El presente trabajo se deriva de una investigación más amplia llevada a cabo por el grupo de investigación IKERKI 05/30 reconocido por la UPV/EHU en la que se encuestó a una muestra representativa de la población guipuzcoana mayor de 18 años sobre sus hábitos de práctica de actividad física y deportiva. En el mismo se entrevisto a 288 sujetos mayores de 65 años con un nivel de error resultante de ± 5,9%. A grandes rasgos, los hábitos de práctica de actividad física y deportiva (PAFYD) de la población guipuzcoana mayor de 65 años nos muestran cómo la población adulta, con el paso de los años, va tendiendo hacia una PAFYD menos institucionalizada, lo cual no quiere decir que se dé un abandono sino que nos hace pensar que la dinámica preformativa de los hábitos de PAFYD tiene que ver más con una transformación que con el abandono de los mismos. Este hecho nos hace pensar que se hace necesaria la reformulación de los modelos de institucionalización predominantes así como las políticas relacionadas con los hábitos de PAFYD de la población adulta, en general, y de los mayores de 65 años, en concreto. Palabras clave: Hábitos de PAFYD, transformación, institucionalización, población mayor de sesenta y cinco años.Abstract: The current study has its foundations in a more broad-ranging research initiative undertaken by the IKERI O5/30 research group (oficially recognised by the University of the Basque Country) which surveyed a representative sample of the over-18s population of Gipuzkoa in relation to their sports and physical activities habits. The cited research project interviewed 288 people of 65 and produced results within a  ± 5,9% margin of error range. In very general terms the sports and physical activities habits of the cited over-65s generation (PAFYD) in the province of Gipuzkoa demonstrate that, with the passing of the years, the adult population becomes less reliant on state-sponsored options in terms of chosen dedication to sports and physical activities. This, by no means implies that this particular populous (the over 65s) abandons such activity but rather that there is a transformation in the type of activity that their age group participate in. This fact draws us to the conclusion that a re-think in terms of state promoted activities and models for the over-65s (PAFYD), in particular, and for the adult population, in general, is necessary. Keywords: Sport and physical activity Habits, transformation, institutionalization, Over 65s.

<p>Este artículo describe una experiencia educativa innovadora centrada en el tratamiento que se está dando a la formación en género en los nuevos grados de la Escuela Universitaria de Magisterio de Vitoria-Gasteiz (en adelante EUMVG). La orientación elegida para introducir la perspectiva de género responde a los resultados de una investigación previa, realizada por la entonces dirección de la EUMVG dentro de una convocatoria impulsada por el Vicerrectorado de Calidad y Mejora de la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea (UPV/EHU) en 2009. La convocatoria recibía el nombre de Plan de implementación y Seguimiento de Acciones de Mejora (PISAM), a la que se presentaron tres acciones de mejora, recibiendo subvención la que atendía al diagnóstico de la situación de la Igualdad en dicha escuela. Gracias a esa primera aproximación, se vio la necesidad de introducir la coeducación en los nuevos planes de estudio, y se concretó en esta propuesta que se presenta a continuación, en la que se trabaja la formación en género de manera transversal, a través de trabajos modulares y mediante actividades complementarias de formación y sensibilización integradas en las asignaturas troncales de los Grados de Educación Infantil y Primaria. Este artículo recoge la experiencia acumulada durante los primeros cursos de grado. El paso siguiente sería elaborar las herramientas de investigación que permitan estudiar en qué medida se han satisfecho las insuficiencias detectadas por aquellas alumnas y alumnos que conformaron la comunidad de la que partió la necesidad de implementar las políticas de igualdad en la docencia.</p><p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p>The gender perspective in the curricula of Degree in the Teacher Training School of Vitoria-Gasteiz.</p><p>This research describes an innovative educational experience focused on the treatment given to a gender based training that is being conducted in the new degrees of the University College of Teacher Training of Vitoria-Gasteiz. The path choosen to introduce the gender perspective is based on the results of a previous research carried out by the present school management team. This research is within the Implementation and Monitoring of the Improvement Actions´ Plan (PISAM) of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) in 2009, which has been chosen among other projects because of its proposal about doing a diagnosis related to the gender achievements of the mentioned University College. The research underlined the need to introduce the coeducation in the new curricula, and it was specified in this proposal. This project works on gender training as a cross curricular subject, using modular assignments and complementary activities to train and raise students´ awareness that are integrated in the core subjects of the Pre-school and Primary Education Degrees. This article gathers the results obtained in the first and second curses of the grade. The next step will be to elaborate the research tools that will enable to analyse whether the needs detected by the students have been satisfied. These students formed the community who marked the beginning of this.</p>

