Materials such as wood, textiles, or plastics that are part of the exhibition system in museums are known to emit pollutants such as organic acids. Scientific and technical objects that include these materials in their composition can themselves be a potential source of emissions, which, together with inappropriate humidity and temperature conditions, can lead to corrosion of the metallic parts. In this work, we have studied the corrosivity of different locations in two venues of the Spanish National Museum of Science and Technology (MUNCYT). Coupons of the most representative metals from the collection were placed in different showcases and rooms for 9 months. The corrosion of the coupons has been evaluated in terms of the rate of mass gain, colour changes and characterisation of the corrosion products. The results were correlated to the relative humidity and concentration of gaseous pollutants to determine which metals are most susceptible to corrosion. The results show that metal artefacts exposed in showcases have a higher risk of corrosion than those exposed directly in the room, and that some pollutants are emitted by the artefacts. The corrosivity of the museum environment is low for copper, brass, and aluminium in most locations; however, some placements present a higher aggressivity for steel and lead, due to the high humidity and the presence of organic acids.

Introduction: Fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a frequent and severe complication of connective tissue disease (CTD). Areas covered: In this narrative review, we update the most relevant differential characteristics of fibrotic ILD associated with CTD (CTD-ILD) and propose a diagnostic and therapeutic approach based on a review of the articles published between 2002 and 2022 through PubMed. Expert opinion: The subset of ILD, mainly the radiological/histological pattern and the degree of fibrotic component, usually determines the prognosis and therapeutic strategy for these patients. Some patients with CTD-ILD can develop progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) with severe deterioration of lung function, rapid progression to chronic respiratory failure, and high mortality. PPF has been described in many CTDs, mainly in systemic sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis, and requires a multidisciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic approach to improve patient outcomes.

Antecedentes: Las personas con discapacidad intelectual pueden estar expuestas a un mayor riesgo de ahogamiento que el resto de la población porque las enseñanzas que reciben no suelen desarrollar las competencias que lo previenen. Objetivo: Los objetivos de este estudio han sido dos: el primero de ellos fue conocer los aprendizajes conceptuales que han adquirido un grupo de personas con discapacidad intelectual (DI) después de recibir un taller de salvamento y socorrismo. El segundo, fue conocer la opinión y los sentimientos que generó la impartición de este taller en el alumnado. Método: 13 personas con DI leve y moderada (7 hombres y 6 mujeres) recibieron un taller teórico-práctico sobre seguridad acuática. El taller constaba de 2 sesiones y se desarrolló en una piscina climatizada. La metodología de investigación fue de tipo cualitativo y el instrumento empleado para la recogida de información fue el diario reflexivo. Resultados: Los resultados muestran que el alumnado adquirió aprendizajes útiles para la mejora de su seguridad acuática. Además, las personas participantes manifestaron que el taller les había gustado mucho porque se habían divertido mientras aprendían cosas nuevas y útiles para colaborar con sus compañeros y para ayudar a los demás. Conclusiones: En definitiva, dotar a toda la población de experiencias controladas en las que puedan vivenciar la dificultad y el riesgo que implica realizar un rescate acuático es una herramienta útil para evitar que las personas traten de resolver los ahogamientos sin estar debidamente formadas para ello. Por todo lo anterior, se recomienda que las enseñanzas que cursan las personas con DI desarrollen competencias, recursos y experiencias que mejoren su educación acuática. Background: People with intellectual disabilities may be exposed to a greater risk of drowning than the rest of the population because the education they receive does not usually develop the skills that prevent it. Goals: The objectives of this study have been two: the first one was to know about the conceptual learnings acquired in the workshop. The second one was to know about the student’s opinion and feelings brought out by this workshop. Methodology: 13 people with mild and moderate intellectual disability (ID) (7 men and 6 women) participated in a theoretical-practical workshop about water safety. The workshop consisted of 2 sessions and took place in an indoor pool. In this study, a qualitative methodology was applied and a reflective diary was used as an instrument to collect information. Results: The results show that the students acquired useful learning to improve their aquatic safety. In addition, participants stated that they liked the workshop a lot because they had fun learning new and useful things to collaborate with their classmates and to help others. Conclusions: In short, providing the entire population with controlled activities in which they can experience the difficulties and risks involved in a water rescue, is a useful tool to prevent people from trying to solve drowning situations without being properly trained to do it. So, it is recommended that people with intellectual disabilities education includes teaching skills, resources and experiences that help to improve their aquatic education.

[EN] An infographic is a visual representation in which complex ideas are expressed through a combination of elements (illustrations, diagrams, maps, graphics, tables, etc.), with the aim of making them understandable. Infographics are present in newspapers, magazines, ads, newsletters, etc. but in university teaching they offer interesting didactic possibilities. There is ample evidence about the fact that infographics have turned out to be an adequate strategy to have a global vision of the degree of assimilation of content by the students. And in addition, infographics favour the development of technological skills and creativity as key competences in students' development. To the extent that this communication raises infographics as a group work and therefore favours cooperative learning (linked, in turn, to the cognitive level of creativity) the objective is to propose the use of infographics as a tool for the continuous evaluation of students. Its use is proposed at the end of each of the thematic units of a certain subject. In this way, a double follow -up can be done: the degree of knowledge acquisition and the level of development of competencies linked to creativity and technological skills. Thus, from the characteristics of the commented subject itself, of the experience in the use of infographics in said subject and the results of said experience, a rubric is also proposed for the correction of infographics, which provides immediate feedback to students in order to favour their learning and the development of the commented skills. The proposal is developed within the frame of the ¿Infographics project applied to university teaching¿, from the Institute of Educational Sciences (ICE) of the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV)., The present teaching experience is framed in the Teaching Innovation and Improvement Project, called Infographies. Use of ICT in the visual and creative representation of content in teaching funded by the Institute of Education Sciences (ICE) of the Polytechnic University of València. We want to thank the ICE of the UPV for facilitating that teaching scenarios are generated, which have resulted in such enriching results, both for students and for teachers and for promoting research in teaching.

[EN] During the project ¿Infographics Applied to University Teaching¿, supported by the Institute of Educational Sciences -ICE- of the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia -UPV-, we implemented the use of individual and shared group infographics. In this work, we have collected the students' reflections on the use of infographics as a tool in university teaching through the means of a focus group at the end of the teaching experience. The focus group has been assembled with a parity selection of the students for equity gender and with a specific selection of questions for data collection. In this study, we will analyse the information obtained in-depth, in order to extract the advantages, disadvantages and possible improvements for the use of infographics in the university classroom. The analysis has been based on the incorporation of individual and shared group infographics. The students created individual infographics based on the complex exercises that they have elaborated in the classroom, adding to them their own conclusions. For the shared group infographics, they created joint research, in teams of four to five students. After this exercise, they presented and debated their work in the classroom. The graphic representation that is created with infographics helps increase in-depth learning, as it allows students to establish a hierarchy of the contents, organize them graphically and present the final figure to their classmates. The results of this experience gathered from the data in the focus groups, show that the students valued it positively, the acquisition of content, self-regulation, and collaborative work. Moreover, analysing their experience with this teaching innovation encourages them to reflect on their metacognitive learning process and helps us to understand the scope of our actions., The present teaching experience, as mentioned previously, is framed in the Educational Innovation and Improvement Project -PIME-, called Infographics. Use of ICT in the visual and creative representation of content in teaching of the Institute of Education Sciences -ICE- of the Polytechnic University of Valencia -UPV-. Likewise, the PIME is part of the Educational Innovation and Quality Team EICE Digital tools for the acquisition of transversal competencies and the application of the SDGs online. We want to thank the ICE of the UPV for facilitating the creation of teaching scenarios, which have resulted in such enriching results, both for students and teachers, and for promoting research in teaching.

