EASYSPACE. Un espacio público empoderado desde la perspectiva sorda
CotutelaEl 5% de la población mundial experimenta, durante su vida, problemas auditivos, agravado por factores ambientales. Aproximadamente 70 millones de personas son clínicamente "sordas", pero la sordera sigue considerándose una discapacidad invisible, por la falta de signos exteriores visibles y por la creencia de que las personas sordas carecen de necesidades particulares.
En los espacios de uso colectivo, estas personas viven una situación de exclusión, con numerosas barreras físicas, tecnológicas y arquitectónicas. Los responsables políticos y los diseñadores han descuidado históricamente sus necesidades, negándoles una participación plena en la sociedad y generando injusticias socioespaciales. Esta investigación se centra en la comunidad Sorda signante y parte del estudio del DeafSpace project. Se realizó trabajo de campo que incluyó entrevistas en vídeo en Lengua de Señas Italiana, y un documento fílmico. Se evidenciaron y escenificaron las peores prácticas de uso del espacio urbano desde la perspectiva de las personas Sordas.About 5% of the world’s population experiences hearing loss at some point in their lives, often worsened by environmental factors. An estimated 70 million people are clinically deaf, yet deafness remains an “invisible” disability—lacking visible signs and often misunderstood as not requiring specific accommodations. In public spaces, Deaf individuals face exclusion due to numerous physical, technological, and architectural barriers. Policymakers and designers have historically neglected their needs, limiting their participation in society and contributing to spatial and social injustices. This research focuses on the signing Deaf community and draws on the principles of the DeafSpace Project. Fieldwork included video interviews conducted in Italian Sign Language and the creation of a short film. The project highlighted and staged some of the most exclusionary practices in urban space, as seen from the perspective of Deaf users.Programa de Doctorat en Tecnologies Industrials i Material
New insights into the end of Palaeolithic Cultures in Mediterranean Iberia: The Sauveterroid occupations of Coveta de la Foia (Vilafranca, Valencian Country)
Coveta de la Foia is an archaeological site located in Vilafranca (Castelló, Valencian region), where excavations have been ongoing since 2015. The documented archaeological sequence includes two occupations from the end of the Pleistocene: one Epimagdalenian and other Sauveterroid. This study focuses on the Sauveterroid level and examines its geoarchaeological characteristics, lithic industry (typology and technology), faunal remains and the spatial distribution of the materials.
It also contextualises these occupations within the Iberian Mediterranean and the Ebro Valley – the only regions on the Iberian Peninsula where this period is clearly represented. The scarcity of sites of this kind makes this study particularly significant, offering new insights into the industrial and economic characteristics of the period. The dates obtained confirm an early chronology for the Mediterranean Sauveterroid period, supporting previous research on its emergence at this time.Funding for open access charge: CRUE-Universitat Jaume
Design-based research in higher education: A systematic literature review between 2019 and 2023
Design-based research is a methodological approach that has been applied in the field of educational technology since the beginning of this century. The main aim of this article was to explore its use in the field of educational research, specifically in the context of higher education during the 5-year period from 2019 to 2023, coinciding with the COVID-19 pandemic and the technological efforts made in response to it. In the current work, 180 documents were analysed after a PRISMA selection procedure. Although the analysis covered documents from a variety of continents, Europe (n = 73) and America (n = 45) are the geographical areas that appear most frequently. Likewise, Social and Legal Science (n = 87) are the knowledge areas in which design-based research is most widely used, followed by Engineering and Architecture (n = 28) and Health Sciences (n = 21). In more qualitative terms, the findings of this work provide important information about the diverse use of this research approach, the data collection processes used and the quality criteria and design principles that appear explicitly in the documents analysed.

