Communicative action in collaborative governance: striving for consensus to create knowledge and make collective decisions
This thesis adopts Habermas’s theory of communicative action to explore how consensus-oriented actions contribute to knowledge creation and collective decision-making in collaborative governance processes. Through studying ...
3D underwater SLAM using sonar and laser sensors
This thesis presents a SLAM algorithm using a multibeam echosounder, a new 1/2 underwater laser scanner for online 3D perception and two applications of this new laser scanner: inspection and intervention. The SLAM ...
Emili Saguer: notari, polític i home de negocis. 1865-1940
Emili Saguer i Olivet: notari, polític i home de negocis (1865-1940) offers us the vision of an individual that lived during a very complex period. He was a notary in Girona, a prominent lawyer and a firm defender of the ...
The Mods in Catalonia: a critical perspective of the neo-gramscian approach to popular culture
Through a study of groups of Mods from different generations and geographical settings, I develop the idea that an analysis of their ‘signs’ is not enough. I argue that it is helpful to look at the very particular background ...
Pharmaceutical and personal care products removal by advanced treatment technologies
This thesis evaluates different technologies for treating wastewater with high concentrations of PPCPs. Firstly, a state-of-art revision of advanced treatment technology for removing Triclosan (TCS) from waste water was ...
Aportacions de l'anàlisi composicional a les mixtures de distribucions
The present thesis is a compendium of three original works produced between 2014 and 2018. The papers have a common link: they are different contributions made by compositional data analysis to the study of the models based ...
Food consumption of Chinese outbound tourists in Spain
This dissertation aims to understand the food consuming behaviours of international tourists in their long-haul travel. This thesis is presented as a compendium of publications, which the first one intents to build a new ...
Oxidation of unactivated C-H bonds catalyzed by manganese complexes: control over site-selectivity and enantioselectivity
The oxidation of aliphatic C-H bonds is a very powerful reaction because it allows the functionalization of inert C-H bonds, converting them into a suitable sites for further chemical elaboration. It also represents one ...
HRM 4 Innovation: from determinants to performance. Essays from the Spanish context
Human resource (HR) practices are possible contributors to a firm’s success. There is a pressing need for empirical research that addresses how HR practices contribute to a company’s ability to be creative and innovative. ...
Analysis and development of experimental characterization methodologies of mode II fracture toughness on CFRP bonded joints
Adhesives have been shown to be an excellent solution for joining fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) components thanks to their capacity to redistribute loads, reduces stress concentrations and contribute to overall weight ...
Development of efficient numerical models for the simulation of low velocity impact and compression after impact on composite structures
Fiber reinforced composite materials are nowadays used in several industrial applications that pursue structural weight reduction to reduce fuel consumption. The stiffness-to-weight and strength-to-weight ratios of composite ...
Gold complexes for homogeneous cross-coupling catalysis and migratory insertion reactions
Most of the different homogeneous reactions catalyzed by gold have been developed in the past fifteen years and stem from the ability of both Au(I) and Au(III) complexes to coordinate and activate multiple carbon-carbon ...
Online acoustic localization methods for autonomous underwater vehicles
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) true autonomy capabilities in complex unknown environments, have not yet been fully achieved because of the lack of online algorithms that can solve fundamental problems such as ...
Mágica belleza. El pensamiento mágico como fundamento original de la teoría del arte
Artistic forms seem to be closely related to magical thinking, because of their use of symbols and representations, the creation of talismanic objects and the articulation of ritual practices. This link has fluctuated ...
Elimination of micropollutants in conventional and novel nitrogen removal processes. A comparative assessment of diverse microbial communities capabilities
Pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) and endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) can pose a significant risk to the environment and human health, undermining prosperity. Current wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) cannot ...
Influence of anthropogenic pollution on the prevalence, maintenance and spread of antibiotic resistance in aquatic microbial communities
This Thesis demonstrates that microorganisms derived from wastewater are the 2/2 main contributors to antibiotic resistance (AR) in the environment. Once there, the background chemical contamination with antibiotic ...
Reduced density matrices: development and chemical applications
In this thesis, we focused on the alternative methodologies that are based on the reconstruction of density matrices. While in DFT several benchmarks can be found in the literature, for the rest of alternative methodologies ...
Underwater navigation and mapping with an omnidirecional optical sensor
Omnidirectional vision has received increasing interest during the last decade from the computer vision community. However, the use of omnidirectional cameras underwater is still very limited. In this thesis we propose ...
Desenvolupament i aplicació dels microsatèl·lits a l'estudi de la dinàmica reproductiva de la Gamba rosada (Aristeus antennatus)
The blue and red shrimp, Aristeus antennatus, is a commercially important crustacean in the Western Mediterranean Sea and has been listed as a priority species for fishery management. In this thesis, 97 potential and novel ...
Identificació, interpretació i valorització turística de les zones humides litorals del Baix Ter
The aim of the thesis is to analyse the relationships between mass tourism in Baix Ter and the coastal wetlands. The goal is to know if the wetlands are able to become tourism resources and, thus, to provide arguments for ...