Reproducible manuscript for "Screen time as an index of family distress"

The literature has widely investigated the risks from the perspective of the companies adopting new and disruptive technologies. However, less attention has been paid from the side of the providers of such technologies. This paper aims to address this gap by assessing and initiating a discussion on the reported risk factors in the annual reports of five of the considered top providers of cloud computing services: Amazon, Google, IBM, Microsoft, and Alibaba, characterized by their avant-garde or disruptive technologies, their dependence on the internet and technological infrastructure, and their operation on a global scale. As main contributions, this research offers from the viewpoint of these companies a classification of the intrinsic risk factors related to their specific nature, grouped by subjects, along with the potential derived negative impacts on their businesses, and critically discusses some positive aspects and some potentially missing factors to be further addressed. Through this paper, we prepare the avenue for ongoing research, including more companies and further assessment methods and criteria to further expand and enrich the findings.

This work explores the different frontline and offline activities during the use of hotels and restaurants -represented as the touchpoints of a customer journey- to establish what circular actions could be implemented by stakeholders throughout the process, which lead to more circular business models that integrates the seven R’s (redesign, reduce, reuse, reneovate/repair,refurbish/remanufacture, recover/return and recycle) to achieve more efficient and sustainable performance. From the reservation step to the customer satisfaction evaluation, the interactions of hotels or restaurants with suppliers from many different economic sectors determine a variety of activities in their value chain that creates synergies, enhance circularity and add value to the tourism sector through the implementation of sustainable practices or the acquisition of sustainable products and services. Based on the literature, reports and lessons learned in the sector through specific Focus Groups previously carried for the research team, the proposed model can help hotels and restaurants decision-makers to take steps toward circular economy.

[EN] This paper uses Learning Analytics and Dashboard to analyse the results of a course attended in the same sessions by students from two different Bachelor’s Degrees. The aim is to identify differences in the results of the two degrees and possible reasons for these differences. The data used come from databases of the Universitat Politècnica de València, which are available for each subject. Power BI software is used for data analysis and visualization. The Dashboard enables us to visually answer three questions formulated in relation to learning outcomes. The results show differences between the two degrees, but differences depend on specific tasks and class attendance. The results serve as a basis for future questions and to look for additional reasons that may explain the differences from additional points of view., [ES] Este trabajo utiliza Analítica de aprendizaje y Tablero de control para analizar los resultados de una asignatura compartida entre dos Grados. El objetivo es identificar diferencias en los resultados de las dos titulaciones y posibles razones de esas diferencias. Los datos utilizados proceden de bases de datos existentes en la Universitat Politècnica de València para cada asignatura. A partir de los datos existentes se utiliza el software Power BI para realizar análisis y visualizarlos. El Tablero de control permite responder visualmente a tres preguntas formuladas en relación a los resultados obtenidos por el alumnado. Los resultados muestran diferencias entre las dos titulaciones, pero se observa que las diferencias dependen de tareas concretas y de la asistencia a clase. Los resultados sirven de base para plantear preguntas futuras y buscar razones adicionales que puedan explicar las diferencias desde otros puntos de vista.

This research exposes the diverse sporting, social, economic, and political circumstances that amateur boxing experienced during the 1980s and early 1990s in Spain. This qualitative research is framed in the History of the Present Time and used the testimony of six oral sources, three of them Olympic boxers contemporary to the period under study. The results show that boxing began to be understood as a violent practice by some sectors of the Spanish population and its practice was banned in some parts of Spain. Its dissemination in the press and public television diminished notably and a gap was opened between professional boxing and amateur boxing in the popular ideology, understanding both with the differences that identified them, since the former began to be vilified, which negatively affected amateur boxing. These circumstances began to change in the 1990s, as boxing began to be used as a form of self-defence and was included in sports complexes for purposes other than competition. We can conclude that, despite the fact that in the 1980s the Spanish sport experienced a definitive boost, the circumstances described above were especially detrimental to amateur boxing in terms of the recruitment of practitioners and with respect to the economic support necessary for technicians and gyms in which they developed their pugilistic practice, which continued to be constituted as exclusive boxing halls located in marginal neighbourhoods.

El presente trabajo parte de la motivación por rescatar la presencia del Ideario Olímpicoy la filosofía del Olimpismoen la realidad universitaria española y conocer de qué manera está presente e impulsado entre los universitarios españoles. Se ha cumplido este objetivo con un estudio de caso realizando un rescate histórico de los impulsos llevados a cabo por el Centro de Estudios Olímpicos(CEO) de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM). Así se ha centrado en la creación y la evolución del Premio a los Valores Olímpicos “Conrado Durántez”.En el proceso de investigación se han utilizado las fuentes primarias que suponen los documentos del archivo del citado CEO:El convenio de la creación del CEO, cartas remitidas a las autoridades académicas justificandola motivación de la creación del premio y sus circunstancias, las cartas remitidas al profesorado en diferentes momentos sobre sus convocatorias, las comunicaciones al profesorado y al alumnado exponiendo su motivación; las actas de las votaciones para elegir los ganadores, etc.Como resultado se constata que el Premio a los Valores Olímpicos Conrado Durántezfue creado el año 2013para premiar, a partir de la votación de sus compañeros de promoción, la calidad humana de aquellos universitarios que, cuandoterminan su trayectoria académica en la UAM, han manifestado un talante y un comportamiento práctico más acorde con el Ideario Olímpico. Se han venido otorgando anualmente desde el año 2014hasta la actualidad, The present work is based on the motivation to rescue the presence of the Olympic Ideologyand the philosophy of Olympismin the Spanish university reality and to know in what way it is present and promoted among Spanish university students. This objective has been achieved by means of a case study, carrying out a historical rescue of the impulses undertaken by the Olympic Study Center(OSC) of the Autonomous University of Madrid(AUM). Thus, it has focused on the creation and evolution of the "Conrado Durántez" Olympic Values Award.In the research process, the primary sources used were the documents in the archives of the OSC: the agreement for the creation of the OSC, letters sent to the academic authorities justifying the motivation for the creation of the award and its circumstances, the letters sent to the faculty at different times about its calls, the communications to the faculty and students explaining their motivation, the minutes of the voting to choose the winners, and so on.As a result, the Conrado Durántez Olympic Values Awardwas created in 2015 to reward, based on the vote of their classmates, the human quality of those university students who, when they finish their academic career at the AUM, have shown a disposition and a practical behavior more in line with the Olympic Ideology. They have been awarded annually from 2015 to the present

BACKGROUND: The clinical effectiveness of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination in kidney transplant (KT) recipients is lower than in the general population. METHODS: From April to October 2021, 481 KT recipients with COVID-19, included in the Spanish Society of Nephrology COVID-19 Registry, were analyzed. Data regarding vaccination status and vaccine type were collected, and outcomes of unvaccinated or partially vaccinated patients (n = 130) were compared with fully vaccinated patients (n = 351). RESULTS: Clinical picture was similar and survival analysis showed no differences between groups: 21.7% of fully vaccinated patients and 20.8% of unvaccinated or partially vaccinated died (P = 0.776). In multivariable analysis, age and pneumonia were independent risk factors for death, whereas vaccination status was not related to mortality. These results remained similar when we excluded patients with partial vaccination, as well as when we analyzed exclusively hospitalized patients. Patients vaccinated with mRNA-1273 (n = 213) showed a significantly lower mortality than those who received the BNT162b2 vaccine (n = 121) (hazard ratio: 0.52; 95% confidence interval, 0.31-0.85; P = 0.010). CONCLUSIONS: COVID-19 severity in KT patients has remained high and has not improved despite receiving 2 doses of the mRNA vaccine. The mRNA-1273 vaccine shows higher clinical effectiveness than BNT162b2 in KT recipients with breakthrough infections. Confirmation of these data will require further research taking into account the new variants and the administration of successive vaccine doses.

