La virtualització del principi d’immediació en el procés penal: els judicis telemàtics i l’ús de la videoconferència
No full textIn this work, an investigation will be carried out on the reformulation of the principle of immediacy in
criminal proceedings as a result of the impact of new technologies in the judicial field. Specifically,
we will focus on the regulations adopted and on the use of digital media, such as videoconferencing,
to assess how this principle has had to be adapted to this new technological era. We will also focus on
the procedure that must be followed to correctly carry out a telematic trial and, subsequently, we will
explain the special cases regarding telematic presence and the exceptions to this intervention via
telematic means. Next, we will briefly mention the advantages and disadvantages of using these
digital tools in the criminal procedure and regarding the civil servants who work in the service of the
Administration of Justice. Finally, in the conclusions, a brief analysis will be made regarding the
issues addressed throughout the work and a response will be given to themEn el present treball es realitzarà una investigació sobre la reformulació del principi d’immediació en
el procés penal a conseqüència de l’impacte de les noves tecnologies en l’àmbit judicial. En concret,
ens centrarem en la normativa adoptada i en l’ús de mitjans digitals, com la videoconferència, per
valorar de quina manera s’ha hagut d’adaptar aquest principi a aquesta nova era tecnològica. També
ens focalitzarem en el procediment que s’ha de seguir per dur a terme correctament un judici telemàtic
i, posteriorment, exposarem els supòsits especials sobre la presència telemàtica i les excepcions a
aquesta intervenció per via telemàtica. Seguidament, mencionarem breument quins són els avantatges
i desavantatges d’utilitzar aquestes eines digitals en el procés penal respecte del procediment digital i
respecte als funcionaris que treballen al servei de l’Administració de Justícia. Finalment, a les
conclusions es farà una breu anàlisi respecte a les qüestions tractades durant tot el treball i es donarà
resposta a aquestes1
Crits sords, senyals invisibles: elaboració d'un instrument d'anàlisi, diagnòstic i detecció de joves en situació de soledat no desitjada des de la mirada del treball social
No full textEl present treball de final de grau (TFG) titulat Crits sords, senyals invisibles: Elaboració d’un instrument d’Anàlisi, Diagnòstic i detecció de joves en situació de soledat no desitjada des de la mirada del treball social, pretén visibilitzar i investigar sobre la soledat no desitjada en el col·lectiu de joves majors d’edat. La recerca es planteja dos objectius principals: d’una
banda, identificar les raons que porten els joves majors d’edat a patir situacions de soledat no desitjada; per altra banda, elaborar un instrument de diagnòstic que permeti la detecció i anàlisi de les situacions de soledat no desitjada en joves majors d’edat. Així doncs, mitjançant una metodologia mixta, s’ha pogut donar resposta als objectius plantejats, s’han
pogut abordar les preguntes de recerca i contrastar la hipòtesi formulada. Els resultats obtinguts han permès detectar factors causants de la soledat juvenil i redefinir una eina diagnòstica ja existent adaptant-la a la realitat actual. Aquest estudi contribueix a dotar professionals de l’àmbit social i en concret, de la disciplina del treball social d’un recurs útil per la detecció, la intervenció i acompanyament en casos de soledat no desitjada en jovesThis final degree project, entitled Deaf cries, invisible signals: Development of an instrument for analysis, diagnosis, and detection of young people in situations of unwanted loneliness from the perspective of social work, aims to investigate and draw attention to unwanted loneliness in the group of young adults. The research has two main purposes: one, to identify the reasons that lead young adults to suffer through situations of unwanted loneliness; the other, to develop a diagnostic instrument that allows the detection and
analysis of situations of unwanted loneliness in young adults. Therefore, through a mixed methodology, it has been possible to respond to the established aims, address the research questions, and contrast the hypothesis formulated. The results obtained have allowed us to
detect factors causing youth loneliness and redefine an existing diagnostic tool by adapting it to current reality. This study contributes to providing professionals in the social field, and specifically in the discipline of social work, with a useful resource for the detection, intervention, and support in cases of unwanted loneliness in young people

Three essays on the role of gender in risk perception and behaviour in tourism: compendium of publications
No full textENG- This doctoral thesis explores how risk perception and gender influence the choice of tourist destinations, especially in a world increasingly marked by health, political, and environmental uncertainties. It offers an approach by examining both traditional risks (such as health and insecurity) and emerging risks like climate change.
The research includes three studies: a bibliometric analysis reviewing scientific production on tourism, risk, and gender; a quantitative study of 428 young Catalans analysing how gender and travel companions affect risk perception; and an experiment with Generation Z using facial recognition technology to capture emotional responses to climate change stimuli.
Findings reveal that traveling with others, especially with male companions or in groups, increases the willingness to travel, and prior travel experience plays a key role, particularly for women. The study also shows that emotions and visual language strongly influence environmental risk perception, with climate change impacting women’s travel decisions more than men’s.