Gestión del Cuidado en Chile: tendencia de indicadores sensibles a enfermería y perspectivas gerenciales
Compendi d'articlesLa gestión del cuidado reconoce la autonomía de la enfermera en Chile. Objetivo: Estudiar la gestión del cuidado en la estructura hospitalaria chilena a través de la tendencia de indicadores sensibles a enfermería y de las perspectivas gerenciales de enfermeras. Se realizaron tres investigaciones cuantitativas sobre infecciones urinarias, torrente sanguíneo y lesiones por presión, analizando series temporales (2001-2019) en todas las regiones del país. Los datos provinieron de egresos hospitalarios. Se realiza análisis descriptivo, bivariante y modelos de regresión Prais-Winsten calculando el cambio porcentual anual. Paralelamente, se desarrolló una investigación cualitativa con enfermeras gerentes, aún en evaluación. El análisis cuantitativo muestra un aumento sostenido y significativo en los tres indicadores a lo largo del tiempo. Desde lo cualitativo, surgieron seis subcategorías que abordan los desafíos, procesos reflexivos y riesgos de la gestión del cuidado. Los resultados son preocupantes, se evidencia la necesidad de consolidar el cuidado mediante indicadores y estandarizaciónCare management in Chile, recognized since 1997, gave nurses a strategic role in the hospital structure, especially after the Health Reform of 2000. This thesis analyzed its influence through four studies. The first one evaluated the trend of catheter-associated urinary tract infections, showing an annual increase of 2%. The second examined bloodstream infections linked to central venous catheters, identifying a significant increasing trend at the national level. The third studied the prevalence of pressure ulcers, finding a year-on-year increase of 11.33%. Finally, the fourth, of a qualitative nature, explored the perceptions of nurse managers, highlighting challenges, risks and the need for standardization. Overall, the findings show a sustained increase in nursing-sensitive indicators, which demonstrates the importance of consolidating tools that strengthen the professional role and give greater visibility to care management in the hospital structure.Programa de Doctorat en Ciències de la Infermeri
Propuesta de gamificación en el módulo de Técnica Contable
Treball Final de Màster Universitari en Professor/a d'Educació Secundària Obligatòria i Batxillerat, Formació Professional i Ensenyaments d'Idiomes. Codi SAP229. Curs: 2024/2025El presente Trabajo de Fin de Máster de Formación al Profesorado, especialidad en Formación Profesional, desarrolla una propuesta de intervención basada en la gamificación, como metodología pedagógica innovadora que puede ofrecer múltiples ventajas.
La gamificación resulta un recurso lúdico-educativo con múltiples opciones para motivar al alumnado, de forma personalizada y caracterizada por la utilización de elementos propios de los juegos aplicados al ámbito educativo es capaz además de mejorar la actitud y reforzar la conducta a través de una experiencia lúdica. El objetivo principal de la propuesta de intervención es motivar al alumnado.
La educación, debe ser innovadora y motivadora, por lo tanto, debe evolucionar al ritmo que lo hace la sociedad y adaptarse al contexto social. El proyecto de gamificación se realiza mediante “La prueba monstruosa” realizada con la aplicación Lumio, que, previa explicación teórica, se utiliza como método de evaluación con recursos tecnológicos.This Master's Thesis on Teacher Training, specialising in Vocational Training, develops an intervention proposal based on gamification, as an innovative pedagogical methodology that can offer multiple advantages.
Gamification is a recreational-educational resource with multiple options to motivate students, in a personalised way and characterised by the use of elements typical of games applied to the educational environment. It is also capable of improving attitudes and reinforcing behaviour through a recreational experience. The main objective of the intervention proposal is to motivate students.