Les experiències d’aprenentatge-servei en les que estan implicades les activitats físiques i els esports són cada vegada més nombroses a la universitat. Això ha comportat un augment de les publicacions. En ser una metodologia en què la participació de l’alumnat és clau, moltes d’aquestes publicacions se centren en el seu procés d’aprenentatge, quedant en un segon pla les persones a les que es dirigeix el servei. L’objectiu principal d’aquest treball és conèixer quin tipus de presència tenen les persones receptores dels serveis en les publicacions. S’ha realitzat una revisió narrativa de la literatura en què es van analitzar 310 documents amb el software NVivo Release 14.1. Només es van trobar referències sobre les persones receptores en 55. Els resultats mostren que la presència dels col·lectius receptors és escassa a la literatura, i que en ocasions, altres persones parlen per ells. Per tant, la presència de les seves veus és mínima. Davant la diversitat de les persones a les que es dirigeixen els serveix, es creu necessari desenvolupar instruments de recerca ad hoc per recollir-ne els seus testimonis fent atenció a les seves característiques i necessitats., There has been an increase in Service-Learning (SL) experiences involving physical activities and sports at university. This has led to a rising in publications on the topic. As SL is a methodology in which the students’ participation is key, many of these publications focus on the students’ learning process, leaving aside the people to whom the service is addressed. The main objective of this work is thus to know what type of presence people who received the services had in the publications. To do so, a narrative review of the literature was carried out in which 310 documents were analysed through the NVivo Release 14.1 software. References of recipients were found in only 55 of the documents. The results show that the presence of the receiving groups in the literature is scarce, and that in many cases, the information came from people who were not receivers themselves, so the presence of their voices is minimal. Facing the diversity of people who receive the services, it is strongly recommended to develop ad hoc research instruments to collect their testimonies in accordance with their characteristics and needs., Las experiencias de aprendizaje-servicio en las que están implicadas las actividades físicas y los deportes son cada vez más numerosas en la universidad. Esto ha traído consigo que las publicaciones aumenten. Al ser una metodología en la que la participación del alumnado es clave, muchas de estas publicaciones ponen el foco en su proceso de aprendizaje, quedando en un segundo plano las personas a las que se dirige el servicio. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es conocer qué tipo de presencia tienen las personas receptoras de los servicios en las publicaciones. Por ello, se ha realizado una revisión narrativa de la literatura en la que se analizaron 310 documentos a través del software NVivo Release 14.1. Tan solo se encontraron referencias sobre las personas receptoras en 55 de ellos. Los resultados muestran que la presencia de los colectivos receptores es escasa en la literatura y que, en ocasiones, son otras las personas que hablan en su lugar, siendo mínima la presencia de sus voces. Ante la diversidad de las personas a las que se dirigen los servicios, se ve necesario desarrollar instrumentos de investigación ad hoc para recoger sus testimonios atendiendo a sus características y necesidades.

This research aims to demonstrate that the service-learning methodology is an effective tool for people with intellectual disabilities to acquire the necessary skills to solve the drowning of another person, assuming minimal risk. In addition, it is also intended to know the perception of university students about the effect that the participation in a service-learning project developed with people with intellectual disabilities, has caused on them. To achieve these objectives, this research has had the voluntary participation of students of the Physical Activity and Sport Science Degree to provide two sessions of aquatic rescue to a group of people with intellectual disability. The methodology used in this study has been quantitative and qualitative. The results show that the service-learning methodology is a useful tool to improve the safety of people with intellectual disabilities in the aquatic environment. Regarding the second of the objectives set for this study, it is concluded that university students have perceived that their academic competence, their respect and their understanding towards people with intellectual disabilities has increased. At the same time, the students have perceived changes in their personal identity and they have expressed the intention to be involved in projects with a positive social impact in the future., En esta investigación se pretende demostrar que la metodología aprendizaje-servicio es una herramienta eficaz para que las personas con discapacidad intelectual, adquieran las competencias necesarias para resolver el ahogamiento de otra persona, asumiendo un riesgo mínimo. Por otro lado, también se pretende conocer la percepción del alum-nado universitario sobre el efecto que les ha producido la participación en un proyecto de aprendizaje y servicio desarrollado con personas con discapacidad intelectual. Para la consecución de estos objetivos se ha contado con la participación voluntaria de estudiantes del Grado en Ciencias de la Actividad Física y del Deporte para impartir dos sesiones de salvamento acuático a un grupo de personas con discapacidad intelectual. La metodología utilizada en esta investigación ha sido tanto cuantitativa como cualitativa. Los resultados demuestran que la metodología aprendizaje y servicio es una herramienta útil para mejorar la seguridad de las personas con discapacidad intelectual en el medio acuático. Respecto al segundo de los objetivos planteados para este trabajo, se concluye que el alumnado uni-versitario ha percibido que su competencia académica, su respeto y su comprensión hacia las personas con discapacidad intelectual ha aumentado. Al mismo tiempo, el alumnado ha apreciado cambios en su identidad personal y han manifestado la intención de implicarse en proyectos que tengan un impacto social positivo en el futuro

[EN] This work presents the design of tasks in two courses at the Faculty of Business Administration and Management between 2020–2021. Because on-campus learning was limited, the tasks were designed to enable students to use digital tools. The learning outcomes were defined to ensure that students acquired both STEAM and soft competences. The STEAM competences in these subjects focused on developing curiosity (S: science), using technology (T), solving problems (E: engineering) and communicating in a visual manner (A: arts). In the first course, the task, which was implemented across two lessons, required the students to review a service. The students used digital tools to trace the customer journey, including pain points (negative opinions about the experience) users indicated, solutions to address those pain points and the main challenges involved in the solutions’ implementation. The use of digital tools added the technology competence to the competences students had already acquired in previous years (science, engineering, arts). In the second course, students worked on their bachelor’s degree theses, which they will be required to present both orally and in writing to three professors of the faculty. The task designed in this subject involved a screencast video produced by each student. Each student’s video was required to follow the format of the actual presentation of his or her thesis. This task added the technology and arts competences to the competences they had acquired in previous courses (science and engineering). This paper presents the results obtained from the two courses. These include the evaluation of learning outcomes in relation to previous years, the advantages and disadvantages of the tools selected in each subject and improvements to be incorporated in future years., This paper was written as part of two innovation and educational improvement projects (PIME) with the support of the Universitat Politècnica de València (Institute of Educational Sciences, ICE). The first project, entitled ‘Applying STEAM strategies in the areas of social sciences and arts through service-learning activities’, is coordinated by Professor María deMiguel-Molina. The second project, entitled ‘Infographics: Using ICT in the visual and creative representation of teaching content’, is coordinated by Professor María-Angeles Carabal-Montagud.

An increasing amount of research is investigating the effects of self-efficacy in various areas. In the academic setup, predominantly, the correlation between self-efficacy and the student’s performance is being measured. Stress is another influencing factor on academic performance that has been widely investigated. However, only limited research is available on the direct interdependency between stress and self-efficacy for the academic background, especially in the first semester and over time. This article provides an overview of the literature on the theoretical background to self-efficacy and stress and reviews current studies on the interdependencies of these two factors. The main findings are that there is a moderate to significant negative correlation of self-efficacy on stress and a moderate impact of stress on self-efficacy and that the stress level and self-efficacy of students are changing over time. Based on these insights, and since there is no literature available on the timely development and direct connection between self-efficacy and stress, we suggest further investigating temporal and causal coherence.

Busines digitisation represents a milestone for companies’ prospects, and senior management support is one of the key aspects for its successful implementation. However, this support through their discourse has been underexplored. This paper contributes in this direction, by taking the cases of the top Finish and Spanish companies listed in the OMXH 25 and IBEX 35 respectively, with Finland at the top of the list of European Union countries in terms of business digitisation and Spain in the average, as benchmarks for examining the letters of top managers in annual reports in relation to their support and drivers approach. The results show that yet in both countries a relevant part of top managers does not show this support, more pronounced in Spanish companies. In addition, the weight of each block of drivers to support business digitisation identified in the literature also differs between the two countries, with the top managers of Finish companies showing a more customer-driven approach, and in the case of Spain a more business-driven approach, whereas sustainability is the least mentioned driver in both cases, as an aspect to improve.

