Portability of Predictive Academic Performance Models: An Empirical Sensitivity Analysis
No full textArtículos en revistas-The portability of predictive models of academic performance has been widely studied in the field of learning platforms, but there are few studies in which the results of previous evaluations are used as factors. The aim of this work was to analyze portability precisely in this context, where preceding performance is used as a key predictor. Through a study designed to control the main confounding factors, the results of 170 students evaluated over two academic years were analyzed, developing various predictive models for a base group (BG) of 39 students. After the four best models were selected, they were validated using different statistical techniques. Finally, these models were ap-plied to the remaining groups, controlling the number of different factors with respect to the BG. The results show that the models’ performance varies consistently with what was expected: as they move away from the BG (fewer common characteristics), the specificity of the four models tends to decrease.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Psychological intervention to promote forgiveness (REACH-FoR) to work with refugee populations: adaptation and validation
No full textDespués de injusticias y agresiones, la personas tienen dos tendencias principales de respuesta: la venganza o la evitación. En ambos casos las personas se enfrentan a muchas dificultades en la recuperación tras el conflicto. La psicología ha estado estudiando durante las últimas décadas una tercera respuesta posible: el perdón. Lejos de renunciar a la búsqueda de justicia, es una manera de allanar el camino para construir una nueva vida que no esté arraigada en el odio o el miedo, y para poder caminar reconciliado con las experiencias traumáticas de la vida.
A partir de este enfoque elegimos la intervención REACH para promover el perdón (Worthington, 2007) y la adaptamos para refugiados y solicitantes de asilo a través de una investigación basada en la participación de la comunidad refugiada para identificar las cuestiones pertinentes que deberían tenerse en cuenta a la hora de llevar a cabo esta intervención.After injustices and aggressions, people have two major trends of response: revenge or avoidance. In both cases people face many difficulties in recovery. Psychology has been studying for the last few decades a third possible response: forgiveness. Far from giving up the search for justice, it is a way to pave the path to build a new life that is not rooted in hatred or fear, and to be able to walk reconciled with life experiences.
From this approach we chose the REACH intervention to promote forgiveness (Worthington, 2007) and adapted it for refugees and asylum seekers through a Community-based participatory research counting on the refugee community expertise to identify relevant issues that should be considered when delivering this intervention.info:eu-repo/semantics/draf
La acción colectiva en defensa de los consumidores y la competencia judicial internacional de los tribunales españoles
No full textPrograma de Doctorado en Derecho Económico y de la EmpresaLa presente tesis doctoral se divide en dos partes. La primera examina el sistema de acción colectiva para la protección de los consumidores existente en España y la segunda aborda los aspectos de competencia judicial internacional (CJI) en materia de tutela colectiva. Ambas partes mantienen una línea de análisis común: el interés de los consumidores que se pretende proteger mediante este instrumento. En la primera parte, se estudia el procedimiento de tutela colectiva de consumidores al completo, mencionando los aspectos transfronterizos cuando es necesario, pero centrándonos en los elementos sustantivos y procesales nacionales más relevantes. Se aborda tanto el Derecho vigente como el proyectado con un amplio análisis de la jurisprudencia existente sobre este particular. En la segunda parte, analizamos la CJI en tres niveles: las reglas de CJI contenidas en normas convencionales, el Derecho de la Unión Europea y las normas de Derecho internacional privado de producción interna. Se realiza un estudio particularmente extenso, por su relevancia y aplicación, del Derecho de la Unión Europea y, en concreto, de los aspectos de calificación de la acción colectiva por parte del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea, así como el acomodo de la acción colectiva en los distintos foros de competencia: especiales, de protección y general. Se realiza el mismo análisis en sede de las normas de producción interna.This doctoral thesis is divided into two parts. The first examines the system of collective redress mechanisms for consumer protection existing in Spain, and the second deals with the aspects of international jurisdiction (IJ) in matters of collective redress. Both parts maintain a common line of analysis: the interest of consumers that this instrument is intended to protect. In the first part, the procedure for collective consumer protection is entirely analyzed, mentioning the cross-border aspects when necessary, but focusing on the most relevant national substantive and procedural elements. Both existing and proposed law are addressed with a broad analysis of existing case law in this area. In the second part, we study the IJ at three levels: the IJ rules contained in conventional rules, European Union law and internally produced private international law rules. A particularly extensive study is carried out, due to its relevance and application, of European Union law and, specifically, of the aspects of the qualification of the collective action by the Court of Justice of the European Union, as well as the accommodation of collective redress in the different forums of jurisdiction: special, protective and general. The same analysis is carried out on the basis of internal Private international law rules
