Effects of employee´s incentives on european firm's eco-innovation

La Responsabilidad Social Corporativa (RSC) se ha considerado una fuente de ventaja competitiva para las empresas a lo largo de los años no solo financieramente, sino social y ambientalmente. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo estudiar la relación entre los incentivos proporcionados a los empleados a través de prácticas RH/RSC y la eco-innovación de las empresas europeas, enfocándose en la dimensión social interna de la RSC. Este estudio considera incentivos pecuniarios, no pecuniarios y su efecto sinérgico en la eco-innovación en una muestra de 1076 empresas europeas. Esta investigación analiza los datos de estos incentivos y su evolución en cuatro zonas geográficas (Europa del Sur, Europa Occidental, Europa del Norte y Europa del Este) en el periodo que abarca los años entre 2017 y 2021. Utilizando modelos de regresión para probar las hipótesis planteadas, hay evidencia de un efecto positivo de los incentivos pecuniarios y no pecuniarios en la eco-innovación, no obstante, el efecto complementario de ambos muestra un impacto negativo en las capacidades de innovación empresariales.Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been proven to be a source for competitive advantage for businesses over the years not only financially, but social and environmentally. This paper aims to study the relationship between incentives provided to employees through HR/CSR practices and the eco-innovation of European firms, by focusing on the internal social dimension of CSR. This study considers pecuniary, non-pecuniary incentives and their synergic effect on eco-innovation on a sample of 1076 European firms. This research analyzes the data of these incentives and their evolution in four geographical zones (Southern, Western, Northern and Eastern Europe) in the period covering the years between 2017 and 2021. Using regression models to test the hypotheses raised, there is evidence of a positive effect of pecuniary and non-pecuniary incentives on eco-innovation, but the complementary effect of both shows a negative impact on firm´s innovation capabilities.Graduado o Graduada en Administración y Dirección de Empresas por la Universidad Pública de Navarra (Programa Internacional)Enpresen Administrazio eta Zuzendaritzan Graduatua Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoan (Nazioarteko Programa

Diversidad lgbtq+ a través de la literatura infantil

ABSTRACT The main objective of my Final Degree Project is to research how to improve queer inclusion in our classes, using children’s literature as the main resource, taking into account current challenges for the LGBTQ+ community. Considering the results of the study, I created a didactic proposal to implement in the English classroom that improves LGBTQ+ representation and support. This proposal further develops second language skills through fun, interactive and engaging methodologies and activities, designed for the first year of Primary Education in SpainEl objetivo principal de mi Trabajo de Fin de Grado es investigar cómo mejorar la inclusión queer en nuestras clases, utilizando la literatura infantil como recurso principal, teniendo en cuenta los retos actuales para la comunidad LGBTQ+. Considerando los resultados del estudio, he creado una propuesta didáctica para el aula de inglés que mejora la representación del colectivo LGBTQ+ y lo apoya. Esta propuesta ayuda a mejorar las habilidades en una segunda lengua con metodologías y actividades divertidas, interactivas e interesantes, diseñadas para primero de Educación Primaria en España.

Comparative Analysis of Multilevel Converters for Medium-Voltage Applications

The electric energy demand has been steadily growing during the last century, and all forecasts indicate that it will keep growing in the following years. Within this frame, and due to all the problems that this demand increase generate in the environment, it is necessary improving the current techniques of electric energy conversion and transmission in order to increase the whole system efficiency. On the other hand, it is also necessary increasing the renewable energy resources exploitation through more efficient generation systems. According to these lines, the power electronics systems that have been installed in the last decades allowed to obtain better efficiency from the renewable natural resources like the wind or the solar power. These systems have also notably improved the quality of the power supplied, reducing the losses through what are known as power quality applications. Power converters are currently essential in any power electronics system. Within them, the multilevel converters specially suppose a breakthrough compared with the classical two level converters, as they allow obtaining voltage and current signals with lower harmonic content, what means fewer losses in high power medium voltage applications. In this Thesis a comparative study of some multilevel converter topologies normally used in high power medium voltage applications is done. The objective is analyzing in detail each topology and comparing it with the rest following different criteria, with the aim to know the advantages and drawbacks of each one and to realize which one is more suitable for each application

THE SANTO ESTEVO DE RIBAS DE SIL MONUMENTAL STAIRCASE. GEOMETRIC LINES

[EN] The Santo Estevo de Ribas de Sil Monumental Staircase is one of the finest examples of a Monastic Staircase among the various Galician monastery complexes. Its authorship remains a mystery. The aim of this study is to examine its architecture through graphical analysis, showing the lines and the geometric modulation of its different component parts.[ES] La Escalera de Honor de Santo Estevo de Ribas de Sil es uno de los más bellos ejemplos de Escalera Monástica dentro de los conjuntos monasteriales gallegos. Su autoría permanece anónima. Es por tanto, el objetivo de este trabajo mostrar su arquitectura mediante su análisis gráfico, a través del cual se plantean los trazados y la modulación geométrica de las distintas partes componentes del conjunto.Pernas Alonso, MI.

Generalized and complementary pollination system in the Andean cactus Echinopsis schickendantzii

The considerable floral diversity present in the cactus family has often been associated with the specificity of its pollinators. However, many cactus pollination systems are generalized as their flowers are pollinated by a wide spectrum of animals. For example, cactus species with white flowers, nocturnal anthesis and extended floral cycles would present generalized pollination systems in which both nocturnal and diurnal visitors could be effective pollinators. In this article, we tested this hypothesis by studying the pollination biology of Echinopsis schickendantzii, an Andean cactus with sphingophilous flowers. In addition, we evaluated whether the cactus's pollination system is complementary or redundant regarding the relative contributions of nocturnal and diurnal pollinators. Specifically, we studied the floral cycle, the reproductive system and the pollination effectiveness of floral visitors. The flowers of E. schickendantzii are self-incompatible; they opened at crepuscule and have an extended floral cycle. Moths were frequent visitors at night, whereas bees were frequent visitors during the day; both were effective pollinators of the cactus. Our results indicated that the flowers of this species present phenotypic, functional and ecological generalization, and their fruit set is determined by the contributions of both pollinator functional groups, i. e., they have complementary pollination systems. These results support the hypothesis that cacti in the extra-tropical deserts of South America have generalized pollination systems.Fil: Alonso Pedano, Mariana Inés.

Family-specific degenerate primer design: a tool to design consensus degenerated oligonucleotides

Designing degenerate PCR primers for templates of unknown nucleotide sequence may be a very difficult task. In this paper, we present a new method to design degenerate primers, implemented in family-specific degenerate primer design (FAS-DPD) computer software, for which the starting point is a multiple alignment of related amino acids or nucleotide sequences. To assess their efficiency, four different genome collections were used, covering a wide range of genomic lengths: Arenavirus ( nucleotides), Baculovirus ( to  bp), Lactobacillus sp. ( to  bp), and Pseudomonas sp. ( to  bp). In each case, FAS-DPD designed primers were tested computationally to measure specificity. Designed primers for Arenavirus and Baculovirus were tested experimentally. The method presented here is useful for designing degenerate primers on collections of related protein sequences, allowing detection of new family members.Fil: Iserte, Javier Alonso.