[Background and objective]: The abnormal shortening of telomeres is a mechanism linking ageing to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) that could be useful in the clinical setting. The objective of this study was to identify the IPF patients with higher risk for telomere shortening and to investigate the outcome implications., [Methods]: Consecutive Spanish patients were included at diagnosis and followed up for 3 years. DNA blood samples from a Mexican cohort were used to validate the results found in Spanish sporadic IPF. Prior to treatment, telomere length was measured through quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and Southern blot. Outcome was assessed according to mortality or need for lung transplantation. A multivariate regression logistic model was used for statistical analysis., [Results]: Family aggregation, age of, [Conclusion]: Our data indicate that young sporadic IPF patients (, This study was funded by Instituto de Salud Carlos III through project PI15/00710 (Co-funded by European Regional Development Fund, ERDF, a way to build Europe) and project PI14-01495-FEDER through the Biomedical National Research Network CIBER, the Spanish and Catalan Respiratory Societies SEPAR and SOCAP, and the research foundations FUCAP and Barcelona Respiratory Network (BRN).

Trabajo fin de máster. Defendido en enero de 2020. El Alzheimer es el tipo de demencia más frecuente en la población longeva. Es considerado una enfermedad neurodegenerativa y progresiva. Frecuentemente comienza con olvidos recurrentes y pérdidas de memoria pronunciadas. El tratamiento farmacológico se utiliza para paliar los síntomas, ya que no tiene una función curativa. Es frecuente que los sujetos reciban de forma complementaria tratamiento no farmacológico, para mejorar su calidad de vida, como la Musicoterapia. El objetivo de esta revisión sistemática es evaluar los efectos que ofrece la Musicoterapia en el Alzheimer. Esta revisión muestra los efectos positivos que provoca la Musicoterapia. No obstante, debido a la escasez de estudios que dispongan de un tamaño muestral amplio, es necesario disponer de más estudios que corroboren los efectos de dicha terapia en el Alzheimer. Abstract: Alzheimer's is the most frequent type of dementia amongst the elderly population. It is considered a neurodegenerative and progressive disease. It often begins with recurring forgetfulness and pronounced memory loss. Pharmacological treatment is only to alleviate the symptoms, since there is no cure for Alzheimer yet. Thus, subjects usually receive medication which is not pharmacological in order to improve their quality of life, such as Music Therapy. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the effect of Music Therapy on Alzheimer. This research shows the positive effects that Music Therapy causes. However, due to the lack of studies with a large sample size, more studies are still necessary to support the effects of this therapy on Alzheimer's.

[EN] In the twentieth century, several large cities in the United States used murals to promote African-American culture and issues. For example, California had three decades, known as the 'Golden Years' of Afro-American muralism, between the 1970s and the 1990s, although this movement lost steam over time. At the time, public policies in California encouraged muralism in cities like Los Angeles, but today, African-American murals are absent from the visitor's experience. However, literature has demonstrated that mural movements create positive effects as drivers of community development and identity preservation. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to explore new mural routes in Los Angeles that could be an opportunity to showcase African-American issues, whilst adding value to the visitor's experience. For this purpose, we performed a content analysis of the literature and other documents related to these topics and we classified the city's most representative African-American murals., We would like to thank the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia's Vice-Rectorate for Research, Innovation and Transfer for its support during Prof. De Miguel's Visiting Scholar period at UC Berkeley (Department of African American Studies).

La vecería en los árboles frutales consiste en un año de cosecha muy abundante al que sucede otro de escasa cosechay viceversa. En esta experiencia realizada durante 4 años de cosecha 2016, 2017, 2018 y 2019, trabajando con variedades descendientes de Moncada como son la Moncalina y la Milana, todas ellas de comportamiento muy vecero, se pretende la reducción de la vecería. Para ello se probaron tres tratamientos T0, T1 y T2. Los productos probados en T1 y T2 eran, CaCl2 al 0,5% + epsomita al 0,5% + quelato de Zn al 0,05% + Foliarel (0,21% B al 0,05%) + ácido salicílico (10% de ácido) a 100 ppm, la diferencia entre T1 y T2 consistía en la época de aplicación así T1 fue aplicado durante los años de alta producción “on” en mayo, junio, julio y agosto, mientras que durante los años de baja producción “off”, se aplicó en marzo, abril, mayo y junio. T2 fue aplicado siempre en marzo, abril, mayo y junio de cada año, con independencia de si se tratara de un año de alta o baja cosecha. En las producciones anuales solo se encontraron diferencias el segundo año, donde la producción media de T1 fue significativamente mayor (36,5 kg/árbol) que TO y T2 con 15,8 y 13,4 kg/árbol respectivamente. En cuanto al número de frutos, T1 fue significativamente superior a T2 en el 2º año de cosecha y a TO en el 4º año. Los valores medios de los 4 años indican un mayor número de frutos en el caso de T1 (357), frente a los tratamientos TO (269) y T2 (306), con diferencias significativas entre T1 y el testigo T0.

In this paper, the level of development and implementation of mobile applications in Spanish universities is analyzed. First, we propose a categorization and service-oriented classification of the existing apps. Second, an assessment tool was designed. This instrument, called MappUn (Metric for Mobile Apps in Universities), includes functional areas, services and their weighting, with the purpose of assessing both the quantity and type of mobile applications, and detecting the most advanced or laggard areas of development. Finally, am-Learning ranking for Spanish universities was calculated according to the number of the mobile applications provided by them for the different services, allowing for the identification of leaders from which to derive significant experiences, best practices and advice. It was concluded that Spanish universities are still in the initial stages of m-Learning implementation or in a moderate development phase. Due to its simplicity, clarity, rigor and flexibility, this instrument can be applied to different academic contexts. Se analiza el nivel de desarrollo e implementación de las aplicaciones móviles en las universidades españolas. A partir de una categorización y clasificación temática de las apps existentes, se diseña un instrumento de evaluación consensuado por expertos, denominado MappUn (Métrica para Mobile Apps en Universidades), que recoge las áreas funcionales, los servicios y su ponderación, para valorar la cantidad y tipo de aplicaciones móviles, y detectar las áreas de desarrollo avanzadas o rezagadas. Finalmente, se calcula el grado de visibilidad de las universidades en función del número y nivel de desarrollo de las aplicaciones móviles analizadas, permitiendo la identificación de líderes a partir de los cuales derivar experiencias significativas, mejores prácticas y consejo. Se constata que las universidades españolas se encuentran todavía en estadios iniciales de su implementación o en una fase de desarrollo moderado. La simplicidad, claridad, rigor y flexibilidad de este instrumento permite su aplicación a diferentes contextos académicos.

