Spanish to English: Recuperación de la economía estadounidense General field: Bus/Financial Detailed field: Economics
Source text - Spanish El PIB de Estados Unidos aumentó 2.2 por ciento a tasa trimestral anualizada durante el tercer trimestre de 2009, lo cual constituyó su primera variación positiva desde el segundo trimestre de 2008. La información oportuna muestra que la economía estadounidense continuó recuperándose en el cuarto trimestre. En este sentido, la producción industrial siguió registrando un fuerte crecimiento en este período, con una tasa trimestral anualizada de 7.0 por ciento (6.3 por ciento excluyendo vehículos de motor y auto partes.
En Estados Unidos el gasto en consumo siguió expandiéndose a un ritmo moderado durante el cuarto trimestre, reflejando la lenta recuperación del ingreso personal disponible y la debilidad del mercado laboral. Otro factor que obstaculizó el crecimiento del consumo fue la fuerte pérdida en la riqueza neta de los hogares. Si bien en el segundo y tercer trimestres de 2009 el patrimonio de las familias se recuperó marginalmente, la pérdida acumulada desde mediados de 2007 ascendió a alrededor de 12.6 billones de dólares. , Además, los analistas prevén que los hogares continúen saneando su situación financiera en lugar de incrementar su gasto, con lo que la tasa de ahorro pudiera mantenerse muy por encima de los niveles registrados antes de la crisis. Por su parte, el mercado laboral, aunque aún en un estado de extrema debilidad, presentó evidencias de estabilización en el cuarto trimestre del año.
Las empresas moderaron su ritmo de liquidación de inventarios y su gasto en equipo y software empezó a mostrar signos de recuperación en el cuarto trimestre de 2009, respaldadas por su saludable posición financiera. No obstante, el nivel de capacidad utilizada siguió siendo muy bajo en el sector industrial. El sector inmobiliario también continuó su recuperación impulsada por el programa de crédito fiscal para la adquisición de vivienda.
Translation - English United States GDP increased 2.2 percent at an annualized quarterly rate during the first quarter of 2009 which accounts for its first positive variation since the second quarter of 2008. Further information shows that the American economy continued recovering during the fourth quarter. In this same sense, industrial production maintained a solid growth during this same period with an annualized quarterly rate of 7.0 percent (6.3 percent without considering motor vehicles and auto parts).
Consumption expenditure in the United States kept increasing at a moderate pace during the fourth quarter reflecting the slow recovery of disposable personal income and the weakness of the labor market. Another factor that kept consumption from growing was the tremendous loss of household net wealth. Even though in the second and third quarters of 2009 family patrimony recovered marginally, cumulated loss since mid-2007 increased around 12.6 billion dollars. , Analysts have also forecasted that households will continue improving their financial situation instead of increasing its expenditure, something that could maintain saving rates well above before crisis levels. Labor market on its side, has shown evidence of stabilization during the fourth quarter of the year, even though it holds an extremely weak status.
Companies, supported by their financial stability, have diminished their inventory clearance sales at the same time that their equipment and software expenditure begun showing signs of recovery during the fourth quarter of 2009. Regardless of this, the level of used capacity was still very low in the industrial sector. The real estate market also continued with its recovery pushed by the fiscal credit program for the acquisition of real estate.
English to Spanish: Adaptive Teaching Taxonomy General field: Science Detailed field: Education / Pedagogy
Source text - English Abstract
Recent research on the learning process has shown that students tend to learn in different ways and that they prefer to use different resources as well. Many teaching technology researchers agree on the fact that learning materials shouldn’t be a mere reflect of the teacher’s style, but that these should be designed for all kinds of students and their learning styles (Felder 1996). Even though they agree on the importance of applying these learning styles to the different learning systems, there are still various problems that need to be solved, such as matching the contents shown on class to the different learning styles of each individual student. The design of an adaptive taxonomy using the learning style categories described by Felder and Silverman to create a personalized teaching environment for each individual by selecting the appropriate teaching strategy and electronic media, is described in this article. The taxonomy implementation method is also described. Students are capable of learning and efficiently improving their learning process with such method. Today, a system using the designed taxonomy is being developed to test the efficiency and effectiveness of the student’s learning.
Translation - Spanish Resumen
La investigación sobre el aprendizaje ha demostrado que los alumnos aprenden de manera diferente y prefieren utilizar diferentes recursos. Muchos investigadores en tecnología educativa están de acuerdo en que los materiales de aprendizaje deberían ser diseñados para todos los tipos de estudiantes y sus estilos de aprendizaje; no solamente ser el reflejo del estilo de enseñanza del profesor (Felder 1996). Aunque los investigadores coinciden en la importancia de la aplicación de los estilos de aprendizaje en los sistemas de aprendizaje, todavía existen numerosos problemas que necesitan ser solucionados, tales como hacer que la forma de presentar los contenidos coincidan con el estilo individual de aprendizaje del estudiante. En este artículo se describe el diseño de una taxonomía adaptativa usando el índice de estilos de aprendizaje de Felder y Silverman para perfilar un entorno de enseñanza individualizada seleccionando la estrategia didáctica adecuada y los medios electrónicos convenientes, personalizando la presentación del contenido para cada estudiante. Se plantea también una metodología de utilización de la taxonomía. Con esta metodología los alumnos son capaces de aprender y es de esperar que puedan mejorar eficaz y eficientemente su aprendizaje. Actualmente se desarrolla un sistema utilizando la metodología diseñada para evaluar la eficiencia y la eficacia del aprendizaje en los estudiantes.

Bio
My name is Daniel Martinez and I´m from Mexico City. I learned English when I moved to Houston, Tx. when I was only 9 years old. I have a Bachelor degree on International Relations from the Universidad Iberoamericana, two Translation and Interpretation Diplomas (ITAM and Berlitz) and one Masters on Information Technology Management (ITAM).
Ever since I began translating when I was 18 years old I realized I had found my ideal job: one where you can be creative and learn many, many things on a daily basis. I´ve done several translation jobs as a freelancer at the same time that I´ve been preparing myself to have a better educational background. I can translate regarding many fields, but I wish to specialize on Information Technology since I have a Masters on that field.
Anyhow, please feel free to contact me. I´m sure we can do something together and start a great job relationship!