This thesis provides empirical evidence highlighting the importance of integrating gender perspectives and emotional factors into risk communication in tourism. It offers valuable insights for designing more effective marketing strategies, inclusive safety policies, and sustainable destination management—especially critical during times of crisisCAT- Aquesta tesi investiga com la percepció del risc i el gènere influeixen en l’elecció de destinacions turístiques, especialment en un món on les incerteses sanitàries, polítiques i ambientals són cada cop més presents. Es tracta d’un estudi que analitza tant riscos tradicionals (com salut i inseguretat) com riscos emergents, com el canvi climàtic.
El treball es basa en un compendi de tres articles: una anàlisi bibliomètrica que revisa la producció científica sobre turisme, risc i gènere; un estudi quantitatiu sobre 428 joves catalans que explora com el gènere i la companyia en el viatge afecten la percepció del risc; i un experiment amb la generació Z que utilitza reconeixement facial per captar respostes emocionals a estímuls relacionats amb el canvi climàtic.
Els resultats mostren que viatjar acompanyat, sobretot amb homes o en grup, augmenta la disposició a viatjar, i que l’experiència prèvia és clau, especialment per a les dones. També evidencien que les emocions i el llenguatge visual són poderosos per influir en la percepció del risc ambiental, amb un impacte més fort del canvi climàtic en les decisions de viatge de les dones.
Aquesta tesi aporta evidències que suggereixen la importància d’incorporar la perspectiva de gènere i les emocions en la comunicació de riscos turístics, per a desenvolupar estratègies de màrqueting i polítiques de seguretat més efectives i inclusives. Així mateix, ofereix claus per millorar la sostenibilitat i la gestió de les destinacions turístiques, especialment en contextos de crisiPrograma de Doctorat Interuniversitari en Turism
Electrochemical removal of antibiotics and multidrug-resistant bacteria using graphene- sponge electrodes
No full textENG- The widespread and misuse of antibiotics for decades in both veterinary and human consumption has led to their appearance in different aquatic environments at increasingly higher concentrations. These contaminants are persistent and therefore difficult to eliminate using conventional treatment technologies. Consequently, their constant presence generates an additional challenge: the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Many bacterial strains originally targeted by these drugs have developed resistance genes, leading to infections that are difficult to treat and contributing to what is now recognized as a “silent pandemic.”
Since these emerging contaminants pose a challenge for both advanced and conventional water treatment technologies, this doctoral thesis focuses on investigating the efficiency of electrooxidation processes for the removal of antibiotics and multidrug-resistant bacteria, both Gram-positive and Gram-negative, from aqueous solutions. The most widely used electrochemical oxidation treatments face notable limitations, including the high cost of electrode materials and the generation of highly toxic chlorinated by-products. Furthermore, a significant challenge hindering the broader adoption of electrochemical technologies for water treatment are the mass transport limitations and reduced energy efficiency when treating low-conductivity matricesCAT- L’ús abusiu d’antibiòtics, tant per al consum humà com veterinari, ha provocat l’aparició d’aquests contaminants en concentracions cada vegada més elevades en diferents medis aquàtics, com són llacs, rius i aigües subterrànies. Aquests contaminants són persistents i, per tant, difícils d’eliminar mitjançant tractaments convencionals. Com a conseqüència, la seva presència constant genera una problemàtica afegida: l’aparició de bacteris resistents als antibiòtics. Això implica que molts dels bacteris, per a l’eliminació de les quals es van dissenyar aquests fàrmacs, han desenvolupat gens propis de resistència, donant lloc a infeccions difícils de tractar i contribuint al que avui dia es coneix com una “pandèmia silenciosa”. Aquesta situació ha generat una gran preocupació en l’àmbit de la salut pública, ja que els bacteris resistents als antibiòtics (ARBs) i els seus gens de resistència (ARGs) es troben també presents en diverses matrius aquàtiques. Com que aquests contaminants emergents representen un repte tant per a les tecnologies convencionals de tractament d’aigua com per a les avançades, aquesta tesi doctoral es centra en investigar l’eficiència dels processos d’electrooxidació per a l’eliminació d’antibiòtics i de bacteris multiresistents (tant Gram-positius com Gram-negatius) en solucions aquoses.