Antecedentes: En la actualidad, existe un alto número de personas afectadas por infertilidad, siendo cada vez más necesarias las Técnicas de Reproducción Asistida (TRA). En general, la obesidad en relación con la morbilidad reproductiva está asociada al incremento del Índice de Masa Corporal (IMC). Un aumento por encima de 25 kg/m2 se asocia con un aumento de los trastornos reproductivos. Objetivo: Analizar la relación entre la obesidad y los resultados de las TRA. Métodología: Se llevó a cabo un diseño no experimental, transversal, descriptivo y correlacional, mediante un análisis de datos secundarios del centro Ginemed Sevilla. Se analizaron las historias clínicas de mujeres sometidas a TRA de fecundación in vitro, entre 2015-2018. De un total de 5.651 historias, tras los criterios de inclusión, finalmente se seleccionaron 3.273. Se recogieron datos de filiación e inicio del tratamiento, datos antropométricos, consumo de alcohol y tabaco, antecedentes personales, enfermedades actuales, esterilidad primaria, esterilidad secundaria, así como los parámetros referentes a los resultados tras tratamiento de reproducción asistida. El análisis estadístico se realizó mediante el software SPSS-V25. Resultados: La edad media fue de 37 años (desviación típica 4,23), el IMC fue de 23,2. El 48,9% tenían baja reserva ovárica. El 22,3% de las mujeres consumían alcohol, de estas el 74,20% tenían normopeso y el 48,30% tenían baja reserva ovárica. El 17,8% eran fumadoras, de las cuales, el 72,5% tenían normopeso y el 48,8% tenían baja reserva ovárica. El 85% de las mujeres no padecían ninguna enfermedad actual de interés. Las enfermedades más prevalente fueron las endocrinológicas (7,30%) y las ginecológicas (6,10%). La tasa de fecundación fue mayor en el grupo obesidad (63,98%). Conclusiones: No se hallaron diferencias significativas en cuanto al consumo de alcohol y de tabaco en relación con el IMC, aunque hubo unos mínimos mejores resultados en mujeres no fumadoras. Se ha encontrado una mayor tasa de fecundación en el grupo de obesidad, aunque el tamaño de la muestra de este grupo ha sido muy inferior a la del grupo normopeso. Background: Nowadays, there is a large number of people affected with infertility and the assisted reproduction techniques are becoming increasingly needed (ART). In general, the relation between reproductive morbidity and obesity is related to an increase in the Body Mass Index (BMI). An increase above 25 kg/m2 is associated to a higher risk of reproductive disorders. Objective: To analyse the relation between obesity and the results of the ART. Methods: A non-experimental, transversal, descriptive and correlational design was performed, through an analysis of secondary data of Ginemed Sevilla center. Medical histories of women treated with in vitro fertilisation ART between 2015-2018 were analysed. 5.651 histories were considered, and 3.273 were selected after apply the inclusion criteria. The data gathered was affiliation details, treatment beginning date, anthropometrics, alcohol and tobacco consumption, personal background, current diseases, primary and secondary sterility and parameters related to ART treatment results. The statistical analysis was performed with the software SPSS-V25. Results: The average age was 37 years old (standard deviation 4.23), BMI was 23.24, 48.9% of the women had poor ovarian reserve. 22.3% of the women consumed alcohol, 74.20% of these women had a normal weight and 48.30% had poor ovarian reserve. 17.8% of the women were regular smokers, 72.5% of these women had normal weight and 48.8% had poor ovarian reserve. 85% of the women had no significant medical history. The most prevalent diseases were endocrine disease (7.30%) and gynaecological disease (6.10%). The fertility rates were higher in the obesity group. Conclusions: No significant differences were found on alcohol and tobacco consumption in relation to BMI. Minimal improvements were found in non-smoking women. A highest rate of fertilization was found in obesity group, although the sample obesity group size was less than the normal weight group size.

Este trabajo consiste en implantar y evaluar el uso de la metodología BIM en los trabajos de las asignaturas de construcción de los estudiantes del Grado en Fundamentos de Arquitectura y del Máster en Arquitectura. Se revisarán los diferentes aspectos del curso donde los estudiantes desarrollan conceptos de construcción e instalaciones, en los trabajos de la evaluación continua.

Research on reading comprehension in immigrant students is heterogeneous and conflicting. Differences in socioeconomic status and cultural origins are very likely confounds in determining whether differences to native pupils can be attributed to immigrant status. We collected data on 312 Spanish students of Native, of Hispanic origin–therefore with the same family language as native students- and Non-Hispanic origin, while controlling for socioeconomic status, non-verbal reasoning and school membership. We measured reading comprehension, knowledge of syntax, sentence comprehension monitoring, and vocabulary. Differences among groups appeared only in vocabulary and syntax (with poorer performance in the non-Hispanic group), with no differences in reading comprehension. However, regression analyses showed that most of the variability in reading comprehension was predicted by age, socioeconomic status, non-verbal reasoning, and comprehension monitoring. Group membership did not significantly contribute to explain reading comprehension variability. The present study supports the idea that socioeconomically disadvantaged students, both native and immigrants from diverse cultural backgrounds, irrespective of the language of origin, are probably equally at risk of poor reading comprehension.

Título, resumen y palabras clave también en inglés Resumen basado en el de la publicación Monográfico con el título: "Profesores para el siglo XXI : perfil académico, formación inicial y prácticas docentes de los profesores españoles. Introducción" Disponible versión en inglés La motivación es una característica muy estudiada para determinar quién accede a los estudios de maestro. En este contexto, el instrumento FIT-Choice (Factors Influencing Teaching Choice) es de los más utilizados a nivel mundial y cuenta con diversas adaptaciones de idioma y de estructura dimensional. Se analiza la fiabilidad de las distintas escalas empleadas y su variabilidad entre los trabajos que la usan, mediante la técnica de meta-análisis de generalización de la fiabilidad. Se propone un modelo de efectos aleatorios para estimar la fiabilidad media y se estudia la heterogeneidad de los coeficientes con los estadísticos Q de Cochran y I2. También se emplea la meta-regresión para conocer el efecto de variables moderadoras relacionadas con el instrumento (tipo de FIT-Choice, idioma de la prueba) y de la muestra (tipo de docente, % de mujeres y edad). Los resultados muestran una buena fiabilidad promedio en la mayor parte de las subescalas, excepto en tres, movilidad en el trabajo, elección de la carrera como opción alternativa y dificultad percibida, con valores por debajo de 0.7. Destaca la gran variabilidad de la fiabilidad entre estudios, siendo la escala de satisfacción la que presenta mayor heterogeneidad. Los resultados muestran cómo la variación de la fiabilidad de algunas escalas está vinculada a las características del FIT-Choice utilizado y al tipo de docente. ESP

