Everyday vocabulary in medieval documents from the Southern province of Ávila, 2

Este trabajo expone los usos de algunas parcelas del léxico perteneciente a la vida cotidiana (actividad agrícola, ganadera, otras actividades y alimentos) en un corpus documental del sur de la provincia de Ávila a lo largo del siglo XV. Continúa otro de las mismas autoras (2019). Es en primer lugar descriptivo, mediante la exposición de las voces seleccionadas de los testimonios consultados; a continuación, el análisis pasa a la comparación con otros corpus coetáneos y con distintas fuentes lexicográficas. Ofrece además información sobre los usos actuales de las voces estudiadas en la zona, información obtenida mediante encuestas hechas en el terreno. El repertorio léxico expuesto nos acerca a su uso cronológico y diatópico y en consecuencia a una mejor caracterización de la variedad lingüística de esta zona.This article sheds light on some lexical items from the semantic field of everyday life (agricultural activity, livestock, other activities and food) in a corpus from the south province of Avila throughout the 15th century. It is also the continuation of another forthcoming article (2019). First of all, it starts with a description of these lexical items in context; next, there is a contrastive analysis with similar diachronic corpora using different lexicographical sources. It also offers some information on the current uses of the words in the area, based on information obtained through field surveys. Thus, this lexical repertoire provides a better characterization of the current use of this linguistic variety from the diachronical and diatopic point of view.Junta de Castilla y León SA051G1

Programa de mejora de la competencia socioemocional en estudiantes con discapacidad intelectual

Las competencias tanto social, como emocional, son aspectos de gran importancia a trabajar en el pleno desarrollo de los alumnos durante su etapa escolar, por ello y centrándonos en aquellos estudiantes que además presentan necesidades especiales de apoyo educativo, más concretamente, en aquellos que poseen discapacidad intelectual, se han analizado varios programas de intervención sobre habilidades sociales para el entrenamiento en estas competencias y a partir de entonces, se ha elaborado una propuesta de intervención para poder llevar a cabo en un centro de Educación Especial con alumnos con dichas dificultades de relación tanto consigo, como con los demás, con el objetivo de desarrollar la competencia socioemocional y formar personas que puedan estar integradas en la sociedad adecuadamente, así como tener un manejo correcto de las propias conductas.Grado en Educación Primari

Remediation of Potential Toxic Elements from Wastes and Soils: Analysis and Energy Prospects

[EN] The aim of this study is to evaluate the application of the main hazardous waste management techniques in mining operations and in dumping sites being conscious of the inter-linkages and inter-compartment of the contaminated soils and sediments. For this purpose, a systematic review of the literature on the reduction or elimination of different potential toxic elements was carried out, focusing on As, Cd and Hg as main current contaminant agents. Selected techniques are feasible according to several European countries’ directives, especially in Spain. In the case of arsenic, we verified that there exists a main line that is based on the use of iron minerals and its derivatives. It is important to determine its speciation since As (III) is more toxic and mobile than As (V). For cadmium (II), we observed a certain predominance of the use of biotic techniques, compared to a variety of others. Finally, in mercury case, treatments include a phytoremediation technique using Limnocharis flava and the use of a new natural adsorbent: a modified nanobiocomposite hydrogel. The use of biological treatments is increasingly being studied because they are environmentally friendly, efficient and highly viable in both process and energy terms. The study of techniques for the removal of potential toxic elements should be performed with a focus on the simultaneous removal of several metals, since in nature they do not appear in isolation. Moreover, we found that energy analysis constitutes a limiting factor in relation to the feasibility of these techniques.SIUniversidad de Leó

Old age pensions and retirement in Spain

In this paper we analyze the influence that incentives play in the timing of the transition to retirement in Spain. We use the Continuous Sample of Working Histories 2006 (CSWH 'Muestra Continua de Vidas Laborales', in Spanish) to construct incentive measures from the Social Security provisions in relation to retiring at old age. We analyse the role played by such incentives and other socio-economic variables on the retirement hazard of men aged between 60 and 70, using a duration model to carry out a dynamic analysis. We assess the effects of the pension system reform that took place in 2002, which set stricter conditions to access an old pension. The results show that both the pension wealth and the substitution effects play a significant role in retirement decisions, but that, after the reform, the latter effects become less important

