Tax and accounting regime of non-profit entities

Treball Final de Grau en Finances i Comptabilitat. Codi: FC1049. Curs acadèmic: 2019-2020The objective of this assignment is to analyse the accounting and tax differences of non-profit entities in comparison to the rest, highlighting several differences regarding the preparation of the annual accounts of foundations and associations of public utility (not including statements with regards to ongoing cash flow situation or changes in equity); the presentation criteria of the financial statements regarding assets and liabilities that are not affected by a market activity; or the particular criteria applicable to income and expenses (for example, long-term expenses or grants awarded to such entities). In the tax field, the main changes are limited to the IS (10% rate, certain exemptions; partial exemptions in the IS for entities that do not exceed 75,000 euros per year), and also other taxes such as the IBI or the IAE

Los aliviaderos tipo laberinto. Un nuevo enfoque para su cálculo hidráulico

At present, The Poiythencic University of Madr id, the CEDEX and JESÚS GRANELL ingenieros Consultores Company are carrying out an investigation project on labyrinth spillways. As a part of this project, it is proposed a new method for the hydraulic calculation of this type of spillways, which is based on the main facts occurred: the obliquity of the diagonal faces of the weir referred to the direction of the flow upstream in the approximation, and the nappe interference. The method is going to be improved a nd validated by physical a nd numerical modelling as a pa rt of the investigation project. However, the comparison of its preliminary results with other methods, and also with some physical models available provides encouraging results

Using mobile devices as scientific measurement instruments: Reliable android task scheduling

In various usage scenarios, smartphones are used as measuring instruments to systematically and unobtrusively collect data measurements (e.g., sensor data, user activity, phone usage data). Unfortunately, in the race towards extending battery life and improving privacy, mobile phone manufacturers are gradually restricting developers in (frequently) scheduling background (sensing) tasks and impede the exact scheduling of their execution time (i.e., Android’s “best effort” approach). This evolution hampers successful deployment of smartphones in sensing applications in scientific contexts, with unreliable and incomplete sampling rates frequently reported in literature. In this article, we discuss the ins and outs of Android’s background tasks scheduling mechanism, and formulate guidelines for developers to successfully implement reliable task scheduling. Implementing these guidelines, we present a software library, agnostic from the underlying Android scheduling mechanisms and restrictions, that allows Android developers to reliably schedule tasks with a maximum sampling rate of one minute. Our evaluation demonstrates the use and versatility of our task scheduler, and experimentally confirms its reliability and acceptable energy usage.Funding for open access charge: CRUE-Universitat Jaume

Mediterranean Long Shelf-Life Landraces: An Untapped Genetic Resource for Tomato Improvement

[EN] The Mediterranean long shelf-life (LSL) tomatoes are a group of landraces with a fruit remaining sound up to 6¿12 months after harvest. Most have been selected under semi-arid Mediterranean summer conditions with poor irrigation or rain-fed and thus, are drought tolerant. Besides the convergence in the latter traits, local selection criteria have been very variable, leading to a wide variation in fruit morphology and quality traits. The different soil characteristics and agricultural management techniques across the Mediterranean denote also a wide range of plant adaptive traits to different conditions. Despite the notorious traits for fruit quality and environment adaptation, the LSL landraces have been poorly exploited in tomato breeding programs, which rely basically on wild tomato species. In this review, we describe most of the information currently available for Mediterranean LSL landraces in order to highlight the importance of this genetic resource. We focus on the origin and diversity, the main selective traits, and the determinants of the extended fruit shelf-life and the drought tolerance. Altogether, the Mediterranean LSL landraces are a very valuable heritage to be revalued, since constitutes an alternative source to improve fruit quality and shelf-life in tomato, and to breed for more resilient cultivars under the predicted climate change conditions.This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 727929 (TOMRES), No 634561 (TRADITOM) and No 679796 (TomGEM). Research has been also supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (MINECO) project AGL2013-42364-R (TOMDRO), and the Government of the Balearic Islands grants BIA20/07, BIA07/08, BIA09/12 and AAEE56/2015. MF-P has a pre-doctoral fellowship (FPI/1929/2016) granted by the Government of the Balearic Islands.Conesa, MA.; Fullana-Pericas, M.; Granell Richart, A.; Galmes, J. (2020).