Eating disorders (EDs) are prevalent in sports. Although a distinction has been made to date between high- and low-risk sports for EDs, recent studies have indicated that footballers and other athletes in low-risk sports are as vulnerable for Eds as athletes from sports that emphasize weight and body appearance. The aim of this study was to determine whether there are particular configurations of psychosocial risk factors for EDs among athletes from different sports (N = 357), with a special focus on football players. The Athlete's Eating Habits Questionnaire (CHAD) was used to establish intra-individual configurations through a multivariate k-means cluster analysis. We found that 10.9% of athletes and 11.4% of the footballers had scores on the CHAD ≥ 100 points, which indicates that a large number of athletes are at risk for developing or may already be suffering from an ED. Three configurations or risk profiles emerged based on the beliefs, attitudes and behaviours that reflect differential schemata for each cluster: high (8.7%), moderate (45.1%) and low (46.2%) risk. Football players had a profile that was similar to the moderate, though existent, risk cluster. Our findings also question the traditional classification of sports as high- vs. low-risk. Athletes, including footballers, may have a heightened risk for EDs when they have certain combinations of dysfunctional beliefs, attitudes and behaviours. Our findings indicate that it is important to consider relevant predisposing factors with the aims of risk detection and EDs prevention among athletes. The type of sport does not appear to be the most important risk factor. Los trastornos de la alimentación (TAs) son prevalentes en el ámbito deportivo. Aunque tradicionalmente se ha distinguido entre deportes de alto y bajo riesgo de TAs, trabajos recientes indican que los futbolistas y otros deportistas de "bajo" riesgo son tan vulnerables como otros atletas en cuya práctica deportiva se enfatiza el peso y la apariencia corporal. El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer si existen configuraciones particulares de características psicosociales de riesgo de TAs entre deportistas de diferentes modalidades deportivas (N = 357), con un interés especial en futbolistas. Se utilizó el Cuestionario de Hábitos Alimentarios del Deportista (CHAD) para establecer dichas configuraciones intraindividuales a través de un análisis multivariado de cluster de k-medias. Un 10.9% de los deportistas y un 11.4% de los futbolistas obtuvieron puntuaciones en el CHAD ≥ 100 puntos, lo que señala que un elevado número de deportistas puede desarrollar un TA a lo largo de su carrera deportiva, o lo puede estar padeciendo ya. Aparecieron tres configuraciones o perfiles de riesgo de TAs en virtud de las creencias, actitudes y comportamientos particulares que conforman un esquema diferencial en cada clúster: Alto (8.7%), moderado (45.1%) y bajo riesgo (46.2%). Los futbolistas muestran un perfil muy parecido al del clúster de riesgo moderado, aunque existente. Los hallazgos obtenidos también cuestionan las clasificaciones tradicionales de los deportes como de alto y bajo riesgo. Los deportistas, incluyendo los futbolistas, pueden tener un riesgo acentuado de padecer TAs si se dan ciertas combinaciones de creencias, actitudes y conductas disfuncionales. Nuestros resultados señalan la importancia, de cara al establecimiento del riesgo y la prevención de TAs en deportistas, de considerar factores predisponentes relevantes, entre los que el tipo de deporte parece no ser el más importante. Os transtornos alimentares (TAs) são prevalentes em esporte. Embora tradicionalmente uma distinção tem-se realizado entre esportes de alto e baixo risco de TAs, estudos recentes indicam que os futebolistas e outros atletas de risco "baixo" são tão vulneráveis como outros atletas em esportes onde o peso e aparência física são enfatizados. O objectivo deste estudo foi determinar se existem configurações particulares de fatores psicossociais de risco de TA em atletas de esportes diferentes (N = 357), com um interesse especial em jogadores de futebol. O Questionário de Hábitos Alimentares do Atleta (CHAD) foi utilizado para estabelecer configurações intra-individuais do risco através de uma análise multivariada de clusterização de K-médias. Encontramos que o 10.9% dos atletas e 11.4% dos jogadores de futebol tiveram pontuações no CHAD ≥ 100 pontos, o que indica que um grande número de atletas pode desenvolver um TA ao longo de sua carreira, ou ele já pode estar sofrendo un TA. Três configurações ou perfis de risco de TAs emergiram com base nas crenças, atitudes e comportamentos que reflectem um esquema diferencial determinado em cada grupo: alto (8.7%), moderado (45.1%) e baixo risco (46.2%). Os futebolitas mostraram um perfil semelhante ao cluster de risco moderado, embora existente. Nossos resultados questionam as classificações tradicionais de esportes como alto e baixo risco. Os atletas, incluindo os jogadores de futebol, podem ter um risco elevado de TAs se ocorrem determinadas combinações de crenças, atitudes e comportamentos disfuncionais. Nossos resultados indicam a importância para o estabelecimento do risco e prevenção de TAs em atletas do considerar fatores predisponentes relevantes. O tipo de esporte não parece ser o fator de risco mais importante.

[ES] El objetivo de esta actividad fue mostrar el caso real de un servicio público a través de su directora para explicar la importancia del análisis estratégico en la estrategia integral de una organización. En este caso, el Sistema de Gestión Medioambiental es un ejemplo perfecto, dada su transversalidad, para comprender la influencia que los grupos de interés tienen en la estrategia de la organización, cómo la influyen los factores internos y externos, y la necesaria flexibilidad que la misma estrategia de la organización precisa para adaptarse frecuentemente a los rápidos cambios que demanda la sociedad. Además, esta práctica nos permitió dar un ejemplo práctico sobre la búsqueda de los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible e incidir en la competencia transversal “responsabilidad medioambiental”., [EN] The aim of this activity was to show the real case of a public service by means of its manager in order to explain how important is the strategic analysis phase for the complete strategy of an organization. In this case, an Environmental Management System is a perfect example, due to its transversality, to understand how stakeholders are involved in the organization’s strategy, how internal and external factors can influence it, and the necessary flexibility that the organization’s strategy itself requires to be frequently adapted to the fast changes that society demands. Moreover, we can give an example of the sustainable development goals and to enhance the general competence “environmental responsibility”.

Resumen Introduccion y objetivos La enfermedad por coronavirus de 2019 (COVID-19) esta causada por el segundo coronavirus del sindrome respiratorio agudo y grave. La fibrilacion auricular (FA) es comun en situaciones agudas, en las que conlleva mas complicaciones y mortalidad. Metodos Analisis del Registro internacional HOPE (NCT04334291); el objetivo es evaluar la informacion pronostica de FA en pacientes con COVID-19. Se realizo un analisis multivariable y un emparejamiento por puntuacion de propension para evaluar la relacion entre FA y mortalidad. Ademas, se evaluo en estos pacientes el impacto en la mortalidad y los eventos embolicos de la puntuacion CHA2DS2-VASc. Resultados Entre los 6.217 pacientes inscritos en el registro HOPE, 250 tenian FA (4,5%). Los pacientes con FA tenian una mayor prevalencia de factores de riesgo cardiovascular y comorbilidades. Despues del emparejamiento por puntuacion de propension, estas diferencias se atenuaron. A pesar de ello, los pacientes con FA tuvieron una mayor incidencia de complicaciones hospitalarias como insuficiencia cardiaca (el 19,3 frente al 11,6%; p = 0,021) e insuficiencia respiratoria (el 75,9 frente al 62,3%; p = 0,002), asi como una mayor tasa de mortalidad a los 60 dias (el 43,4 frente al 30,9%; p = 0,005). En el analisis multivariado, la FA se asocio de manera independiente con una mayor mortalidad a los 60 dias (hazard ratio = 1,234; IC95%, 1,003-1,519). La puntuacion CHA2DS2-VASC predice de manera aceptable la mortalidad a los 60 dias de los pacientes con COVID-19 (area ROC = 0,748; IC95%, 0,733-0,764), pero no su riesgo embolico (area ROC = 0,411; IC95%, 0,147-0,675). Conclusiones La FA en pacientes con COVID-19 se asocia con mas complicaciones y mayor mortalidad a los 60 dias. La puntuacion CHA2DS2-VASc puede ser un buen marcador de riesgo en pacientes con COVID-19, pero no predice su riesgo embolico.

[EN] Practical training in the university environment, without attention to creativity and innovative thinking, is not very effective. For this reason, we have tried to find a new learning model, which focuses on the disciplines essential for the future, through an interdisciplinary approach. The use of tools such as Art Thinking and the search for new learning spaces, sometimes outside the classroom and in others transforming the classroom space itself into a ¿corner to dream¿, have allowed us to create a conducive climate to the development of creativity and to discover that the combination of technical training with skills associated with the artistic field, are positioned as the ideal way to train the professionals of the future. Thus, within the strategy of reaching professional competences, it is planned to work jointly and collaboratively between the creative, technological and management disciplines that coexist on the campus of the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia, in the implementation of new training spaces, which favor the acquisition of transversal competences and strengthen the teaching and learning process through visible and responsible learning by means of STEAM strategies., This work has been developed within the project Applying STEAM strategies in the Social Sciences and Arts areas by means of a Service-learning methodology, conducted by Professor María deMiguel-Molina, and with the support of the Universitat Politécnica de València (Science Education Institute, ICE). Moreover, this paper's authors belong to the team Reality baths: towards a visible, responsible and innovative learning, coordinated by Professor Virginia Santamarina-Campos.

[EN] This work presents the Innovation and Improvement Learning Project ¿Applying STEAM strategies in the Social Sciences and Arts areas by means of a Service-learning methodology¿ that aims to facilitate the acquisition of the Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths competences of Master students in the Universitat Politécnica de València (UPV) by means of a service-learning focus. An interdisciplinary group of seven lecturers work in an own model that latter could be also applied to other Master and Bachelor Programs. By now, we have developed a competence sheet for each STEAM competence that could be applied in any subject that would like to work on it. To achieve these competences by a holistic approach, we also relate them to the UPV transversal competences and to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The final objective is that any program could cover all the STEAM competences to add value to the students¿ learning. The first results show that, putting all these concepts together, we compel the students to propose creative solutions that could help organizations as well as individuals., This work has been developed within the project ¿Applying STEAM strategies in the Social Sciences and Arts areas by means of a Service-learning methodology¿, conducted by Professor María de Miguel Molina, and with the support of the Universitat Politécnica de València (Science Education Institute, ICE).

