Predictive catalysis towards the transformation of C-C bonds
ENG- This thesis explores the use of computational chemistry in studying olefin metathesis reactions, a key process in organometallic catalysis. Computational chemistry aims to provide predictive insights into chemical ...
Notched strength and size effect in pseudo-ductile composite laminates
ENG- Composite materials are favoured in aviation and automotive industries for their lightweight properties. However, their tendency to brittle failure poses challenges. The advent of thin-ply laminates, with improved ...
Tourism for good: social value creation by tourism social entrepreneurs
ENG- Social entrepreneurship in tourism offers a powerful strategy to seamlessly integrate tourism businesses into the social fabric of the communities and destinations they operate in. Doing so creates significant social ...
Análisis de los componentes de la gobernanza para los destinos turísticos emergentes
ENG- Tourism governance is a multifaceted subject, and emerging destinations have distinct needs compared to mature destinations. They must consider different elements than those that have already undergone the development ...
L’acció dels professionals de joventut: una anàlisi de les dinàmiques i els impactes comunitaris de la participació juvenil
ENG- This research analyses youth participation in the community sphere as a central element for empowerment. The thesis examines the contribution of socio-educational professionals to the promotion of community-based youth ...
Relación entre el bienestar subjetivo y el bienestar psicológico en niños y niñas de 10 y 12 años: el rol de los afectos
ENG- Subjective well-being (SW) and psychological well-being (PH) constitute complex psychosocial phenomena that are undergoing conceptual and empirical development, which is reflected, among other things, in the lack of ...
Functional cavitands as artificial enzymes: bridging computational and synthetic strategies for supramolecular catalysis and beyond
ENG- To address the limitations hindering the broader adoption of functional and expanded cavitands, this thesis combines computational studies, synthetic refinement, and novel application-driven design strategies. A central ...
Essential functions of Cdt1 and Orc6 during origin licensing
Origin licensing ensures that eukaryotic cells replicate their DNA precisely once per cell cycle. The ORC complex, together with the licensing factors Cdc6 and Cdt1, load the core of the replicative helicase (M2-7), as a ...
Generation of theoretical DHICA melanin models for the simulation of optical spectra
ENG- In this thesis, three different approaches have been selected to assess the lack of knowledge on melanin and the relationship between its structure and properties from the fundamental point of view. First, the oxidative ...
Approaching the function of a Lipid transfer protein and various miRNAs in the formation of the Arabidopsis root periderm
ENG- This thesis aims to explore the two knowledge gaps exposed above. First, we identified a gene that codes for an LTP, which was overexpressed in phellem and other suberized structures of different plant species. To ...
Estudio de las actitudes, el síndrome de burnout y los factores psicológicos en profesionales de apoyo a personas con discapacidad intelectual
ENG- This work focuses on how the personal characteristics of support professionals — including attitudes, burnout, empathy, personality, and health — influence the quality of life of individuals with intellectual disabilities. ...
Better together: electron-directed synergistic interactions in Clostridium co-cultures for improved alcohol production
ENG- The need for sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels powers up science in the study of new energy sources. One of these alternatives is anaerobic fermentation, a process in which bacteria transform organic carbon ...
Potencias de lo virtual. Estética del acontecimiento en el cine analógico, electrónico y digital
ENG- : A film breaks down, a frame freezes or holes, dirt or scratch particles appear, a fold crosses the screen, or an image dissolves in a magma of pixels. All these are just a few examples of the accidents that can ...
La arquitectura de la responsabilidad civil extracontractual: estructura, funciones y errores
ENG- The thesis examines tort law from a legal and philosophical perspective, interpreting it as a legal artifact whose architecture should considers its normative structure, functions, and the errors that may arise in its ...
Genetic diagnosis of inherited arrhythmogenic syndromes and sudden cardiac death in pediatrics
ENG- Sudden death in children and young people is rare, but when it occurs, it is a devastating event. In many of these cases, even after a complete autopsy, the exact cause of death cannot be identified. Current evidence ...
Unió seqüencial de múltiples dominis proteics in vivo i in vitro utilitzant trans-inteïnes ortogonals
ENG- Inteins are a type of protein that can excise themselves from inside a precursor protein sequence, joining the two ends (named exteins) forming a mature protein. This process is termed protein splicing. One particular ...
Homonacionalisme i la matriu colonial del poder: una anàlisi de les estructures de dominació en les lluites de dissidència sexual i de gènere a Catalunya
ENG- The political discourses and practices surrounding sexual and gender diversity have undergone profound transformations in recent decades, shifting from marginalization to the articulation of demands for recognition ...
Effects of wildfire and post‐fire salvage logging on insects with below‐ and aboveground life phases: cicadas as an ecological model
ENG- Wildfires are becoming increasingly frequent and intense in the Mediterranean region, and the way we manage forests after fire—especially through logging to recover burnt wood—can have a significant impact on biodiversity. ...
Function and structure of microbial biofilms in saline shallow lakes: limits and adaptations to environmental extremes
ENG- Hypersaline lakes are extreme ecosystems with high salt concentrations, often shallow and subject to natural drying periods. Despite their high ecological value, they are threatened by climate change, which puts them ...
Physical exercise-induced health benefits: the potential role of exerkine secretion and epigenetic modifications
ENG- The thesis findings indicate a more favorable cardio-metabolic profile in children who are more physically active, as compared to less physically active ones (Study 1). Interestingly, the current findings suggest that ...