Wilderness Network Conservation in the Cantabrian Region of Northern Spain

Natura 2000 is a pan-European network whose principal aim is to conserve the European spaces of greatest natural interest. Its effectiveness is analyzed in a specific sector in Spain, namely the Atlantic Region, through an exhaustive division and assessment by area. This article considers questions related to the impact on the spaces included within the network, providing specific examples associated with the fauna, flora, and the territorial agroecostructures. Alternatives and communication possibilities are suggested for those spaces excluded from the network, but which have a key role as nodes for interchange and connection of biodiversity

Formulation of a Highly Effective Inoculant for Common Bean Based on an Autochthonous Elite Strain of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. phaseoli, and Genomic-Based Insights Into Its Agronomic Performance

[EN] Common bean is a poor symbiotic N-fixer, with a low response to inoculation owing to its promiscuous nodulation with competitive but inefficient resident rhizobia. Consequently, farmers prefer to fertilize them rather than rely on their capacity for Biological Nitrogen Fixation (BNF). However, when rhizobial inoculants are based on autochthonous strains, they often have superior BNF performance in the field due to their genetic adaptations to the local environment. Nevertheless, there is scant information at the genomic level explaining their superiority or on how their genomes may influence the inoculant performance. This information is especially important in technologically advanced agri-systems like Europe, where environmental concerns and increasingly stringent fertilizer regulations are encouraging a return to the use of rhizobial inoculants, but based upon strains that have been thoroughly characterized in terms of their symbiotic performance and their genetics. The aim of this study was to design an inoculant formulation based on a superior autochthonous strain, Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. phaseoli LCS0306, to assess its performance in the field, and to determine the genomic features contributing to the high effectiveness of its symbiosis with common bean. Plants inoculated with the autochthonous strain LCS0306 fixed significantly more nitrogen than those with the allochthonous strains R. phaseoli ATCC 14482T and R. etli CFN42T, and had grain yield similar to the nitrogen-fertilized controls. Inoculation with LCS0306 was particularly efficacious when formulated with a carrier based upon a mixture of perlite and biochar. Whole genome comparisons revealed no differences in the classical symbiotic genes of strain LCS0306 within the symbiovar phaseoli. However, its symbiotic superior performance might be due to its genomic versatility, as it harbors a large assortment of genes contributing to fitness and competitiveness. It is concluded that inoculation with elite rhizobia formulated with perlite-biochar carriers might constitute a step-change in the sustainable cultivation of common bean in Spanish soils.SIThis work has been financially supported by the following research projects: LE029A10-2 (Junta de Castilla y León, Spain); LIGNOxBIO project RTC 2016-5834-5 (Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness).

Search algorithm to find optimum strategies to shape political action with subjective assessment

This paper introduces a problem related to decision making and the shaping of political strategies in the course of one term of office, in which the government and the opposition shape their proposals for action on two issues that are relevant for the citizens. A variable component is considered regarding both the relevance of the issues to be dealt with and the strategies that the parties are presumed to adopt. The aim of this study is to find the optimum strategies for the two majority parties of a country, while allowing them to vary their proposals to a certain degree. In addition, the process is dynamic because the proposals are intended to be modified taking into account the other party’s foreseen action. The contribution of this article lies in this approach, as well as in its taking into account variable components. The problem is dealt with from a geometric point of view, and a search algorithm to find optimum strategies is developed

Retirement behaviour and retirement incentives in Spain

In this paper we analyse the role that Social Security wealth and incentives play in the transition to retirement in Spain. We use the labour records and other relevant information contained in a newly released database [Muestra Continua de Vidas Laborales (2006)] to construct incentive measures stemming from the Social Security provisions in relation to retiring at old age and investigate the role played by such incentives and by other socio-economic variables on the retirement hazard. We compute the effects of the reform that took place in 2002, which made the requirements to access a pension stricter in general. We carry out a dynamic reduced-form analysis of the retirement decision using a duration model. Our results show that both the pension wealth and substitution effects have a significant role on retirement decisions, but that the latter has less relevance since the reform introduced in 200