The aim of this historiographic research is to recover the facts and circumstances that surrounded Spanish boxing in the 1970s and the conditions that led Spain to decide not to participate in boxing in the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow. The semi-structured interview was used to recover information from eight oral sources and the documentary analysis was used to recover and contrast data from institutional and newspaper collections, also rescuing unpublished content from the personal archives of three boxers of the National Team of the period of study. At the end of the 1970s the economic resources of the Spanish Boxing Federation were reduced. This had consequences on the scholarships of the members of the National Team, on their personal circumstances and on their physical preparation. The older fighters left the national team and there were systematic defeats in the matches prior to the 1980 Games. The diffusion of negative news related to boxing in the press and the repudiation of a social sector towards this sport, were some other conditions for the Spanish boxing to suffer a great deterioration that affected in a local and national way the gyms and places used for its practice and diffusion. These were some of the reasons for the Federation to decide, weeks before the Olympic Games, that the selected fighters would not attend with the rest of the delegation. Those boxers suffered other consequences and external conditions, as a result added to their absence in an Olympic Games., El objetivo de esta investigación historiográfica es recuperar los hechos y circunstancias que envolvieron el boxeo español en la década de 1970 y los condicionantes para que España decidiera no participar en boxeo en los Juegos Olímpicos de Moscú en 1980. Se utilizó la entrevista semiestructurada para recuperar información de ocho fuentes orales y el análisis documental para recuperar y contrastar datos de fondos institucionales y hemerográficos, rescatando también contenidos inéditos del archivo personal de tres boxeadores de la Selección Nacional del periodo objeto de estudio. Al final de la década de 1970 la Federación Española de Boxeo vio disminuidos sus recursos económicos. Ello tuvo consecuencias en las becas de los miembros de la Selección Nacional, en sus circunstancias personales y en su preparación física. Los púgiles más veteranos abandonaron la selección y se produjeron sistemáticas derrotas en los encuentros previos a los Juegos de 1980. La difusión de noticias negativas relativas al boxeo en la prensa y la repudia de un sector social hacia este deporte, fueron algunos otros condicionantes para que el boxeo español sufriera un gran deterioro que afectara de manera local y nacional a los gimnasios y salas utilizadas para su práctica y difusión. Éstas fueron algunas de las causas para que semanas previas a la celebración de los citados Juegos Olímpicos la Federación decidiera que los púgiles seleccionados no asistieran con el resto de la delegación. Aquellos boxeadores sufrieron otras consecuencias y condicionantes ajenos, como resultado añadido a su ausencia en unos Juegos Olímpicos

[ES] El desarrollo de este trabajo pretende una aproximación al concepto de innovación minorista, desde un triple enfoque: innovación de producto, innovación en marketing e innovación relacional. Además, se examinan sus nexos con otros constructos que tradicionalmente han suscitado especial interés en la investigación en marketing, como la lealtad a la marca, el valor de marca y la satisfacción. Para ello, se delimita un modelo teórico que se contrasta mediante un análisis empírico fundamentado en una encuesta a una muestra de 510 clientes de tres formatos comerciales de alimentación —hipermercado, supermercado y tienda de descuento— en la provincia de Valencia. Con el objetivo de testar las relaciones propuestas en forma de hipótesis, los datos recogidos fueron analizados mediante el uso de la técnica de regresión por mínimos cuadrados parciales (PLS). Los resultados confirman el papel de la innovación como elemento dinamizador de la lealtad a la marca, potenciado por las TIC. Además, se observan efectos encadenados de la lealtad a la marca sobre el valor de marca, y de esta última variable sobre la satisfacción. Finalmente, las conclusiones derivadas orientan un conjunto de recomendaciones para la gestión, fundamentadas en los beneficios observados al desarrollar procesos de innovación en la gran distribución de alimentación. [EN] The development of this work aims at an approach to the concept of retail innovation, from a threefold approach: product innovation, marketing innovation and relational innovation. In addition, their links to other constructs that have traditionally sparked special interest in marketing research, such as brand loyalty, brand equity, and satisfaction, are examined. To do this, a theoretical model is delimited, which is contrasted through an empirical analysis based on a survey of a sample of 510 customers from three commercial grocery formats —hypermarket, supermarket and discount store— in the province of Valencia. In order to test the proposed relationships in the form of hypotheses, the data collected was analyzed using the partial least squares regression (PLS) technique. The results confirm the role of innovation as a driving force for brand loyalty, enhanced by ICT. In addition, there are chained effects of brand loyalty on brand equity and of this last variable on satisfaction. Finally, the derived conclusions guide a set of recommendations for management, based on the benefits observed when developing innovation processes in the largest grocery retailers.

Anthropic disturbances such as greenhouse gas emissions, polluting substances (degradable or recalcitrant) and suspended particles, generate environmental imbalances that alter, for example, the climate, biogeochemical cycles and the stability of the ecosystems (phenology of plant and animal populations, human and environmental health, dynamics of microbial populations, etc.). Obviously, everything has negative consequences for the human being. COP25 Chile met in December 2019 in Madrid, in order to remind us of the urgent need to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) defined in the UN 2030 Agenda and the Paris Climate agreement. In this paper, the three dialogues of the workshop “The Climate Summit and the Care of the Common House”, sponsored by the Pablo VI Foundation, are analyzed in deintail. Some concrete measures that the Catholic Church is already implementing are presented and its contribution as a resolution agent is recognized assuming that much remains to be done. Las perturbaciones antrópicas como emisiones de gases invernadero, sustancias contaminantes (degradables o recalcitrantes) y partículas en suspensión, generan desequilibrios ambientales que alteran, por ejemplo, el clima, los ciclos biogeoquímicos y la estabilidad de los ecosistemas en su conjunto (fenología de las poblaciones vegetales y animales, salud humana y ambiental, dinámica de las poblaciones microbianas, etc.). Obviamente, todo ello tiene consecuencias negativas para el ser humano. La COP25 Chile se reunió en diciembre de 2019 en Madrid con objeto de recordarnos la necesidad urgente de conseguir los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) definidos en la Agenda de la ONU 2030 y el acuerdo Climático de París. En el presente trabajo, se analizan en detalle los tres diálogos auspiciados por la Fundación Pablo VI que, en el marco de esta cumbre, se proponían en el encuentro “La Cumbre del Clima y el Cuidado de la Casa Común”. Se presentan algunas medidas concretas que la Iglesia Católica ya está implementando y se reconoce su contribución como agente de resolución asumiendo que todavía queda mucho por hacer.

En este artículo se analiza el significado de los títulos de las obras de teatro más representativas de la dramaturga española, directora y actriz Angélica Liddell. Basándonos en una metodología de estudio de caso se analizan algunos de los títulos comprendidos desde el año 1991 hasta el 2018 desde una perspectiva hermenéutica. Cada uno de los títulos es tomado como pequeñas unidades de información, siendo analizados y clasificados en cinco apartados principales (relaciones interpersonales, contexto sociopolítico, rebeldía, muerte y familia). Estas temáticas configuran el universo de la escritora y adquieren un lenguaje propio y dimensionado al margen del texto dramático que encabezan.