Education must be innovative and motivating, therefore, it must evolve at the same pace as society and adapt to the social context. The gamification project is carried out by means of ‘The Monstrous Test’ carried out with the Lumio application, which, after a theoretical explanation, is used as an evaluation method with technological resources
Metal complexes with naphthalene-diimide and perylene-diimide-based ligands: supramolecular interactions and catalytic implications
Compendi d'articlesThis doctoral thesis delves into the design and development of new ligand precursors and organometallic complexes through the combination of two different types of rylene-diimides (RDIs), with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-based ligands. The novelty and interest of the results described in this doctoral thesis can be summarized in the following three points: • We show that imide functionalization of PDI/NDIs with NHC units can be used as a way to generate redox-switchable ligands with application in homogeneous catalysis. • We describe how the catalytic properties of a simple metal complex can be reversibly modified by using tailored-designed redox-switchable rylene-decorated NHC ligands, thus offering a new and simple approach to modulate the catalytic activity and to elucidate or review reaction mechanisms. • We describe and fully characterize a new type of (chloride)lp– π interaction between the chloride ligands of the Ir(III) complex and the heterocycles of the NDI/PDI moieties combining spectroscopic/computational determination of the lp–π interaction.Programa de Doctorat en Cièncie
Neural and behavioural correlates of maladaptive emotion regulation in subclinical anxiety
Compendi d'articles, Doctorat internacionalMaladaptive emotion regulation is a major facet of anxiety disorders, contributing to their development and reinforcement of symptoms. However, we still lack understanding of how these phenomena are related to self-blaming emotions, sleep and monoaminergic neuromodulation of brain functions. The current thesis provided insights into maladaptive regulation of self-blaming emotions in subclinically anxious individuals, highlighting crucial contributions from the social semantic system in the superior anterior temporal lobes, particularly its guilt-dependent coupling with subgenual anterior cingulate cortex. The discussed frontal area additionally acted as a region connecting emotional dysregulation with poor sleep. The contributions of the monoaminergic systems were in turn present in the form of increased activity of the noradrenergic centers, and dysconnectivity of the dopaminergic areas with the fronto-parietal control network. Combined, the results of the thesis highlight the complex nature of anxiety disorders, pointing at the important interplay of semantic cognition, neuromodulatory processes and cognitive emotion regulation.Programa de Doctorat en Psicologi
Entre la inmersión en agua y la analgesia epidural: efectividad, seguridad y experiencia del nacimiento
Este estudio compara los efectos de la analgesia epidural (AE) y la inmersión en agua (WI) durante el parto en mujeres de riesgo bajo. Se analizaron 643 casos entre 2020 y 2023, evaluando intervenciones, duración del parto y resultados maternos y neonatales. Los resultados muestran que la WI, con un alto porcentaje de partos en el agua, se asocia a una mayor tasa de parto vaginal espontáneo, etapas del parto más cortas y mejores resultados neonatales, incluyendo menor necesidad de asistencia respiratoria y menor ingreso neonatal. También se observó una mayor tasa de lactancia materna exclusiva al alta y mayor satisfacción. La WI se presenta como una alternativa segura y beneficiosa para favorecer un parto fisiológico, con menos intervenciones médicas y experiencia positiva. Estos hallazgos respaldan su inclusión en la atención obstétrica, promoviendo decisiones informadas y mayor autonomía para las mujeres.This prospective observational study analyzed 643 low- to medium-risk women between 2020 and 2023, comparing birth outcomes according to the use of epidural analgesia (EA) or water immersion (WI). Process characteristics, interventions, and maternal and neonatal outcomes were evaluated, applying Propensity Score methods to reduce bias. In addition, birth experience was assessed using the Mackey Childbirth Satisfaction Rating Scale in 552 women. Among the 319 who opted for WI, 82.4% gave birth in water. Results showed that WI was associated with a higher likelihood of spontaneous vaginal birth, shorter first and second stages of labor, fewer interventions, lower rates of neonatal respiratory support, reduced neonatal admissions, and higher rates of exclusive breastfeeding at discharge, particularly among nulliparous women. Greater satisfaction was also observed across all evaluated dimensions. Water immersion is confirmed as a safe and effective option that supports physiological birth and enhances women’s positive birth experience.Programa de Doctorat en Ciències Biomèdiques i Salu
