El juicio verbal. La preparación del juicio y la posición respecto de la prueba documental
No full textLa Ley Orgánica 1/2025, de 2 de enero, de medidas en materia de eficiencia del Servicio Público de Justicia (en adelante LO 1/2025), ha dado una nueva redacción a los apartados 8, 9 y 10 del artículo 438 LEC. Ha modificado el juicio verbal introduciendo un trámite escrito previo a la vista que tiene la finalidad de proponer prueba y resolver sobre las cuestiones procesales que se hayan planteado. De facto lo que ha hecho es trasladar la audiencia previa del juicio ordinario al juicio verbal, pero de forma escrita y antes de la hipotética celebración de la vista.El antecedente de esta reforma es el proyecto de ley de medidas de eficiencia procesal al servicio público de justicia. En este se modificaba el juicio verbal, regulando este trámite escrito para resolver las cuestiones procesales, proponer y admitir la prueba. De esta forma completaba el cambio estructural del juicio verbal que se produjo en la reforma de la ley 42/20215 al sustituir la contestación oral por la escrita y la no celebración de vista.En este trabajo analizaremos las repercusiones prácticas de la introducción de este trámite escrito y su incidencia en la prueba documental
How do emerging leaders communicate implicitly? Measuring implicit traits
No full textLeaders play a fundamental role in the success of organizations; names like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, or Mark Zuckerberg are world renowned, and their fame illustrates the way in which one person's influence can exert tremendous impact on the outputs of any given enterprise. It is not surprising that leadership is one of the main research topics in organizational psychology, as the discipline preoccupies itself with the understanding of what makes a good leader, and how do we detect these attributes. A search for the topic in the Scopus database reveals publications that date back to the late 19th century, and that they have steadily increased in numbers particularly after the 1960s

Macrolitter contamination in beach, dune, and mangrove ecosystems on a Caribbean island: A comparative analysis
No full textLitter pollution is a global issue that threatens biodiversity and ecosystem services, especially on vulnerable islands. This study assesses and compares the abundance and composition of macrolitter, including plastic bottles, and identifies its sources across beach, dune, and mangrove ecosystems in Jamaica. The highest macrolitter abundance occurred on the beach (12 items m−2), followed by dune (4.3 items m−2) and mangrove (1.8 items m−2) ecosystems. Plastics dominated (83 %–99 %), with sizes ranging from 2.5 to 25 cm (91 %–99 % of the items), and most had lifetimes shorter than one year (60 %–82 %). Lightweight items easily transported by wind accumulated in the dune, while floating items carried by tides prevailed in beach and mangrove ecosystems, with similar plastic bottle abundances (0.3 items m−2). Result showed that the primary causes of macrolitter contamination in all three ecosystems are poor waste management and recreational activities. Whereas most (54 %–84 %) of the analyzed plastic bottles were produced in Jamaica, there were also bottles made in neighboring countries, such as the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Trinidad and Tobago, which are not sold locally. These foreign bottles were likely carried by currents from these countries or improperly disposed of by ships
Ordered Weighted Average Operators Into Deep Learning and Quantum Computing for Algorithmic Trading
No full textCrypto-assets have experienced significant growth in recent years, attracting substantial investments from institutional entities and individual investors alike. This surge in popularity necessitates sophisticated strategies to optimize returns. Concurrently, advancements in machine learning have revolutionized the forecasting of crypto-asset returns, facilitating algorithmic trading. Leveraging robust algorithms, this approach enables comprehensive market exploration and capitalizes on escalating computational capabilities. This manuscript presents a comparative analysis of neural networks, genetic algorithms, and fuzzy logic, framed within the Ordered Weighted Average (OWA) operator paradigm. These methods are integrated with deep learning and quantum computing principles to predict price movements in crypto-assets and other financial indices. Our findings indicate that the Quantum Genetic Algorithm excels in accurately forecasting asset price trends, while the Quantum Fuzzy Approach exhibits comparatively lower precision in predicting cryptocurrency price fluctuations. The empirical analysis employs high-frequency data sampled at 10-, 30-, and 60-minute intervals from October 2021 to February 2023. The dataset encompasses eleven cryptocurrencies (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum), ten Fan Tokens, ten NFTs, and nine reference financial indices (including Gold, WTI Oil, S&P 500, and Euro Stoxx 60). The implications of this research extend to the development of advanced algorithmic trading strategies, offering valuable tools for market participants and stakeholders in the financial sector. The methodologies discussed herein provide versatile and quantitative frameworks for analyzing diverse financial markets, highlighting their potential to enhance decision-making and improve investment outcomes
