Desarrollo de proyectos educativos desde la perspectiva de los fondos comunitarios de conocimiento e identidad
ENG- The main objective of this thesis is to illustrate and examine the potential of the Community Funds of Knowledge and Identity (CFoKI) approach as a theoretical-methodological tool to design, develop, and evaluate ...
Essays on the effects of school-meal programmes
ENG- Despite the growing body of research on the causal impact of school-meal programmes, the academic literature has yet to reach a consensus on their effects. This thesis contributes to the debate through a synthesis of ...
EL proceso monitorio entre su revisión doctrinal y jurisprudencial y su transformación en tiempos de cambio
ENG- The main purpose of this PhD thesis is to analyse the order for payment procedure regulated in Articles 812 to 818 of the LEC. A good indication of its relevance can be seen in the fact that around half of the proceedings ...
Integrating ecological complexity and physiological traits into environmental risk assessments
ENG- This thesis explored a more nature-based way to test chemical pollution, using a chemical called Benzotriazole-1H (BTR-1H), commonly found in industrial products and known to end up in rivers. Here's how the study ...
Unamuno’s natural foundation for religious faith
ENG- This doctoral dissertation is a collection of sixteen papers related to the question of the nature of religious faith and its justification. All these papers were motivated, implicitly or explicitly, by my interest ...
Juventud y Aislamiento Social Voluntario (hikikomori). Estudio de caso en la ciudad de Barcelona
ENG- This thesis examines the hikikomori phenomenon, understood as a form of extreme and voluntary social withdrawal, mainly involving young people who isolate themselves within the home for extended periods. Although the ...
Getting insight into C-H functionalization and cross-coupling reactions mediated by nickel and other first-row transition metals
ENG- Unfortunately, the implementation of first-row transition metals in catalysis presents certain challenges. Often, the high complexity of reaction mechanisms, as well as the difficulty in studying key intermediates due ...
Percepció, concepció i disseny sostenible. Utilització de materials compostos amb fibres naturals en productes de consum
ENG- The main objective is to analyze how a product, in this case small household appliances, can be offered to potential buyers as more environmentally friendly products, that is to say, considered more ecological products ...
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 ...
