A detailed cytological study of the spore mother cells of specimens of B. occidentale collected in locations from the northwest of the Argentina was carried out here. The results of this contribution allowed to report a new polyploid, in this case a hexaploid, whose most probably basic number was considered x = 31, and which origin is analyzed and discussed. The study suggests an allopolyploid origin of this new cytotype which would be a product of interspecific hybridization and later chromosomal duplication. In the course of the study a notable stability was observed in the sporangial characters that are considered to be diagnostic at the specific level, and independent from the ploidy.

An update of verified information is performed on the presence of P. oceanica on the Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula, reviewing both the references as different herbaria and we proposed the hypothesis that there was some confusion the ball residual Posidonia reaching the beaches with some spherical bodies, called bezoarios, which was formed in the stomachs of ruminants.

Gametophytes of the Pteridaceae are moderately well known but there is still a quite large set of species to describe. Among these is Doryopteris triphylla, a member of the cheilanthoid clade (subgroup hemionitids). The main objective of this work is to describe the gametophyte of D. triphylla. In vitro cultures were prepared with spores coming from various sporophytes of different locations. In vivo observations were done periodically to monitor developmental critical events and reproductive activity. Germination followed the Vittaria pattern and the developmental processes adjusted to the Adiantum type. Adult cordate gametophytes produced normal sexual organs in unisexual prothalli. Doryopteris triphylla gametophytes exhibited somewhat peculiar features: the apical cell divided longitudinally, the first meristematic cell was rectangular, and archegoniate prothalli appeared much before than antheridiate ones.

Monfragüe National Park and its surrounding area catalogues and vascular flora lists that are known to date are reviewed according to the taxonomy and chorology of Flora iberica. New taxa are proposed and recent taxa afore mentioned by Rivas Mateos (1879-1931). Taxa coming from bibliography (1969-2008) are incorporated and those subsequent ones (2009-2015) are also gathered. Taxa whose presence in the region might be re-evaluated are indicated.

Trifolium vesiculosum Savi is recorded for the first time for the province of Cordoba. This species shows a scarce and quite disjunct distribution in the Iberian Peninsula. It was often confused with T. mutabile Port., which also belongs to the sect. Mistyllus. Nowadays, the naturalness of T. vesiculosum in the Iberian Peninsula is still doubtful.

Furcraea parmentieri (Roezl ex Ortgies) Garcia-Mend. is an alien species native to México, occasionally grown in gardens as an ornamental plant in warm or mild climate areas. In this note we present information about the naturalization of this plant on the northern coast of the Rías Baixas (Galicia, Iberian NW), which constitutes the first record of this species in the Iberian Peninsula.

ABSTRACTThe emergence of the so called Web 2.0 has been accompanied by the appearance of multiple possibilities and educational trends in the field of higher education through the creation of appropriate virtual spaces for the teaching, learning and assessment processes.  This trend facilitates that the accompaniment of the students may be carried out with different modes and contexts. One trend that is having greater educational impact is the Mobile Learning that allows multiple activities for educational purposes through different mobile devices anytime, anywhere. Of all the mobile devices today, this research has focused on the Smartphone since it is one of the devices which offers the largest number of options for Mobile Learning because of the virtually unlimited possibilities it offers and the size of it, which allows its use anytime, anywhere. The aim of this study is to present the process followed for the design and validation of two instruments for diagnostic evaluations, a questionnaire and a Focus Group, aimed at students in higher education, in the University of Cantabria, to obtain information about the knowledge, use, importance, benefits and difficulties of introducing the Smartphone in the teaching-learning-assessment processes, as well as the training needs in this regard. It is found that both instruments are valid and reliable for making a diagnosis on the pedagogical implementation of the Smartphone in university contexts from the perspective of the students.

ABSTRACTThis research, studies the current situation of Information and comunication technologies (TIC) among all guidance departmentsat highschools in the province of Huelva. Through the research, we also obtain information about the quality of professional's formation. This research involves 89 guidance counselors belonging to the 83 highschools at the province of Huelva and its capital city.Taking in mind our aim, we used some qualitative and quantitative methods. To collect the information we have used two instruments: the questionnaire and semistructured interview.In this study we discovered which are the main uses of ICT by guidance counselors, what resources or tools are the most used and which domain have on them. The results indicate that guidance professionals mainly use ICT to find information and materials on the Internet, or vocational guidance to students and address their specific needs, among others. In addition, a significant portion of participants think that knows all ICT tools that can help you in performing the work of guidance and thinks so there ICT training courses but are not related to their professional profile.

ABSTRACTThere is little evidence about vocational development of college students with disabilities and even less when they were inserted in the workplace. The objective was to determine the correlation between the vocational development and career choice factors of graduates with disabilities inserted occupationally. For this was used 30 university subjects with an average age of 38.23 years (Sd = 9.2) with various disabilities inserted occupationally to which was applied a questionnaire university biodata and an inventory of vocational factors, to a sample. A correlational design was used and inferential performing correlation analysis, and regression testing using Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitne in inferential analysis. The results obtained confirm that the effective vocational development was associated with the tastes and preferences in the choices they made. Was also noted that the higher effective vocational development, exert less influence factors sociogenic character and their own disability. We conclude that knowledge of career development of these subjects may influence improving the processes of vocational and professional advice of this group.

ABSTRACTThe present study is aimed at knowing the opinion of future teachers about the importance and necessity of academic training in emotional education, which is essential for the optimal performance of their professional teaching work, with the purpose of providing orientations that may lay the foundation for the design of the initial training of teachers in the framework of the European Higher Education Area.The methodology used involved a sample of 265. Information was gathered using the Scale of Importance and Training Needs in Emotional Education, and analysed using correlation techniques, factor analysis, descriptive statistics and mean differences. The KMO >.5 measure and the significance of the Barlett’s sphericity test showed that the data were suitable for being subject to factorial analysis. In general terms, the internal consistency of the two main subscales of the EINFEM, observed in the present study, could be considered sufficiently satisfactory. For the global scorings in the subscales importance and necessities, alpha values were obtained equal to .91 and .95 respectively.The results indicate that the participating student group attaches the greatest importance to training in complementary emotional competencies, followed by interpersonal emotional competencies and, finally, intrapersonal emotional competencies. With respect to the training needs, these essentially focus on interpersonal emotional competencies and complementary emotional competencies and, to a lesser extent, on intrapersonal emotional competencies. Additionally, significant differences are found among students according to the educational course in which they are registered.