Farm to Fork: Strengths and Weaknesses of a European Strategy for a Global Transition towards Fair, Healthy and Sustainable Food Systems
No full textEuropean Union (EU) law on food products provides a consolidated and efficient framework for ensuring food that is safe, plentiful, nutritious and of high quality. However, on the one hand, food systems - including European ones - remain one of the main agents of climate change and of environmental degradation; and on the other hand, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for resilient food systems that ensure access to affordable and sufficient food on a global scale. The EU’s Farm to Fork Strategy aims to contribute to the global transition towards fair, healthy, and sustainable food systems and is also a component of the of the European Green Deal (EGD) and of the European agenda to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This chapter will examine the development of this strategy in its international dimension since it may have an extraterritorial character by requiring certain sustainable and healthy requirements for products of animal, forestry or plant origin from third countries if they want to enter the European market. This chapter therefore will deal specifically with the analysis of the scope and content, in legal terms, of the farm to fork strategy in its international dimension
How Dispersion Interactions at the Excited State Can Tune Photochromism of Embedded Chromophores
No full textWe present QM/MMPol-cLR3, a polarizable embedding quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) framework that includes explicit, state-specific dispersion terms. This method enables a rigorous treatment of dispersion on top of electrostatic and induction effects in ground- and excited-state calculations. Using QM/MMPol-cLR3, we show that dispersion interactions control excited-state solvatochromism through two distinct mechanisms. In azulene, opposite shifts of the La and Lb states arise from state-specific dispersion linked to changes in excited-state polarizability. In bacteriochlorophyll a, dispersion instead stems from the interplay between polarizability changes and transition-dipole-driven response, governing the Qy and Qx shifts. Finally, application to the LH2 complex reveals pigment-dependent dispersion shifts between the B800 and B850 rings, impacting the excitation-energy transfer. These results establish dispersion as an essential, nonempirical component for predictive excited-state simulations in complex environments
Nutritional and Metabolic Signatures in Pediatric Phenylketonuria and Hyperphenylalaninemia: Insights from Untargeted Urinary Metabolomics.
No full textDietary interventions are essential for managing phenylketonuria (PKU) and may influence metabolic regulation beyond phenylalanine control. We characterized the urinary metabolomic fingerprint of pediatric participants (n = 82) recruited into clinical phenotypes: PKU, PKU with response to tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), and hyperphenylalaninemia (HPA), as well as sex- and age-matched healthy children controls. Untargeted metabolomics (HPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) revealed 59 discriminant metabolites across multiple biochemical pathways, including phenylalanine, tryptophan, and caffeine metabolisms, as well as metabolites related to dietary exposure or gut microbial metabolism. Distinct urinary signatures were described across phenotypes. phenylalanine-related pathways predominated in PKU, accompanied by increased excretion of vitamin derivatives, consistent with protein substitute supplementation. In contrast, reduced levels of non-phenylalanine amino acid derivatives, methylhistidines, creatine, and branched-chain amino acid-related metabolites were observed in PKU, suggesting alterations in muscle metabolism or natural protein intake. Microbiota-derived metabolites were also less represented in PKU, indicating potential effects of dietary restrictions on gut-host metabolic interactions. HPA individuals showed a urinary fingerprint closer to controls, whereas the BH4 subgroup exhibited the greatest metabolic heterogeneity, reflecting variability in dietary and pharmacological treatment responses. These findings reveal metabolic diversity within the pediatric PKU spectrum driven by clinical phenotype and nutritional management. Urinary metabolomics may support more precise monitoring of metabolic health status and guide precision nutrition strategies in PKU and HPA from early life
