Mood alternation with adverbs of uncertainty in Galician: a multifactorial analysis
Get PDFThis study investigates the factors that significantly constrain mood selection in Galician within uncertainty adverb constructions, applying a logistic regression model. This analysis identified several significant factors affecting the choice between the indicative and subjunctive moods, including the temporal context of the clause, the preceding adverb, and the interaction of fictional and nonfictional registers with the verb type of the predicate and the gender of the speaker/writer. Time reference and the preceding adverb emerged as primary factors conditioning mood choice, with present and future time frames and adverbs encoding weaker epistemic values significantly predisposing toward the subjunctive mood. This study also highlighted the influence of the gender of the speaker/writer, demonstrating the preference of women toward the indicative mood in fictional texts. Verb type and register interact in complex ways that only partially align with previous findings. The results of the present study contribute to a deeper understanding of syntactic variation in Galician, adding to a growing body of quantitative research on Galician grammar.S
Search for violation of leptonic universality in semileptonic decays of strange particles in LHCb
No full textTheoretical studies have demonstrated that Semileptonic
Hyperon Decays (SHD) can be sensitive to Beyond the
Standard Model dynamics that break leptonic flavour
universality (LFU). The LFU test observable defined as the ratio
between muon and electron modes is sensitive to non standard
scalar and tensor contributions. Moreover there is a
precise SM theoretical prediction.
Λ -> p μ ν was proposed as one of the most promising SHD to
be studied at LHCb, due to its high acceptance efficiency
and abundance in LHCb events. In addition, the electron mode
has already been measured precisely and an
improvement in the measurement of the BR directly translates
into tighter bounds in LFU in s-u quark transitions.
In this thesis is presented the blinded measurement of the
branching fraction and its consequences
Ethical-environmental urgency: eco-animalist pedagogies and training of education professionals
Get PDFEl antropocentrismo, la falta de una ética animal y la situación planetaria actual requieren
de la implantación de medidas urgentes para afrontar las problemáticas que arremeten
contra la sociedad. Se considera que ante tesituras tan arduas, la educación es el camino más
efectivo, y por ello, se plantea la necesidad de implantar las pedagogías ecoanimalistas en la
formación de las y los profesionales de la educación, para conferir solución a estas
situaciones. El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar la presencia de la formación en
pedagogías ecoanimalistas y en educación ambiental en los planes de formación inicial y
permanente del profesorado y otras/os profesionales de la educación de Galicia. Para ello
se han revisado las materias impartidas en los grados universitarios para la formación de
maestras/os, pedagogas/os y educadoras/es sociales, además de los másteres universitarios
que habilitan al profesorado de educación secundaria en las tres universidades gallegas. Los
resultados muestran una ausencia de contenidos vinculados a las pedagogías ecoanimalistas
y una carencia formativa en relación a la educación ambiental, más presente en los
programas educativos, pero insuficiente. Finalmente, se reitera la necesidad de promover
las pedagogías ecoanimalistas en la formación del profesorado y demás profesionales del
ámbito educativoAnthropocentrism, the lack of animal ethics and the current planetary situation require the
implementation of urgent measures to face the problems that attack society. It is considered
that in the face of such arduous situations, education is the most effective path, and
therefore, the need to implement eco-animalist pedagogies in the training of education
professionals is raised, to provide a solution to these situations. The objective of this
research is to analyze the presence of training in eco-animalist pedagogies in the initial and
permanent training plans of teachers and other education professionals in Galicia. For this,
the subjects taught in the university degrees for the training of teachers, pedagogues and
social educators have been reviewed, in addition to the university master's degrees that
enable secondary education teachers in the three Galician universities. The results show a
total absence of content linked to eco-animalist pedagogies and a lack of training in relation
to environmental education, more present in educational programs, but insufficient. Finally,
the need to promote eco-animalist pedagogies in the training of teachers and other
professionals in the educational field is reiteratedS
Misuse of Linear Regression Technique in Analytical Chemistry?
Get PDFNowadays, frontiers among different sciences are revealed as diffuse, and as a consequence, research must necessarily
be faced from an interdisciplinary approach. Similarly, teaching certain topics in Chemistry requires the consideration of
developments in other sciences (Mathematics, Biology, Physics, etc.). For instance, the estimation of the parameters of calibration
lines in Analytical Chemistry (via linear regression) exemplifies this mandatory interaction since the comprehension of the regression
tools should also consider how estimation is regarded from a statistical perspective. This work focuses on how to overcome the
contradictions that undergraduate Chemistry students may encounter between the chemists’ and statisticians’ perspectives, when
they are lectured on least-squares linear regression. A mixed analytical chemistry−statistics approach is proposed to present a
method to get over the discordant issues between both scientific viewpoints.This work is a consequence of the questions formulated three years ago by our undergraduate Chemistry student Ms. Lourdes Patricia Sanmiguel Vázquez, whose inspiring interest is gratefully thanked.

