Multi-Lingual Scientific (MLS) Journals

Open access editorial for researchers, sponsored by FUNIBER and a group of Universities. Articles are accepted in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

Educational Research Journal

Its aim to contribute to the debate and improve the understanding of educational practice, pedagogical innovation and research in general.

Multi-Lingual Scientific (MLS) Journals is an open access publisher based in Santander (Spain), born with the aim of disseminating quality manuscripts in different disciplines that cover the most relevant topics of today.

The group of magazines that make up MLS accept unpublished works in English, Spanish and Portuguese, offering, whatever the language of submission, an English translation at no cost to the author, carried out by a team of highly qualified professionals. qualified.

All journals follow a rigorous editorial process based on anonymous peer review, in which experts from different countries around the world participate. Its main purpose is to serve as support to academic and scientific communities that wish to disseminate their work quickly and rigorously, thus supporting equal opportunities for all researchers, regardless of their origin.

All the Journals publish their issues biannually in June and December, and the manuscript submission process remains open throughout the year. Likewise, as the articles are approved by the Editorial Team, they appear in the press, ready for their final format, so they can be disseminated and read by those interested in the subject.

Nowadays, videogames have been treated as the antithesis of learning, considering them as a challenge rather than an opportunity. That was why, The project was made to have a common point between the motivation provided by video games and an educational context that Project Based Learning with the Thinking Routines gaves us. Moreover, the project was designed for the 2nd year of  Secondary school. The project based on pandemics that happened and percentages to design the videogame. Also, each phase of the PBL had its routine for data analysis, encouring students to do cognitive thinking in the same time. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Results has been change to a hypostatization. Not only was each phase of PBL with its routine do, but also the apk of the developed video game was made as a simulation of what a class could generate or answer. Taking everything into consideration, the project provided us diffrent conclusions to think about: the intrapersonal factor in the creation of the project, the importance of the interconnection of the PBL, the approach to reality provided by the PBL, the importance of diversity of thinking, the motivational factor of the video games and the synchronization between the PBL and the thinking routines.

Introduction: In sports, dermatoglyphics are being used as a marker of biological individuality to select athletes with outstanding performances. Objective: Determine dermatoglyphic characteristics as an indicator in the selection of CEDAR Campeche athletes, taking into account their sporting genetic potential and general genetic predisposition required for the sport they practice. Methods: it is a basic type of research, with a descriptive, field and bibliographic scope, with a non-experimental cross-sectional design and a quantitative approach. As a method for the inclusion and exclusion of the sample, a survey will be used to separate them and take an intentional sample within the population to perform the dermatoglyphic analysis and determine the potential and sporting genetic predisposition. Results: the population analyzed has a high level of sporting genetic potential in the physical characteristics of coordination and resistance, both in men and women of the 3 sports, while the physical characteristics to be enhanced include strength, speed and agility, on the other hand, the general genetic predisposition in CEDAR Campeche athletes in the 2021-2022 academic year, remains with a general genetic predisposition at a high level with 64%, medium with 28% and only 8% of the athletes analyzed, they do not have a general genetic predisposition to be in high performance. Conclusions: With these data we deduce that the CEDAR Campeche talent recruitment programs have good effectiveness and complementing it with dermatoglyphic analysis, the percentage of general genetic predisposition would increase.

The capacity to generate and maintain high power levels is relevant in both athletes and active people. A new test, Repeat Jump Ability (RJA), was proposed and analyzed to assess maximal power, mean power and fatigue index (FI) in active adults who do not practice competitive sport. Twenty-four volunteers (12 females, 12 males; age: 30.0 ± 7.2 years; mass: 71.5 ± 11.0 kg; height: 171.2 ± 10.4 cm) performed the Wingate, Repeat Sprint Ability (RSA), 30s countermovement jumps (T30s) and RJA tests. For each one, the IF was calculated; additionally, for the Wingate, T30s and RJA tests, the maximum and mean power was determined, while the maximum and mean velocity was determined for the RSA. The RJA results for each variable were correlated with the corresponding obtained for the other tests. An almost perfect correlation was observed for mean power between RJA and Wingate (r = 0.91) and between RJA and T30s (r = 0.93), and a very high correlation for mean performance between RJA and RSA (r = 0.73). For maximum performance, the correlation was very high between RJA and Wingate and between RJA and T30s (r = 0.87 and r = 0.73, respectively), and high between RJA and RSA (r = 0.61). For IF, the correlation was low (r < 0.30) in all cases. The RJA could provide a valid and accessible alternative for estimating maximum and mean power in active adults; its convenience would be an advantage over the other tests.

The prevalence of metabolic syndrome is increasing due to overeating and sedentary lifestyles. It is a risk factor for the development of diabetes mellitus II and cardiovascular disease. Effective and long-lasting weight loss involving lifestyle changes is necessary for its treatment. Continuous calorie restriction is the most commonly prescribed method of weight loss. However, people often regain the weight lost. Intermittent fasting protocols are being investigated as a safe and effective treatment for weight loss and improvement of cardiometabolic health, therefore, the aim of this research is to define the effects of intermittent fasting versus continuous calorie restriction for the control of cardiometabolic parameters in obese adults with metabolic syndrome. A literature review was carried out in which articles from scientific databases were consulted and analysed. Specifically, 10 articles published in the last 10 years belonging to PubMed were analysed. Intermittent fasting induces a weight loss equivalent to continuous calorie restriction; however, the loss of fat mass is greater when intermittent calorie restriction is performed. Changes in glucoregulatory markers are contradictory and inconclusive. Regarding the lipid profile LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides decrease equivalently with both interventions, not affecting HDL-cholesterol levels. Intermittent fasting and continuous calorie restriction protocols have similar effects on cardiometabolic health. Intermittent fasting is a safe intervention nevertheless, there is a risk of hypoglycaemia in people treated with antidiabetics.

This article examines the tensions between managerialist and democratic perspectives in contemporary Brazilian education policies, highlighting contradictions between discourse and practice. Although guiding documents such as the LDB and PNE convey emancipatory and inclusive ideals for education, government programs have emphasized accountability, quantitative results and market logics. At the same time, austerity measures such as EC 95 strangle in practice any possibility of implementing the progressive principles laid down in the legislation. This tension reveals broader disputes in the political arena, with sectors committed to the commercialization of education historically confronting the struggles for a public, free and quality school for all. There is an urgent need to reinvent the role of the state beyond regulation, reclaiming its leading role as provider and maintainer of the material conditions for the realization of the right to education.This reinvention involves collective mobilization to build educational processes that are contextualized, emancipatory and opposed to curricular lightening. It requires democratically run schools, with popular participation in pedagogical decisions and the use of resources. This demands an educational policy that is faithful to the interests of the majority, overcoming the privatist and managerialist agenda that undermines its democratizing potential. The universalization of quality standards as a right demands this reinvented public school, ethically committed to our people.
