Mechanical Performance and Design Considerations of Bituminous Mixtures Incorporating Recycled Fibers: A Systematic Review Mourou, Chaimae; Skaf Revenga, Marta; Hernando Revenga, Manuel; Ortega López, Vanesa; Manso Villalaín, Juan Manuel Recycled fibers in bituminous mixtures are increasingly recognized for their potential to modify and reinforce asphalt mixtures, enhancing durability and reducing environmental impacts. This paper reviews the influencing themes and factors related to the incorporation of recycled fibers into bituminous mixtures, based on a systematic bibliometric analysis. A bibliometric study was conducted covering the evolution of document publications, sources, authors, countries, and the clustering of influential keywords, which frame the main themes explored in a systematic literature review. Results reveal a growing interest in case studies assessing the mechanical performance of bituminous mixtures incorporating recycled fibers, highlighting sustainability and reinforcement design development. The review discusses the main factors influencing mixture reinforcement design, the processing methods and characterization of recycled fibers, and the mechanical performance of different fiber types including plastic, plant-based, textile, and glass fibers. Overall, this work provides insights into the key factors in the literature influencing the performance of recycled fiber-reinforced bituminous mixtures and serves as a preliminary guide and reference for researchers entering this field of study.

On the Validation of Measurement Techniques in Solid Mechanics Solaguren-Beascoa Fernández, Manuel Currently, there is no established rigorous method for validating measurement techniques in solid mechanics. This paper presents the appropriate statistical approach for this purpose. Validation must compare measurements obtained using different techniques, considering their standard uncertainties. The use of the measurement uncertainties is essential for the metrological rigor of the validation, which is achieved through a statistical hypothesis test based on the chi-square distribution. A similar test is also possible to define for the identification of outliers. The method is simple and easy to apply, and is presented in the form of a procedural guide. Its applicability has been shown with an example of stress measurements by photoelasticity, which have been compared with the results of a finite element analysis.

Game-changing perspectives: A dataset on student perceptions of sustainable mobility pre- and post escape room intervention Sipone, Silvia; Rodríguez, Andrés; Rojo Arce, Marta; Moura Berodia, José Luis The dataset aims to examine the prior and acquired knowledge in an Escape Room (ER) experience on sustainable mobility. In addition, the data could also be used to identify possible correspondences between some mobility behaviors and the predisposition to learn sustainable mobility concepts to foster attitude change. To meet these objectives, an ER on sustainable mobility was conducted and a questionnaire was given before and after the activity to 173 students from various schools between 5th grade of primary school and 1st year of compulsory secondary school (10–13 years old). The questionnaire was divided into two parts. The first part included social demographics questions (gender, family members, place of residence) and mobility habits (number of cars in the family, bus use, cycling). The second part included questions related to sustainable mobility topics with 14 items. Data was collected between December 2022 and February 2023.

Sustainable mobility learning: Technological acceptance model for gamified experience with ClassCraft in primary school Sipone, Silvia; Abella García, Víctor; Rojo Arce, Marta; Moura Berodia, José Luis The concept of sustainable mobility is related to the fulfilment of certain conditions that consider environmental, economic and social factors when making decisions on transport activity. The recognition of the role of education as a key factor for sustainable development and sustainable mobility has been growing. Therefore, the development of training schemes aimed at sustainable mobility education as a tool for a better future for the generations to come is of fundamental importance. This study analyses the factors affecting the adoption of the ClassCraft platform in activities related to sustainable mobility. The proposed experience involved children aged 10–11 years old, a total of 75 pupils. This experience was the basis for analyzing the pupils' perception of the gamification-based methodology. A mixed method has been used, combining qualitative results from a Focus Group (FG) with 6 students, and quantitative results through a questionnaire based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with all the 75 students. The results reflect that all students consider this methodology as an opportunity for a change in the school experience to make classroom activities more enjoyable. Our research contributes to the application of a mixed methods approach that addresses an educational challenge, considering the voice of the children when applying new teaching–learning strategies.