Concentration of Migrant Students in Santiago (Chile) and Institutional Discourses: Differences with the Spanish Case
Get PDFEn el contexto de un creciente incremento de población migrante en Chile, analizamos la desigual distribución y problemática incorporación de este alumnado en escuelas de Santiago, donde el fenómeno de la segregación escolar alcanza mayor magnitud. Mediante una metodología de análisis mixta –cuantitativa, geográfica y cualitativa– presentamos una radiografía de la concentración escolar en el “Gran Santiago”, calculada a través de indicadores de segregación, y llevamos a cabo un análisis discursivo mediante entrevistas a responsables de centros de alta concentración (CAC) sobre las razones de esta concentración. Finalmente, comparamos los resultados con un estudio de caso similar llevado a cabo en España. Los resultados apuntan, en primer lugar, a unos niveles de segregación muy elevados y heterogéneos en la capital chilena; en segundo lugar, a una localización desigual de las escuelas en el territorio, que dibuja y reproduce niveles de concentración escolar desiguales por comuna; en tercer lugar, aparecen CAC encargados de la escolarización de alumnado migrante que reproducen dinámicas de concentración escolar institucionalizada. La discusión de resultados en clave comparada sugiere diferencias en la concepción de la concentración escolar, más normativizada, funcional y aceptada en el caso chileno, probablemente como resultado de lógicas de mercado educativo más arraigadas.In the context of a growing increase in the migrant population in Chile, we analyze the uneven distribution and problematic incorporation of these students in schools of Santiago, where the segregation reaches its greatest magnitude. Through a mixed methods analysis –quantitative, geographical and qualitative– we present a picture of the school concentration in “Greater Santiago” calculated through indicators of segregation, and a discursive analysis of heads of high-concentration schools (CAC) about the reasons for this concentration. Finally, we compare the results with a similar case study carried out in Spain. The results point, firstly, to very high and heterogeneous levels of segregation in the Chilean capital; secondly, to an unequal location of schools in the territory, which draws and reproduces unequal levels of school concentration by district; thirdly, there are CACs in charge of the schooling of migrant students that reproduce dynamics of institutionalized school concentration. The discussion of comparative results suggests differences in the conception of school concentration, more standardized, functional and accepted in the Chilean case, probably as a result of more deeply rooted educational market logics.Este trabajo procede de la Tesis Doctoral que recibió el Premio Enrique Fuentes Quintana de Funcas – Categoría de Ciencias Políticas, Sociología y Comunicación – Convocatoria 2020-2021.

Emotional competence profile in secondary school counselors: controversy or need?
Get PDFIt is out of doubt that little attention is paid to the emotional competences of
secondary school counselors in research activity, as well as in their initial and
ongoing training. It seems that emotional well-being is still a pending issue that
may even generate some controversy, even though, today, it is defined as a
clear strategy in mental health plans. Undoubtedly, we are facing a content that
facilitates the contrast of points of view and social commitment as an inherent
part of the democratic process. Therefore, it was decided to carry out a study, of
enormous relevance, with the purpose of knowing the perceptions of secondary
school counselors within the Autonomous Community of Galicia regarding
emotional competences for an ideal counseling practice in complex times and
moments with great challenges in the field of educational equity. Specifically,
an evaluation study was carried out on the level of training received by school
counselors in emotional competences and thus be able to have a diagnosis,
identifying possible strengths and weaknesses. A study with a quantitative based
methodology which uses the questionnaire for data collection as a main research
technique. The findings obtained suggest that the quality of the teaching and
learning processes in secondary schools would be substantially improved if the
emotional competence profile of the counselors was considered. In particular,
the interest that emotional competences arouse in counselors is confirmed, at
the same time, they recognize that they can help them properly to manage the
relationship processes and, the personal balance. This research, one of the first
carried out in Galicia on emotional competences in secondary school counselors,
provides empirical data of great interest for future training plans that are more in
line with social and professional expectations, since it provides an x-ray unique,
revealing, valid and real statement of the state of the matter.S
Water and waste management strategies as drivers of the financial performance of food companies
Get PDFEnvironmental degradation and resource overuse can affect business operations. Sustainable development is therefore a global economic priority. Food companies must develop strategies to ensure food security and seek business models to provide economic, social, and environmental benefits. This paper presents the combinations of water and waste management practices (water efficiency targets, water consumption ratio, water intensity ratio, waste recycling ratio, and waste intensity ratio) that lead to an overvaluation of food companies in the stock market (Tobin's Q > 1). These combinations of practices were identified using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) of a global sample of 61 listed companies from the food production sector. No necessary conditions were found for the outcome of a Tobin's Q >1. In contrast, the sufficiency analysis revealed five sufficient configurations for overvaluation. The presence of significant recycling and waste reuse performance and the absence of a strong intensity of water withdrawal and waste production are key conditions to achieve the presence of the outcome. The findings provide useful insights for managers, who can focus their business strategies on sustainable and efficient water and waste management to support high financial performance. The findings can also help investors in their decision making.S
Adaptation and Validation of the Hooked on Nicotine Checklist (HONC) with Spanish Adolescents
Get PDFIntroduction
The expansion of new tobacco consumption formats and electronic vapor products threatens to reverse the trend of declining smoking rates that had been observed among younger people in recent decades. Early detection in the health sector requires screening tools that have been adapted and validated in our context. This study aims to translate, culturally adapt, pilot and empirically validate the Hooked on Nicotine Checklist (HONC) with Spanish adolescents.
Methods
The process of translation and cultural adaptation included the following stages: direct translation, synthesis of translations, back translation, consolidation with a committee of experts and pre-test, along with a cognitive interview, which served as pilot testing. Empirical validation was conducted with a sample of 1027 adolescents aged between 12 and 18 (M = 15.40; SD = 1.638).
Results
The results obtained confirm that the HONC is a brief, clear and easy-to-understand tool, with appropriate psychometric properties. A Cronbach's alpha value of 0.90 was obtained. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV indices reached values of 0.56, 0.94, 0.79 and 0.83, respectively. Cut-off point 1 is the one reaching the best balance between the two values. CFA showed a model good overall fit.
Conclusion
This study makes the Spanish version of the HONC available to researchers and clinicians, so that it can be used with sufficient psychometric guarantees.S
