example, under "Professionals and staff " takes us back to blog Integrative Medicine, which, although there are forays into topics as exciting as the morphogenetic field body, the collective consciousness or Cartoon McDonalds hamburgers immortal, the author focuses mainly on homeopathy. The funny thing is that between jokes on various remedies and "theories" energy and photonic also misses a critical input rather as which he talks about the number of Avogadro and the "suicide" homeopathic the campaign 10 23. And is that the texts shot here and there must be more careful, dammit.

As when programming a web. Because, look for where the course website also offers an interesting section of text to download that allows one to last (with resources like this dispensatorio American , ahem, 1918 pdf ), And that's where we found the most rigorous and scientifically unimpeachable the Master. Because if you pressed the link that promises to bring nothing less than to something called " Homeopathy: evidence of its effectiveness " land on an Italian website among other things says

Which is simply undeniable. Right?

Barcelona College of Chiropractic and the title "university" of chiropractic

From the beginning this list is spent on travel and university courses relating pseudo titles, that is, posing as scientists. But this time, and without a precedent (or serving as a precedent, we'll see) we will talk about a new category: about studies that are not just pseudo, but they provide pseudotítulo .

is nothing less than the Diploma of Chiropractic.

Chiropractic is a therapy called pseudo , despite its proponents say it is a health profession , the fact is that is not recognized as such in our country. And maybe not ever be reached because despite an attempt by a Autonomous Region, has now lost much popularity. Partly because of the numerous dirty rags brought to light the attempt (failed) of the British Chiropractic Association to silence the science writer Simon Singh through a judicial procedure . And partly, too, by the increasingly widespread evidence that that practice is not only ineffective, but downright dangerous .

Well, despite this there are two centers in Spain to give this title: Real Centro Universitario Escorial-María Cristina Barcelona and College of Chiropractics.

I speak in pseudo-day supply of RCU Escorial-Maria Cristina , which seems intent to offer their unsuspecting students degrees in all kinds of shoddy materials. Yes, without realizing that this is unofficial degrees. The center offers some careers officers, and nearly all with names very politically correct and all, but a glance at form the Ministry of Education can check that Chiropractic is not one of them.

But worse is even the case of the Barcelona College of Chiropractics. Indeed, in its web are limited to saying that

But not so in other places. So, nothing less than the Association English Chiropractic, in the same homepage includes a link to the Barcelona College of Chiropractics indicating that this is a "University in Barcelona":

And if there remain doubts in press release that was sent to various media to celebrate the 115 anniversary of the day when David Palmer was transformed from a sausage vendor miracle healer, again pointing out that

Although

still a long way to go, to study chiropractic in Spain is now possible since 2007 with the creation of two higher level university degrees : first, in the Real Centro Universitario Escorial-Maria Cristina (San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Madrid), Barcelona and College of Chiropractic, which took off last year. In both universities, it takes five years of study, and a final year to practice the profession [emphasis added].

Again, the finder Ministry denies such a thing with the addition of the Barcelona College of Chiropractic does not appear anywhere. Come on, that at most the "title" is valid between themselves chiropractors. In the future, we mean. Because now, apparently, not :

Anyway, this is already loop the loop: pseudoterapia, pseudotítulo and above, pseudouniversidad. More than in our list of shame, should enter the list of shamelessness ...

SHORT

What are digital natives and immigrants? Should we continue talking about the natives of this separation of Internet users? is obvious that new technologies and their introduction into our classrooms, our homes, our libraries, in short, everywhere has been very positive for what we call modern education. It is true that in the network, that great and incomprehensible being, there are a large number, variety and quality of materials and resources. But we must differentiate between network users, as Prensky notes or as we read in the blog of Jorge del Rio .

A clear way to visualize when talking about the digital divide to see the difference and understand when we talk about digital natives and digital immigrants: the former are those that connect every day, live online and produce content and are under 44 years. It is true that there are a number of generations at birth had no internet access at home, which had not mobile and have lived around appointments and VHS cassettes, to cite some examples from the analog world. While recent generations have been born into homes with Internet, mobile, MP3, iphones ... These principles would lie the difference between digital natives and digital immigrants. But you can find members of both groups who are not able to make use of Googlemaps, simple to insert a picture on your blog, using GoogleDocs, to edit a Wiki or upload photos to Flickr and tinkering. Is it useful to continue talking about digital natives? Maybe, but with nuances. This is where you insert the work on those network users that are not digitally-trained to use the network's richest.

Regarding terminology digital native and digital immigrant not seem to fit very well the second term describe the content you want, it would be wrong to suggest other terms to try to speak more clearly. It may propose another as Digital foreign , digital foreign , pre-digital , perhaps the latter is the most suited and more meaningful it seems that much more clear to the content which it refers. But if you accept and take this change in terminology, the logical thing would be to change the term then the opposite and make use of post-digital native rather than digital. So the use of one or the other will agree terms to one or the other, but hopefully that will be producing the shift to this new terminology.

Speaking of learners pre-digital and digital post-we noted that it is necessary for some and as many others who help to immersion in the use of 2.0 tools, such as the blog. Outreach through workshops, with specific work in the creation and use of blogs or other tools But one question that arises and not able to respond in practice (yet) is how long it takes for this process of habituation and insertion in the digital environment.

Blog In Genis Roca discussed in a post for Victoriano Izquierdo, and through this Andalusian young artist presents the characteristics of digital natives:

• The domain of digital media production.
• The world's playground.
• as a socializing network.
• network learn and network.
• Dan importance to digital identity.
• Join the conversation.
• grow differently. Since they do exploring and transgressing.

But the case of this young and multidisciplinary hyperchromatic not think you can take as an example or trend of the digital natives. My experience in using the blog in class is that students (both pre-to post-digital and digital), a majority is required prior work and immersion approach on the network and tools.

Is It Normal To Have Spots On Your Tongue

The University of Lleida and astrology. Again.

already have here at the time that the University of Lleida offered last year (and no less through its Faculty of Education) an introductory course to astrology . Fortunately it was such a stir that, as has the press The University had no plans to do anything similar this year. The explanation of the vice provost for teaching, Isabel del Arco, became something like that had been cast.

Well, you see what happened just a few months later, this time in the Faculty of Law University:

Well, you say, it was so only a conference, right?

Yes. But held in a university hall of a university that already encountered in their day in the same stone, and has given rise to the appearance of things like this:

The image comes from this video , the content, we warned in advance, can cause bladder control problems coupled with a sudden acute urethral obstruction. In other words, is to piss and take no drop.

Obviously, Paula Lucas is not an astrologer at the University of Lleida, but belongs to a institution as prestigious academic and, ahem, this . However, it was the teacher the past year, so it is not his fault that you have placed the title of yore. Blame it on the university.

Obviously, when a university decides pseudo-courses or activities, some will care to know that the subjects are unfounded, it is a hoax that provide their students (and, incidentally, misleads those receiving treatment or professional advice by these students) or Many of these titles not be worth the paper they are written .

But at least their leaders should think that they are exposed to hot flashes like this. Yet merit.