El propósito de este estudio fue evaluar el grado de influencia que la práctica de los juegos tradicionales de cooperación-oposición puede tener sobre el estado de ánimo de estudiantes universitarios. Para ello 48 estudiantes de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Actividad Física y del Deporte, en un rango de edades de 19 a 21 años, participaron voluntariamente en el estudio, 33 hombres (68.75 %) y 15 mujeres (31.25 %). Los participantes cumplimentaron una versión reducida del Perfil de los Estados de Ánimo (Profile of Mood States, POMS) de 29 ítems agrupados en cinco factores: Tensión-Ansiedad, Depresión-Abatimiento, Rabia-Hostilidad, Vigor-Actividad y Fatiga-Inmovilidad. Se llevó a cabo un análisis mediante una prueba t para muestras relacionadas y una prueba t para muestras independientes (p<.05). Los resultados obtenidos mostraron que hubo diferencias significativas pre-post tanto en hombres (Tensión-Ansiedad, Rabia-Hostilidad, Vigor-Actividad, Fatiga-Inmovilidad y Estado de Animo General) como en mujeres (Tensión-Ansiedad y Vigor-Actividad), y en el efecto de la práctica entre hombres y mujeres (Fatiga-Inmovilidad y Estado de Ánimo General).Palabras clave: juegos tradicionales; estado de ánimo; género; educación física.Abstract: the purpose of this study was to assess the degree of influence that the practice of traditional games of cooperation-opposition may have in the mood state of university students. Therefore 48 students of the School of Sports of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) volunteered to take part in the study, 33 men (68.75%) and 15 women (31.25%), ranging in age from 19 to 21 years. The participants completed a reduced version of the Profile of Mood States (POMS) grouped into five factors: Tension-anxiety, Depression-Dejection, Anger-Hostility, Vigour-Activity and Fatigue-Inertia. By means of a dependent t-test (p<.05) we found that the mood state significantly changed in men (Tension, Anger, Vigour, Fatigue and overall) and in women (Tension and Vigour). By means of an independent t-test (p<.05) we could compare the responses of men and women to the practice of cooperation-opposition games and found significant changes in Fatigue and the General Mood State.Key words: traditional games; mood state; gender; physical education.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to estimate the incidence of diabetes mellitus in the Basque Country and the risk factors involved in the disease by reassessing an adult population after 7 years of follow-up. In the previous prevalence study, 847 people older than 18 years were randomly selected from all over the Basque Country and were invited to answer a medical questionnaire, followed by a physical examination and an oral glucose tolerance test. In the reassessment, the same variables were collected and the resulting cohort comprised 517 individuals of whom 43 had diabetes at baseline. The cumulative incidence of diabetes was 4.64% in 7 years and the raw incidence rate was 6.56 cases/1000 person-years (95%CI: 4.11–9.93). Among the incident cases, 59% were undiagnosed. The most strongly associated markers by univariate analyses were age > 60 years, dyslipidaemia, prediabetes and insulin resistance. We also found association with hypertension, obesity, family history of diabetes and low education level. Multivariate analysis adjusted for age and sex showed that a set of risk factors assessed together (dyslipidaemia, waist-to-hip-ratio and family history of diabetes) had great predictive value (AUC-ROC = 0.899, 95%CI: 0.846–0.953, p = 0.942), which suggests the need for early intervention before the onset of prediabetes.

The scientific production of digital literacy at the university level published in the Scopus database is analyzed, with a special emphasis on studies on tourism due to the relevance of information and communication technology (ICT) in said professional sector. For this, a bibliometric study of a pertinent sample is undertaken using a mixed methodology and based on a series of variables related to formal and content aspects. The last variable, reserved for the academic field under study, directly addresses the main objective as regards tourism. The results show a great global and multidisciplinary interest in digital literacy (DL), mainly from students. There is also a parallel between the integration of ICT into society and the growing evolution of case studies, as well as little interest in their development in specific areas such as tourism studies. Despite good results in general terms, the lack of specialization poses challenges that require greater involvement of training institutions in the sense of providing future professionals with the necessary tools to face them successfully, especially in sectors such as tourism where ICTs are a key piece.

Since the United Nations (UN) approved the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development in 2015, higher education institutions have increasingly demonstrated their commitment by supporting several initiatives. Although a great deal of progress has been made, there is still a lack of integrative approaches to truly implement Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in higher education. This paper presents a practical case that illustrates how to design and articulate SDGs within an institutional setting adopting a holistic approach: EHUagenda 2030 plan of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU). It is based on empirical inquiry into global and holistic sustainable transformation and a real experience to move towards a verifiable and pragmatic contribution to sustainability. This plan describes the contribution to 12 of the 17 SDGs, along with three sectorial plans (Equality Campus, Inclusion Campus and Planet Campus), as well as the refocus of the UPV/EHU’s Educational Model and the panel of sustainable development indicators, which addresses the technical aspects of monitoring the SDGs. The methodology (mapping; mainstreaming; diagnosis and definition and, finally, estimation) is systematic and replicable in other universities yet to embark upon this integration. This case study makes a contribution towards the understanding of the complexity of the changes in Higher Education and the ways to approach it.