Particularment, els tractaments d’oxidació electroquímica més utilitzats presenten certes limitacions, com els alts costos dels materials emprats per a la fabricació dels elèctrodes i la generació de subproductes clorats altament tòxics. A més, un altre desafiament important que en dificulta l’aplicació generalitzada són les limitacions en el transport de matèria i la disminució de l’eficiència energètica quan es treballa amb matrius de baixa conductivitatPrograma de Doctorat en Ciència i Tecnologia de l'Aigu

Fighting for the True Path of Revolution: The Communist Party of El Salvador (PCS) during the Sixties
No full textThe Salvadoran Communist Party (PCS) underwent great internal tensions throughout the 1960s, which led to its fracture at the end of the decade. Conventionally, these tensions have been explained as the result of internal differences related to the party’s position on the armed struggle. In contrast, this article shows that the internal dynamics of the party in this period can be explained by a series of disputes with a strong class component, which involved the two factions competing for the leadership of the organization. On the one hand, there was a workers’ faction in favor of proletarianizing the leadership of the party and deepening the class struggle through the work of the trade unions, and on the other, a sector of intellectuals that supported the political-electoral struggle, with the prospect of gradually accumulating forces. The reversal of the liberalization process experienced under the Salvadoran authoritarian regime since the early sixties, together with the party’s position on the war against Honduras, aggravated the internal contradictions of the organization, leading to its rupture in 197
Are youth justice educational groups in Catalonia empowering? The perceptions of families of young people who have committed crimes of child-to-parent violence
No full textIn Catalonia, child-to-parent violence is addressed through educational groups within the youth justice system. This study explores families’ perceptions of the effectiveness of these groups in supporting young people’s development and family dynamics. Five qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted with families of boys aged 17 to 19, four months after the young men had completed their stay in the judicial resource. An inductive-deductive categorical-thematic analysis was subsequently carried out, focusing on dimensions of youth empowerment (e.g., self-esteem, responsibility). Findings suggest that families perceived limited improvement in the youths’ skills, highlighting ongoing emotional instability, lack of self-criticism, weak commitment, and low community involvement. These results point to the need for an intervention model that is empowering, restorative, and inclusive in order to more effectively address child-to-parent violenc
Motiv-ARCHE: co-creation of augmented reality educational content to motivate cultural and natural heritage learning
No full textIn the past, sites such as museums or archaeological sites focused primarily on the preservation, maintenance, and conservation of heritage elements for present and future generations. However, they now face a new challenge, the lack of motivation and public engagement in visiting and creating content about the exhibited elements. This lack of interest is, since the content presented does not address the interests or needs of the visitors, leading to cognitive overload with irrelevant information. Therefore, various applications have shown that the use of immersive technologies, such as augmented reality (AR), along with content co-creation strategies and information adaptation, can enhance users’ motivation to visit these sites. Moreover, these technologies also contribute to the preservation and conservation of heritage through the creation of virtual content. This article describes the design and implementation of a system called Motiv-ARCHE for the co-creation of educational content about cultural and natural heritage using AR. Its name combines three key elements: Motiv, referring to the motivation for learning; AR, for the use of augmented reality; and CHE, because it focuses on the education of cultural and natural heritage. Motiv-ARCHE is a system that integrates immersive technologies, co-creation, and information adaptation to enhance motivation for learning about cultural and natural heritage. Moreover, it enables both experts and users to generate content without requiring advanced technical knowledge, and this content can be displayed through AR activation by image recognition and geographic location. The system also provides access to various media formats, such as audio, video, 3D models, and AR documents. Thanks to its design, which is oriented toward delivering adaptive services, it aims to provide the user with the information they need according to their characteristics and context, which could enrich their experience at heritage sites by considering both their individual characteristics and those of their context. This increases their motivation to visit these sites and to learn about the heritage they contain. The development of Motiv-ARCHE follows the Design-Based Research (DBR) methodology, an iterative approach divided into three phases: design, implementation, and analysis. In the design phases, the characteristics of Motiv-ARCHE are identified based on the literature and user feedback. During the implementation phases, the core functionalities are developed and some experiments are conducted focusing on the co-creation of heritage elements, content, and routes, as well as on access to this content and in the analysis phases, each experiment is evaluated to improve the system. The article describes three co-creation experiments with 48, 16 and 8 participants respectively and one access experiment with 44 participants. In the three co-creation experiments, the IMMS (Instructional Materials Motivation Survey) motivation test and a demographic questionnaire were applied, while in the access experiment, the IMMS motivation test, the ARAM (Augmented Reality Acceptance Model) technology acceptance test, an augmented reality activation questionnaire, and a demographic questionnaire were used. The results showed that, thanks to the use of the methodology in the first experiment and the feedback provided by users, the application progressively improved, achieving better results in subsequent experiments. Furthermore, it was found that users feel motivated both in the co-creation of heritage elements, content, and routes, and in accessing content through AR
Els límits planetaris, les entitats noves i la biodiversitat. Una revisió sistemàtica del cas del glifosat
No full textThis analysis focuses on the convergence of two planetary boundaries that have already been clearly exceeded: Biosphere Integrity and Novel 3. Glyphosate was selected as a paradigmatic case for this study, given its widespread global use as an herbicide. Employing the SALSA methodology, a systematic review of 191 scientific publications was conducted, revealing notable growth in publications related to this topic, especially since 2015, which coincides with the update of the planetary boundaries framework. The findings indicate a strong concentration of studies in Northern Hemisphere countries, such as Canada and the USA, while tropical ecosystems are scarcely represented. From a thematic perspective, 45% of the studies focus on biodiversity effects, yet only a small percentage (just 3.7%) directly link glyphosate with the planetary boundaries framework. Additionally, there is a methodological bias towards field studies, with a taxonomic emphasis mainly on flora and arthropods. The conceptual analysis of the study identified four main pathways of environmental impact caused by glyphosate: effects on pollinators, toxicity in aquatic environments, alteration of soil microbiota, and damage to non-target vegetation. These impacts, often potentiated by synergistic effects, generate negative feedbacks that endanger biosphere integrity, reinforcing the conclusion that glyphosate acts as a novel entity capable of severely destabilizing global ecological balance by impacting and reducing biodiversity131