Degradación del medio ambiente y pandemias. Perspectivas para el diálogo entre la Teología y la Biología de la Conservación
Full text linkArtículos en revistasLa pandemia de Covid-19 ha evidenciado hasta qué punto somos parte de la biosfera y compartimos con ella un destino común. En este contexto, el presente artículo explora, a partir del nivel de conocimiento actual, cómo la “salud humana” está relacionada con la “salud de la naturaleza”, profundizando en el concepto “One health” (Una salud), cada vez más consolidado en ámbitos de reflexión y decisión. A partir del concepto “One health”, y recogiendo la invitación del Magisterio de Francisco, profundizamos en la mutua interpelación y diálogo entre la Biología de la Conservación y la Teología. Disciplinas que, desde sus respectivas metodologías, pretenden ir más allá del estudio y la reflexión para preservar nuestra única casa común.The Covid-19 pandemic has shown our profound interdependence with the biosphere and our shared common destiny. In this context, the present article explores, from the current level of knowledge, how “human health” is deeply related to “nature's health”, building on the emerging “One health” concept. The interdisciplinary character of the “One health” perspective, and the invitation of Pope Francis to engage in a meaningful cultural dialogue, makes a compelling case for a shared inquiry between conservation biologists and theologians. We argue that both disciplines aim at preserving our only common homeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Covid19 as a trigger for new ways of internationalizing teaching Operations Management
No full textCapítulos en librosDuring the last decades there is an interest in internationalizing Higher Education (HE), and many initiatives are taken in and out of campus. Covid19 pandemic has impacted globally in all sectors, being HE one of them: restriction of exchange options for students and professors, limited presence courses, etc. Thus, Covid19 pandemic has become a trigger to find new ways to continue internationalizing HE.
This paper presents the case study of an internationalization initiative on teaching Operations Management in a master program, consisting of a group project to study operations location decisions, involving students from three countries: Spain, China and Indonesia. Learning objectives were established based on lessons learned in Operations as well as in intercultural experiences. Surveys with participants have been conducted to evaluate the learning outcomes. Findings reveal that: (i) students considered the experience as highly positive; (ii) intercultural experience started as a non-evident challenge and ended as an added value activity; (iii) it allowed them to acquire some competences that are appreciated by the labour market; (iv) key success factors were identified; and (v) proposals for improvement were provided.During the last decades there is an interest in internationalizing Higher Education (HE), and many initiatives are taken in and out of campus.

Influence of the Spatial Heterogeneities in the existence of positive solutions of Logistic BVPs with sublinear mixed boundary conditions
Full text linkArtículos en revistasEn este artículo se analiza la influencia de las heterogeneidades espaciales en la existencia de soluciones positivas de problemas logísticos con condiciones de contorno heterogéneas de tipo sublineal. Se demuestra que la posición relativa entre los dominios de anulación del potencial del término de reacción en la ecuación en derivadas parciales, y el potencial frente a la no linealidad de la condición de contorno, juega un papel fundamental en cuanto a la amplitud del rango de valores del parámetro de bifurcación para los que el problema posee soluciones positivas. Se compararán los casos del problema logístico con condiciones de contorno lineales y no lineales. Finalmente se obtendrá la estructura del diagrama global de bifurcación a soluciones positivas del problema logístico con condiciones de contorno no lineales heterogéneas, considerando la amplitud de la nolinealidad en las condiciones de contorno como parámetro de continuación-bifurcación.In this paper we analyze the influence of the spatial heterogeneities in the existence of positive solutions of Logistic problems with heterogeneous sublinear boundary conditions. We will show that the relative positions of the vanishing sets of the potentials in front of the nonlinearities in the partial differential equation and on the boundary conditions, play a crucial role as for the amplitude of the range of values of the bifurcation parameter for which the problems possess positive solutions. We will compare the cases of the logistic problem with linear and nonlinear boundary conditions. Also, we will show the global bifurcation diagram of positive solutions of the logistic problem with heterogeneous nonlinear boundary conditions , considering the amplitude of the nonlinearity in the boundary conditions as bifurcation-continuation parameter.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
