Education has a crucial role to play in helping meet the Sustainable Development Goals, for which the initial training of university teachers, and its evaluation, are all essential. In this context, the authors developed an outdoor work task, consisting of an orientation game in ‘medieval Madrid’. The main objective was to show future teachers how they can enable their own students to value cultural heritage in order to acquire sustainability competencies. The task was evaluated by participants using a questionnaire, in order to make them aware of the acquired competencies. A gamification component was added to the outdoor task to create a healthy competitive environment. In this way, future teachers were able to observe how a teaching activity is evaluated; learn how to organize a didactic activity that can be extrapolated to other territorial and heritage realities; and employ their mobile devices to learn the foundations of sustainability in heritage management. Additionally, they acquired teaching competencies that promoted quality education and contributed towards two of the Sustainable Development Goals, specifically: 4 “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” and 11 “Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable”.

Inner city perceptions create a mental representation from different approaches: a visual approach, carried out through observation and description; a second approach, focused on evaluation and analysis of a city; and a third approach, which integrates the feelings that a space evokes in individuals known as the sense of the place. In the final analysis the aforementioned approach condition the behaviour (action-decision) of individuals. Image capture mainly happens while people walk in, travel to or visit a city using different ways to get around and they organize a mental map of the city. University students were selected from two Spanish cities: Murcia (215 respondents) and Valencia (300 respondents) to reply to a survey and to draw a map of their city. Results of the images of the cities in which they were currently living also proved useful in providing guidelines on sustainable growth of cities and in detecting deficiencies in order to correct them. The research model could be used in other cities throughout the world.

Se plantea una propuesta que hunde sus raíces en la larga trayectoria de la Didáctica de la Geografía, en la que se aúnan la tradición del excursionismo geográfico con una metodología de trabajo acorde a la evolución de las actuales tecnologías y a la aplicación de la geoinformación. Desarrollada en el marco de los Proyectos de Innovación y Mejora de la Calidad Docente de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, tiene por objeto el diseño de itinerarios geográficos didácticos en el ámbito territorial de los espacios naturales que conforman la Red de Parques Nacionales de España. Como resultado se ha desarrollado una SIGweb con los itinerarios creados en base a puntos de interés didáctico geográfico en los cuales se identifican elementos, procesos o factores que configuran el paisaje. We present a proposal that has its roots in the long history of the Didactics of Geography, which combines the tradition of geographical excursionism with a work methodology according to the evolution of current technologies and the application of geoinformation. Developed within the framework of the Projects of Innovation and Improvement of the Teaching Quality of the Complutense University of Madrid, its objective is the design of educational geographical itineraries in the territorial scope of the natural spaces that make up the National Parks of Spain. As a result, a SIGweb has been developed with the itineraries created based on points of geographical didactic interest in which elements, processes or factors that make up the landscape are identified.

Abstract We present a proposal that has its roots in the long history of the Didactics of Geography, which combines the tradition of geographical excursionism with a work methodology according to the evolution of current technologies and the application of geoinformation. Developed within the framework of the Projects of Innovation and Improvement of the Teaching Quality of the Complutense University of Madrid, its objective is the design of educational geographical itineraries in the territorial scope of the natural spaces that make up the National Parks of Spain. [...]a SIGweb has been developed with the itineraries created based on points of geographical didactic interest in which elements, processes or factors that make up the landscape are identified. Key words Geography; Educational Points of Interest; Innovation; Landscapes; National Parks; Sierra de Guadarrama N.P.; Internet; Didactics itineraries. 1.INTRODUCCIÓN En este año 2018 cumple un siglo la declaración del primer Parque Nacional español, el de Picos de Europa, fruto de la Ley de 19164 en la que se define la figura y se propone la creación de la red.

Depressed patients present with motor activity abnormalities, which can be easily recorded using actigraphy. The extent to which actigraphically recorded motor activity may predict inpatient clinical course and hospital discharge remains unknown. Participants were recruited from the acute psychiatric inpatient ward at Hospital Rey Juan Carlos (Madrid, Spain). They wore miniature wrist wireless inertial sensors (actigraphs) throughout the admission. We modeled activity levels against the normalized length of admission—‘Progress Towards Discharge’ (PTD)—using a Hierarchical Generalized Linear Regression Model. The estimated date of hospital discharge based on early measures of motor activity and the actual hospital discharge date were compared by a Hierarchical Gaussian Process model. Twenty-three depressed patients (14 females, age: 50.17 ± 12.72 years) were recruited. Activity levels increased during the admission (mean slope of the linear function: 0.12 ± 0.13). For n = 18 inpatients (78.26%) hospitalised for at least 7 days, the mean error of Prediction of Hospital Discharge Date at day 7 was 0.231 ± 22.98 days (95% CI 14.222–14.684). These n = 18 patients were predicted to need, on average, 7 more days in hospital (for a total length of stay of 14 days) (PTD = 0.53). Motor activity increased during the admission in this sample of depressed patients and early patterns of actigraphically recorded activity allowed for accurate prediction of hospital discharge date.
