  • Transforming Experimental Teaching of Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer Courses Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic

    Open AccessManuel J Diaz, Ildefonso Caro et al.ARTICLEEducation Sciences2023

    The academic situation due to the COVID-19 lockdown forced teachers to transform conventional lessons to a fully online mode. The experimental component of chemical engineering degrees is an essential part of the courses, wherein the students usually attend a pilot plant and develop practical skills in a hands-on way. The present study shows the different methodologies developed and implemented during three academic years in the experimental comp…

  • Incorporating Augmented Reality Tools into an Educational Pilot Plant of Chemical Engineering

    Open AccessManuel J Diaz, Carlos J Álvarez-Gallego et al.ARTICLEEducation Sciences2023

    Chemical Engineering courses are often designed to be divided into two types of lessons: lecture and experimental. In the second one, students develop the knowledge in a hands-on way by attending a pilot plant equipped with different instruments. Hence, a thorough understanding of the different unit operations is needed and, therefore, the implications of changing the operational variables in a process. In this context, the use of new digital tec…

  • Creation of Immersive Resources Based on Virtual Reality for Dissemination and Teaching in Chemical Engineering

    Open AccessManuel J Diaz, Casimiro Mantell et al.ARTICLEEducation Sciences2022

    Chemical Engineering is a complex discipline that is mainly applied to the industrial context, which makes it difficult to approach real equipment and systems in the classroom to students. Nevertheless, Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are particularly useful to encourage active and autonomous learning, normally associated with deeper levels of engagement and understanding of the subjects taught. In this way, several studies have…

  • Changes in health status and frequency of attending religious services among medical inpatients with repeat admissions

    Grace S Chung, Manuel J Diaz et al.ARTICLEJournal of Religion, Spirituality…2016

    Although frequent attendance at religious services is associated with healthier behaviors and improved health outcomes, this relationship is confounded to the extent that attending religious services requires and displays a certain degree of health. This study surveyed patients over multiple hospitalizations at a large urban academic medical center to test the hypothesis that changes in health status would be accompanied by parallel changes in re…

  • Do Health Care Delivery System Reforms Improve Value? The Jury Is Still Out

    Deborah Korenstein, Kevin Duan et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2016Referências: 31

    BACKGROUND: Widespread restructuring of health delivery systems is underway in the United States to reduce costs and improve the quality of health care. OBJECTIVE: To describe studies evaluating the impact of system-level interventions (incentives and delivery structures) on the value of US health care, defined as the balance between quality and cost. RESEARCH DESIGN: We identified articles in PubMed (2003 to July 2014) using keywords identified …