Esta tesis doctoral parte del planteamiento de la siguiente pregunta de investigación ¿La realización de ejercicios sustentados en el Teatro de la Crueldad y el Teatro Físico, permiten en el alumnado una mejor comprensión y valoración de conceptos artísticos propios del movimiento pictórico expresionista abstracto del siglo XX? Este movimiento, puede llegar a producir rechazo por la falta de actuaciones didáctico-prácticas en el ámbito educativo. Por este motivo, se propone como objetivo principal: crear mediante las dinámicas del Teatro de la Crueldad y el Teatro físico un canal comunicativo con las pinturas de Vasili Kandinsky (1866–1944), Mark Rothko (1903–1970) y Jackson Pollock (1912–1956). A su vez, de este objetivo se desprenden los siguientes objetivos secundarios: realizar un estudio preliminar sobre el origen del teatro y su evolución a lo largo de la historia, en torno a la temática del rito, lo primitivo y el teatro físico. Investigar las propuestas escénicas de Antonin Artaud, implícitas en su manifiesto El Teatro de la Crueldad. Examinar la pedagogía teatral de Jacques Lecoq, recogida en su libro El Cuerpo Poético. Indagar en la práctica del ritual con el fin de extraer ejercicios y actividades que completen la acción educativa del alumnado. Explorar la relación existente entre el color con las emociones humanas, el movimiento, la música y el sonido corporal. Trabajar sobre pinturas abstractas la relación expresivo corporal y musical, y, por último, elaborar una propuesta educativa que permita su implantación práctica en la enseñanza superior, destinada a futuros maestros y profesores. Para ello se ha realizado una búsqueda documental de fuentes bibliográficas sobre el origen del teatro y su evolución. Por otro lado, también se han tenido en cuenta las características de la pintura expresionista abstracta. Se ha utilizado una metodología cualitativa, de estudio de caso e investigación-acción de una muestra de 67 sujetos, procedentes de los grados de educación de las universidades de Murcia (España) y Évora (Portugal), así como de la Academia de Bellas Artes de Roma (Italia). Con ellos se ha realizado una serie de actividades para proporcionar una emoción, un movimiento, un sonido y una melodía al color. Lo que se traduce en un código para reinterpretar las pinturas propuestas. Las conclusiones que se obtienen indican que elementos propios del teatro físico como la expresión corporal, el rito o la improvisación, manifestados por Antonin Artaud y Jacques Lecoq en sus respectivas metodologías, pueden ser extrapolados al ámbito educativo como herramienta pedagógica y sirven para trabajar la comprensión de la pintura abstracta. De esta forma, el alumnado ejerce un rol activo y es capaz de desarrollar estrategias con significado artístico aumentando la interdisciplinariedad e hibridación de las artes contemporáneas. This doctoral thesis is based on the following research question: Do exercises based on the Theater of Cruelty and the Physical Theater allow students to better understand and evaluate the artistic concepts of the abstract expressionist painting movement of the 20th century? This movement may lead to rejection due to the lack of didactic-practical actions in the educational field. Therefore, the main aim is proposed “to create through the dynamics of the Theatre of Cruelty and Physical Theatre a communicative channel with paintings of Vasili Kandinsky (1866–1944), Mark Rothko (1903 –1970) and Jackson Pollock (1912–1956). In turn, the following secondary aims emerge from this objective: to carry out a preliminary study on the origin of theatre and its evolution throughout history, around the subject of rite, primitive and physical theatre. Investigate the stage proposals of Antonin Artaud, implicit in his manifesto The Theatre of Cruelty. Examine Jacques Lecoq's theatrical pedagogy, collected in his book The Poetic Body. Inquire into the practice of the ritual in order to extract exercises and activities that complete the educational action of the students. Explore the relationship between colour and human emotions, through physical theatre, music and body sound. To work on abstract paintings, the relationship between expressive body and music, and, finally, to elaborate an educational proposal that allows its practical implementation in higher education, for future teachers and professors. For this, a documentary search of bibliographic sources on the origin of the theatre and its evolution has been performed. In addition the characteristics of abstract expressionist painting have also been taken into account. A qualitative, case study and action research methodology was used on a sample of 67 subjects, from the education degrees of the universities of Murcia (Spain) and Évora (Portugal), as well as the Academy of Fine Arts from Rome (Italy). With them a series of activities were carried out to provide an emotion, a movement, a sound and a melody to the colour. All of which translates into a code to reinterpret the proposed paintings. The conclusions obtained indicate that elements typical of physical theatre such as ritual, improvisation, body language and sound, as advocated by Antonin Artaud and Jacques Lecoq in their respective methodologies, can be extrapolated to the educational field as a pedagogical tool and serve to work on understanding abstract painting. In this way, students take an active role and can develop strategies with artistic meaning, increasing the interdisciplinarity and hybridization of contemporary arts.

El inicio del boxeo femenino y su primer combate dentro de los eventos que constituyeron los Juegos de San Luis de 1904 se produjo a pesar de no contar con el beneplácito ni de Coubertin ni de otros sectores sociales médicos, que argumentaban los problemas de salud que los esfuerzos físicos excesivos podían implicar para las mujeres. Por otra parte, ciertos sectores del “cuarto poder” que ya comenzaba a ser la prensa, encontraban en las competiciones deportivas femeninas una fuente de titulares expuestos como esperpénticos para conseguir aumentar sus lectores. Era una oportunidad de ridiculizar y utilizar de mofa a las pocas deportistas que osaban iniciarse. Aquellos aspectos, al igual que los condicionantes relativos al rol social de las mujeres, determinaron un posicionamiento del Comité Olímpico Internacional que se prolongó durante un siglo, influyendo decisivamente en laincorporación tan tardía que la práctica del boxeo femenino ha experimentado en las estructuras deportivas. La evolución de los criterios del Movimiento Olímpico actual, al respecto del deporte de lasmujeres ha sido definitiva a partir de la labor de Juan Antonio Samaranch. AbstractThe beginning of feminine boxing and its first combat within the events that constituted the 1904 San Luis Games took place in spite of not having the approval of either Coubertin or other medical social sectors, who argued the health problems that excessive physical efforts could imply for women. On the other hand, certain sectors of the "fourth estate", which was already beginning to be the press, found inwomen's sports competitions a source of headlines that were exposed as bizarre in order to increase their readership. It was an opportunity to ridicule and make fun of the few athletes who dared to start. Those aspects, as well as the conditioning factors related to the social role of women, determined a position of the International Olympic Committee that lasted for a century, decisively influencing the late incorporation of the practice of female boxing into sports structures. The evolution of the criteria of the current Olympic Movement, with respect to women's sport, has been definitive since the work of Juan Antonio Samaranch.

[EN] Taxi service and private-hire driver companies (VTCs) offer their services through online platforms to cater for passenger demand yet there is a lack of studies as to who these passengers are, what their demands are and how to gain their loyalty over the next years. Based on a survey of taxi and VTC passengers in Spain, we have performed different qualitative and quantitative analyses to explore connections between loyalty and passengers' profiles, experience and values. The main result in terms of profile is that VTC passengers are more pricesensitive and less loyal than taxi passengers, who are less price-sensitive and more loyal. Regarding experience, loyalty to a taxi service centres on transparency and safety (trust), while in VTCs it revolves around quality and comfort. Finally, values are related to loyalty in the sense that passengers support the service they use most, but Corporate Social Responsibility does not influence a first choice. In terms of age, we observed that younger passengers are less loyal, more price-sensitive and more concerned with sustainability. This implies that these factors are worth to explore in other countries as they could drive the future of urban passenger transport. The results of this study show trends that could be of interest to researchers, companies and policymakers., This work has been carried out as part of the Prometeo Research Project for Excellence programme The regulation of digital transformation and the collaborative economy, conducted by Prof. Lorenzo Cotino Hueso and with the participation of Prof. María de Miguel, among others (PROMETEO/2017/064, Valencian Regional Government).

The present chapter explores the effect of behavior on reaching a successful aging. The chapter begins exploring the main protective factors that determine a healthy life style. Then, main models of behavioral change are outlined with special emphasis to the empirical support obtained by each of them and detailing a specific example of a behavioural change program carried out in older people. The chapter continues analysing the relationship between personality (i.e. conscientiousness) and behavioural change, giving a special dedication to the role played by conscientiousness. Finally the chapter explores the role of education as an important determinant for successful aging.
