A/r/tografía para explorar transformaciones educativas con el Art Thinking: innovación en la educación artística básica en Grecia
Today's society faces challenges such as the global economic crisis, social and political changes, and a health crisis. Among these challenges, education faces a crisis of its own, with the urgent need to prepare current ...
Análisis de la eficiencia del sistema bancario privado ecuatoriano a partir de la adopción del modelo de dolarización
The DEA analysis shows that medium-sized banks are more efficient than large banks, which are characterized by higher operating costs. Between 2002 and 2006, the Rumiñahui Bank was the most efficient, followed by the ...
Microbial characterization of different bread-making processes and assessment of their impact on human intestinal dysbiosis and inflammatory bowel disease
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of immune-mediated chronic inflammatory intestinal conditions of multifactorial etiology. Unfortunately, there are still some gaps in its pathophysiology and, therefore, in its ...
Decoding the enigma of Lophocladia: exploring its invasive behavior and the ecological implications
The synergy between climate change and biological invasions presents a significant threat to ecosystems worldwide. In the Mediterranean Sea, the proliferation of invasive species has surged since the early 20th century, ...
La responsabilidad de los estados y las compañías energéticas por el cambio climático. Estudio de los elementos de la responsabilidad civil presentes en la litigación climática
Climate is defined by a particular trait: its natural and gradual transformation. However, for several years now the international scientific community has warned that climate patterns are changing dangerously and rapidly. ...
Exploration into non-traditional risk factors of subclinical atherosclerosis in low-risk adults
Background: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) manifests silently as subclinical atherosclerosis before a clinical event. Disparities in ASCVD risk, particularly among underrepresented ethnic and racial groups, ...
La muntanya a Catalunya: institució moral i negoci turístic. El projecte de Ferrocarriles de Montaña a Grandes Pendientes a Núria (1917-1936)
The Ferrocarriles de Montaña a Grandes Pendientes (FMGP) projects emerged from the ground of the symbolic construction of the mountains of Catalonia. The Renaixença had transformed them into the cradle of national traditions. ...
Applications of supramolecular nanocapsules: regioselective functionalization of fullerenes and molecular recognition of endohedral metallofullerenes
Since the discovery of fullerenes and endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs), these spheroidal carbon cages have attracted the attention of the scientific community due to their exceptional electronic and physicochemical ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
