A dichotomy property for locally compact groups

We extend to metrizable locally compact groups Rosenthal's theorem describing those Banach spaces containing no copy of $l_1$. For that purpose, we transfer to general locally compact groups the notion of interpolation ($I_0$) set, which was defined by Hartman and Ryll-Nardzewsky [25] for locally compact abelian groups. Thus we prove that for every sequence $\lbrace g_n \rbrace_{n<\omega}$ in a locally compact group $G$, then either $\lbrace g_n \rbrace_{n<\omega}$ has a weak Cauchy subsequence or contains a subsequence that is an $I_0$ set. This result is subsequently applied to obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of Sidon sets in a locally compact group $G$, an old question that remains open since 1974 (see [32] and [20]). Finally, we show that every locally compact group strongly respects compactness extending thereby a result by Comfort, Trigos-Arrieta, and Wu [13], who established this property for abelian locally compact groups.Comment: To appear in J. of Functional Analysi

Interpolation sets in spaces of continuous metric-valued functions

Let $X$ and $M$ be a topological space and metric space, respectively. If $C(X,M)$ denotes the set of all continuous functions from X to M, we say that a subset $Y$ of $X$ is an \emph{$M$-interpolation set} if given any function $g\in M^Y$ with relatively compact range in $M$, there exists a map $f\in C(X,M)$ such that $f_{|Y}=g$. In this paper, motivated by a result of Bourgain in \cite{Bourgain1977}, we introduce a property, stronger than the mere \emph{non equicontinuity} of a family of continuous functions, that isolates a crucial fact for the existence of interpolation sets in fairly general settings. As a consequence, we establish the existence of $I_0$ sets in every nonprecompact subset of a abelian locally $k_{\omega}$-groups. This implies that abelian locally $k_{\omega}$-groups strongly respects compactness

Implementation of mediation in the indignity of inheriting in Spain

Following the enactment of Law 5/2012, of July 6. Act of mediation in civil and commercial matters, in our national law to some extent developing the legal concept of mediator, but it is not the subject of this study we know that Spain is a pluri state following the promulgation of the standard in certain Autonomous communities have legislation in particular mediation. But in focusing on this work is the application of mediation in the indignity happen. First for the cause being alive and the heirs tested as intestate not to reach an agreement through mediation because there are usually family disputes, there may be a caregiver of the person with disability can be physical, sensory or mental, with the other heirs or heirs. So, I think that is a good tool mediation to both the deceased and the heirs both tested as intestate find a final agreement for the cause first has the “attention due” in life and later are not unworthy to succeed her heirs or heirs, since these also create them a social stigma. As states, the title of the work is the application of mediation in the indignity to happen in the first chapter the concept of unworthiness to succeed in the Spanish Civil Code is studied, as understanding mediation should develop this legal concept before and in the second chapter as the parties attending the indignity happen. In the third chapter the indignity happen when the person is handicapped intellectually as may be the case in mediation, and the fourth chapter the possibility that a person involved in the mediation suffer a mental disorder is also studied, being able to take this situation in mediation, and finally in the fifth performance of the mediator in the indignity happen, extinction of mediation and final settlement, as essential elements for the emergence or not a final agreement between the parties to the conflict have studied and well the performance of the mediator in this conflict.Tras la promulgación de la Ley de mediación en asuntos civiles y mercantiles (Ley 5/2012-jul-6), en nuestro Derecho interno se desarrolló la figura jurídica del mediador. Aunque no es tema del presente estudio, debemos saber que España es un Estado plurilegislativo que, a raíz de la promulgación de la norma en ciertas comunidades autónomas, existe una legislación de mediación determinada. Este trabajo se enfoca en la aplicación de la mediación en la indignidad de suceder, puesto que el causante en vida y los herederos testados e intestados pueden llegar a un acuerdo con la mediación y evitar disputas familiares con los demás coherederos o legitimarios. La mediación es una herramienta para que tanto el causante como los herederos testados e intestados alcancen un acuerdo final, obteniendo el causante las “atenciones debidas” en vida y sus legitimarios o herederos no sean indignos de suceder, ni crearles así, un estigma social. Primero se estudia el concepto de la indignidad de suceder en el Código Civil español, pues para comprender la mediación debe desarrollarse este concepto legal. Segundo, cómo acuden las partes en la indignidad de suceder. Tercero, la indignidad de suceder cuando la persona está en condición de discapacidad intelectual. Cuarto, la posibilidad de que una persona que participa en la mediación sufra un trastorno mental y, por último, se revisa la actuación del mediador en la indignidad de suceder, la extinción de la mediación y el acuerdo final, como elementos indispensables para que surja o no un acuerdo final entre las partes en conflicto

The agrarian cooperative system in Spain: from corporatism to the present

From the start of agricultural cooperatives in Spain in the nineteenth century, their purpose was to group all Spanish farmers and form an agricultural community; after the arrival of the Second Republic, an attempt was made to give a great democratic boost to cooperatives, as well as to women’s intervention in them, although their legislation was very short-lived. After the Spanish Civil War, the Franco government purged the members of the cooperatives, especially those who aided in these efforts, even social-Catholic cooperatives. The arrival of democracy and the issuance of the Spanish Constitution of December 27, 1978, gave way to the enactment of the Law of Cooperatives of 1999, thus initiating the legal regime of cooperatives in Spain. The Autonomous Communities also issued their own legislations, which promoted effective equality between men and women within the scope of the cooperative system.Desde los inicios de las cooperativas agrícolas en España, en el siglo XIX, se intentó agrupar a todos los agricultores españoles, por lo que, tras la llegada de la Segunda República, se dio un gran impulso democrático y a la intervención de las mujeres en las cooperativas, aunque su legislación fue breve. Tras la Guerra Civil española se instauró el gobierno franquista, que depuró al personal que estaba en las cooperativas, sobre todo al que había participado en la contienda, incluido el movimiento católico-social. Con la llegada de la democracia y la promulgación de la Constitución española del 27 de diciembre de 1978 se abrió paso a la Ley de cooperativas de 1999, lo que inició el régimen jurídico de las cooperativas en España. Las comunidades autónomas también promulgaron sus legislaciones, que abarcaron la igualdad efectiva en el ámbito del régimen de cooperativas

Relación entre la gratitud y la satisfacción con la vida en una muestra de Estudiantes Españoles: El papel moderador del género.

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between gratitude and life satisfaction among university students in Spain. The present study seeks to assess gratitude by means of a self-report Gratitude Questionnaire (GQ-6; McCullough et al., 2002) and Life satisfaction scale (SWLS; Diener et al., 1985). Using a multiple linear regression analysis, the relationship between life satisfaction and gratitude is analyzed. The results suggest that gratitude significantly predicts life satisfaction, while on the other hand, differences exist with regard to gender in the relationship between gratitude and life satisfaction. The significance and limitations of the present findings are discussed.El presente estudio pretende examinar la relación entre la gratitud y la satisfacción vital en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios españoles. En esta investigación se utilizó la escala de Gratitud  (GQ-6; McCullough et al., 2002) y la escala de Satisfacción con la vida (SWLS; Diener et al., 1985). Los datos, del análisis de regresión lineal, mostraron que la gratitud predice la satisfacción con la vida (en el bienestar físico y psicológico). Por otro lado, en la relación entre ambos términos, se encontraron diferencias de género. Al final del trabajo, se exponen unas conclusiones y, también, se discuten las limitaciones del presente estudio
