    Initial Training of teachers for inclusive education in Chile
    (Future Academy UK, 2017) Villalobos Dintrans, Cristóbal Alejandro; Wyman San Martin, Ignacio Andrés
    The increasing diversity of students imposes a great challenge for teachers: to create quality educational processes for every student. Since initial training is understood as a significant space for the development of numerous competences, skills and attitudes, it has a core role in this challenge. Nevertheless, there is no systematic study of how the initial training of generalist teachers is approached for inclusive education in Chile. Given this, this article analyzes the results of a national study that examined the characteristics of initial training programs of Elementary Education teachers regarding inclusive education in Chile. To do so, an analysis on the contents of the profiles of graduation and description of every program valid up to 2014 was performed. These programs were analyzed in three central dimensions, each of which related to inclusive education: values and principles of educational inclusion; types or dimensions of diversity and; curricular management for inclusive education. Results show the existence of a great heterogeneity among programs throughout the country, in terms of the sense and intensity given to inclusive education in the different programs. Most of the programs are not offering –at least, not explicitly- formations with an intensive focus on inclusive education and there are not differences between private and public universities.

    Sustainable Water Management in Urban Environment: Green Roof Experience in Semiarid Climate
    (IAHR-International Association of Hydro-Environment Engineering Research, 2015) Reyes Piña, Fermín Rodolfo; Vera Araya, Sergio Eduardo; Victorero Castaño, Felipe Andres; Bustamante Gómez, Waldo; Gironás León, Jorge Alfredo; Rojas, Victoria; Bonilla Meléndez, Carlos Alberto; CEDEUS (Chile)
    Most green roofs have been studied and built in humid climates, with many benefits such as thermal isolation and biodiversity. However, little is known about their performance in arid and semiarid climates where irrigation system affects the sustainability of this technology. In order to improve the water efficiency and get a sustainable water management, five 4-m2 modules of vegetated roofs were instrumented and monitored to evaluate the irrigation water requirements during the first year in Santiago, Chile (33 degrees 26 ' S, 70 degrees 39 ' W, 570 MASL). Based on the water retention properties, the maximum soil available water was 10%, the permanent wilting point was 17% and 27% at field capacity. Three substrate depths (5-cm, 10-cm and 20-cm) and three commercial drainage systems found in Chile were evaluated. The results showed that with the same drainage system and irrigation conditions, the substrate depth controls both, stored water and daily temperature oscillation during summer. While 5 and 10-cm substrates showed low water contents ( close to the minimum for plant survival) and peak temperatures (54 degrees C and 38 degrees C respectively), 20-cm substrate reached the minimum soil moisture only in days with high atmospheric demands reaching a peak soil temperature of 27 degrees C. To provide a better and sustainable condition for the 5-cm green roof modules, water retention capacity was incremented to resist the harsh summer atmospheric conditions. With a proper drainage system, substrate moisture in 5-cm green roof was equal or higher than the measured in the 20-cm green roof. However, peak temperatures were not reduced. Therefore, in addition to water requirements and plant species tolerance to drought and high temperatures, it is crucial to know the soil water retention properties and selecting a suitable type of drainage. These factors, along with the irrigation criterion, must be considered in order to get a sustainable water management on an urban green roof when built in semiarid climate.
