Discover bamboo and its wide variety of uses from food to furniture. Bamboo is a traditionally cultivated plant and used on continents and in different cultures. New technologies combined with traditional techniques awaken both the creator and the user with a spirit of inspiration and innovation by applying bamboo's practical qualities to the challenge of sustainability. In many cases, designers work in collaboration with artisans, creating different products, changing lifestyles and applying new technologies to create a world with sustainable products in an ecologically supportive way as social design.

This article analyses different methods of adapting digital content for its delivery via mobile devices taking into account two aspects which are a fundamental part of the learning process; on the one hand, functionality of the contents, and on the other, the actual controlled navigation requirements that the learner needs in order to acquire high level knowledge. Currently the existing development processes consist of adapting content ad-hoc considering the device's special technical features and the programming language which has been used. Designers and programmers pay special attention to the increasing need of implementing and going about the creation process in a systematic way. This obviously leads to a growing need to establish reference marks that will allow us to compare these different methods of creation. The development and adaptation of digital content and navigability and the impact on the user is a point of departure for future research. Its function would be to determine effectively whether this learning process is viable or not.

Biomimicry is redefining the design, architecture, and construction industries by transforming biological principles into innovative solutions that optimize structural, energy, and environmental performance. This study identifies the organisms and natural systems that inspire the industry, establishing patterns, trends, and key applications. Through a systematic literature review, 70 studies documenting bio-inspired applications in materials, structures, and construction systems were analyzed. The findings are organized into a categorization of organisms based on their biological group and a detailed classification according to imitation criteria—form, function, structure, and process—highlighting their applications in the built environment. The results demonstrate the convergence between technology and nature, underscoring the potential of biomimicry for the development of a more sustainable and resilient industry. Furthermore, this study identifies the most recurring sources of inspiration and the main lines of interest in the implementation of biomimetic strategies in construction, consolidating its role as a key tool for the architecture of the future. Based on these findings, the research proposes a biomimetic design framework that aligns architectural needs with suitable imitation strategies and biological analogs, offering a practical tool to guide decision making in the early design phases.

This study was conducted to identify and analyze some significant features that influence students and teachers about computer-based tests (CBT) and paper-and-pencil tests (P&P) at the context of the PAULEX Project. In order to do that, a large experiment has been developed at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (Polytechnic University of Valencia), Spain, in which several students and professors have answered a validated questionnaire about their usage of technology, feelings and experiences. They also compared their preferences after doing two similar basic tests, CBT and P&P.