Características de la práctica físico-deportiva del alumnado con discapacidad de la Universitat de València

En la actualidad, la actividad físico-deportiva es fundamental para las personas con discapacidad debido a los múltiples beneficios físicos, psicológicos y sociales que aporta (Patel y Greydanus, 2010; Slater y Meade, 2004). Estudiar las características de la práctica físico-deportiva de este colectivo puede ser útil para poder desarrollar estrategias y programas que mejoren y aumenten dicha práctica (Bragaru,van Wilgen, Geertzen, Ruijs, Dijsktra y Dekker, 2013). Pese a ello, apenas existen estudios de carácter cuantitativo sobre el tema. De acuerdo con las carencias señaladas, el objetivo de este trabajo es identificar la cuantía de la práctica físico-deportiva del alumnado con discapacidad de la Universitat de València (UV), así como algunas características y pautas relacionadas con la misma. La muestra se compuso de 138 alumnos y alumnas con discapacidad de la UV (64 hombres y 74 mujeres), lo que supone un 13,3% de la presencia de este colectivo en la UV. Podemos decir que el nivel de práctica físico-deportiva del alumnado con discapacidad de la UV es elevado. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto que predomina la práctica recreativa frente a la competitiva y la práctica individual sobre la práctica en equipo. Por lo que respecta a la frecuencia, encontramos que un alto porcentaje del alumnado practica actividad físico-deportiva con mucha regularidad. Como se observa en la tabla 2, casi el 50% de los estudiantes practican tres veces o más por semana, siendo el grupo más numeroso, seguido de un 37,8% que practican entre una y dos veces por semana

Ethylene is involved in pistil fate by modulating the onset of ovule senescence and the GA-mediated fruit set in Arabidopsis

Background: Ovule lifespan is an important factor in determining the ability to set fruits and produce seeds. Once ovule senescence is established, fruit set capacity in response to gibberellins (GAs) is lost. We aimed to elucidate whether ethylene plays a role in controlling ovule senescence and the fruit set response in Arabidopsis. Results: Ethylene response inhibitors, silver thiosulphate (STS) and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP), were able to delay the loss of pistil response to GA3 . In addition, ethylene insensitive mutants ein2-5 and ein3-1 showed delayed loss of pistil response, as in plants treated with STS and 1-MCP, while constitutive mutant ctr1-1 displayed premature loss of response. The analysis of the expression of ethylene biosynthesis genes suggests that ethylene is synthesised in ovules at the onset of ovule senescence, while a transcriptional meta-analysis also supports an activated ethylene-dependent senescence upon the establishment of ovule senescence. Finally, a SAG12:GUS reporter line proved useful to monitor ovule senescence and to directly demonstrate that ethylene specifically modulates ovule senescence. Conclusions: We have shown that ethylene is involved in both the control of the ovule lifespan and the determination of the pistil/fruit fate. Our data support a role of the ovule in modulating the GA response during fruit set in Arabidopsis. A possible mechanism that links the ethylene modulation of the ovule senescence and the GA3 -induced fruit set response is discussed.The authors wish to thank Drs.

AwarNS: A framework for developing context-aware reactive mobile applications for health and mental health

In recent years, interest and investment in health and mental health smartphone apps have grown significantly. However, this growth has not been followed by an increase in quality and the incorporation of more advanced features in such applications. This can be explained by an expanding fragmentation of existing mobile platforms along with more restrictive privacy and battery consumption policies, with a consequent higher complexity of developing such smartphone applications. To help overcome these barriers, there is a need for robust, well-designed software development frameworks which are designed to be reliable, power-efficient and ethical with respect to data collection practices, and which support the sense-analyse-act paradigm typically employed in reactive mHealth applications. In this article, we present the AwarNS Framework, a context-aware modular software development framework for Android smartphones, which facilitates transparent, reliable, passive and active data sampling running in the background (sense), on-device and server-side data analysis (analyse), and context-aware just-in-time offline and online intervention capabilities (act). It is based on the principles of versatility, reliability, privacy, reusability, and testability. It offers built-in modules for capturing smartphone and associated wearable sensor data (e.g. IMU sensors, geolocation, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scans, physical activity, battery level, heart rate), analysis modules for data transformation, selection and filtering, performing geofencing analysis and machine learning regression and classification, and act modules for persistence and various notification deliveries. We describe the framework’s design principles and architecture design, explain its capabilities and implementation, and demonstrate its use at the hand of real-life case studies implementing various mobile interventions for different mental disorders used in clinical practice
