Efecto modulador de un estilo de vida activo y del gateo en la relación entre la composición corporal, el sistema cardiopulmonar, la competencia motriz y la condición física en niños y niñas prepuberales sanos
Adopting an active lifestyle from infancy is crucial for long-term health, preventing future diseases, and addressing problems such as overweight and respiratory diseases. Crawling before walking has the potential to ...
Development of constitutive models for the accurate simulation of advanced polymer-based composites under complex loading states
In recent decades, several meso-scale computational models have been developed for predicting the failure evolution and strength of composite materials. Nevertheless, the complex failure mechanisms of composites pose a ...
Conocimientos y creencias del profesorado de educación primaria para enseñar estadística y probabilidad a partir del enfoque de los itinerarios de enseñanza de las matemáticas
In recent decades, statistics and probability have acquired greater prominence due to the importance of data analysis and interpretation in an increasingly computerized society. In this sense, different organizations and ...
Electrochemical degradation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) using innovative graphene-based nanostructered materials
The ubiquitous presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in aquatic environments has emerged as a global concern. PFAS are a group of thousands of human-made chemicals that have been a staple in hundreds of ...
Nueva iniciativa de gestión del uso del suelo (NIGEUS) fundamentada en los enfoques ecosistémico, integrador, participativo y holístico, en el centro-norte de Nicaragua (municipios de Waslala, El Cuá y El Tuma-La Dalia)
There are approximately 608 million farms in the world, of which 84% are small farms and produce 35% of the world's food. Various training programs have been promoted by different organizations to achieve a more sustainable ...
The flavonolignan silibinin in non-small cell lung cancer: molecular mechanisms and therapeutic relevance
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a challenging disease to treat. Despite several decades of improved clinical progress, there is an unmet need to investigate how therapeutic resistance develops. In particular, managing ...
La filosofia en la construcció nacional de Catalunya (1892-1918). Estudi sobre la historiografia nacionalista de la filosofia
This doctoral thesis examines the contribution of the philosophical heritage of the Catalan Countries in the construction of the Catalan national identity. Specifically, it focuses on how Catalan intellectuals have used ...
Estética compositiva en las partituras generativas de Mestres Quadreny
This research study on the generative scores of the Catalan composer Josep Maria Mestres Quadreny (1929-2021) is the first work of this type to include, in full, all of these works in the composer's catalogue. The ...
Cognitive challenges in captive chimpanzees: behavioral and welfare implications and influence of personality
The majority of chimpanzees living in captivity will remain in this situation for life. Reintroducing them to their natural habitats is extremely challenging, even in rescue and rehabilitation centers in their countries ...
High-volume manufacturing of advanced composite parts: reducing waste and curing time while maintaining high performance
Historically, the manufacture of advanced composite parts has been characterised by low-volume production, but is increasingly moving towards mass production. This new scenario, where competitiveness is on the rise, requires ...
Operation and control of high rate activated sludge process in urban wastewater treatment plants
This doctoral thesis focuses on the High Rate Activated Sludge (HRAS) process, which emerges as an alternative to the primary clarifier in activated sludge systems (CAS) to reduce energy consumption, analysing its effects ...
Oriented external electric fields in chemistry: development and application of new methods to simulate molecular response properties and reactivity
In this PhD thesis, we explore the fundamental properties of molecules and materials that shape their behavior and potential applications in science and technology. Specifically, we focus on developing advanced computer ...
Exploring the boundaries of aromaticity through computational analysis of excited states and complex molecular topologies
Aromaticity is a widely used concept in the prediction, design, and understanding of key aspects related to reactivity, structure, and properties of molecules. Linked to cyclic or three-dimensional molecular systems, it ...
Eclipse chasing and sustainable tourism development. Case study: three solar eclipses in Spain in 2026/27/28
A total solar eclipse is one of the most spectacular nature’s shows and a significant motivation for many people to travel and see the totality as a once in a lifetime experience. Host communities within the path of totality ...
Polimorfismos de los genes moduladores de la respuesta inmune como predictores de recaída en los pacientes con mieloma múltiple
Multiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable disease despite the incorporation of new therapies. The natural history of disease is of the relapse following treatments due to the re-emergence of the tumour from residual disease ...
On the generation of design allowables of composite coupons accounting for defects using a multi-fidelity approach
Composite structures play a crucial role in lightweight applications due to their exceptional mechanical performance and low density. However, their anisotropic behavior and susceptibility to uncertainties, such as ...
Protección y conservación de especies animales: responsabilidad del Estado Colombiano
This research studies the main paradigms that arise in the relationship between human and non-human animals in the Colombian legal system and the national and international legal instruments that are used for the categorization ...
Historia del inicio y desarrollo del teatro moderno en Barcelona (1579-1606)
The present work gathers, classifies, orders and contextualizes more than two hundred documents found in various archives and libraries and unknown up until now, related to the first stage of development of the modern drama ...
Food safety evaluation and management approaches in dry-cured meat products
This doctoral thesis focuses on the study of the behavior of foodborne pathogens during the production process and/or storage of dry-cured meat products, including chicken-based fermented sausages and pork dry-cured ham. ...
Una ecoética para el siglo XXI: la preocupación de José Ferrater Mora por la naturaleza
José Ferrater Mora has been recognized as one of the most original and difficult to categorize thinkers of the 20th century. A tireless and restless intellectual, he was interested in a multitude of fields of knowledge ...
