Isolated factorizations and their applications in simplicial affine semigroups

We introduce the concept of isolated factorizations of an element of a commutative monoid and study its properties. We give several bounds for the number of isolated factorizations of simplicial affine semigroups and numerical semigroups. We also generalize $\alpha$-rectangular numerical semigroups to the context of simplicial affine semigroups and study their isolated factorizations. As a consequence of our results, we characterize those complete intersection simplicial affine semigroups with only one Betti minimal element in several ways. Moreover, we define Betti sorted and Betti divisible simplicial affine semigroups and characterize them in terms of gluings and their minimal presentations. Finally, we determine all the Betti divisible numerical semigroups, which turn out to be those numerical semigroups that are free for any arrangement of their minimal generators

Antipsicóticos orales VS. Antipsicóticos inyectables: ¿Asegurar la adherencia terapéutica mejora el pronóstico en el trastorno mental grave?

Trabajo fin de grado en EnfermeríaLa adherencia al tratamiento psicofarmacológico es un factor importante a tener en cuenta en la evolución de los trastornos psiquiátricos. Una falta de adherencia puede llevar a una descompensación de la enfermedad, recaídas, rehospitalizaciones… La enfermería juega un importante papel para evitar estas exacerbaciones, con un abordaje del paciente psiquiátrico ayudando en la administración de la medicación. El objetivo de esta revisión es comparar si la adherencia al tratamiento con inyectables de larga duración (ILD) en vez de un tratamiento oral, mejora la situación clínica del paciente. Para ello se realizó una revisión sistemática para dar respuesta al objetivo planteado. Se incluyeron 8 artículos: 4 ensayos clínicos aleatorizados, 2 revisiones, 1 estudio observacional y 1 meta-análisis donde se estudiaron distintas variables: rehospitalizaciones, recaídas y no adherencia. La comparativa entre ILD y antipsicóticos orales de las variables a estudio mostraron resultados significativos en algunos de los estudios, donde la flufenacina fue el inyectable más destacable en cuanto a porcentajes menores de recaídas y rehospitalizaciones en uno de ellos. Aunque en otros estudios no se encontraron resultados estadísticamente significativos, en todos ellos se observó una tendencia a favor de ILD. En conclusión, todos los estudios muestran resultados a favor de los ILD a pesar de que algunos no alcancen la significación estadística. Por lo tanto, puede existir una mejoría clínicamente relevante en los pacientes tratados con antipsicóticos inyectables, aunque no sea la solución para todos los pacientes con dificultades de adherencia.The adherence to antipsychotics therapy is an important factor to be considered in the progress of psychiatric disorders. The lack of adherence may lead to the recrudescence of the disease, relapses, rehospitalizations, etc. Nursing plays an important role in preventing this type of exacerbations, with psychiatric assistance and with helping patients to administrate the medication. The aim of this review is to compare if the adherence to long-acting injectables (LAIs), instead of oral treatments, improves the clinical condition of the patient. For this purpose, a systematic review was conducted to provide answers to the stated objective. There were 8 articles included: 4 randomised clinical trials, 2 systematic reviews, 1 observational study and 1 meta-analysis where some variables were analysed: rehospitalizations, relapses and the lack of adherence. The comparison between LAIs and oral antipsychotics, of the variables studied, showed significant results in some of the studies, where the fluphenazine as a LAI was the most notable injectable in terms of showing lower percentages of relapses and rehospitalizations in one of them. Other studies did not show statistically significant results but all of them demonstrated more positive results for LAIs than for oral antipsychotics. In conclusion, all the studies showed results in favour of LAIs even though some of them did not achieve statistical significance. Therefore, a characteristic improvement in the patients treated with LAIs may happen, but it would not be the solution for all patients with problems of adherence

Participación de la familia en el aula

Treball Final de Grau en Mestre o Mestra d'Educació Infantil. Codi: MI1040. Curs acadèmic: 2016/2017This work end of degree aims to improve family-school relations. It is divided into four major parts: the historical evolution of the participation of families in schools in Spanish law, ther benefits of the participation of families in the school, know the situation that exists in the Center where I am doing the parent involvement practices directly in the classroom and the relazation of a range of intervention strategies. I am doing the practices in the CEIP Novenes de Calatrava in Burriana, I wanted to take advantage of it and the experiences I have lived in the second cycle of early chilhood education to carry out my dissertation in this context. I have analyzed the ecaluation of such participation by Spanish law and I have done a small study on the importance that has the participation of families in the education of their children and the benefits of this. I have detected the Little participation of the families in the classroom through my observation. I wanted to contrast this information by questionnaries to families and the tutors, with these data I have been able to reflect the Little participation of the families in the classroom. Finally I have made a proposal for intervention tin these classrooms, through activities involving families. I have seen trough a table, that the assessment made by the tutors of these activities is quite positive. But really, only a fez have carried out in their classrooms of so me of these activities.Este Trabajo Fin de Grado tiene la finalidad de mejorar las relaciones familia-escuela. Se divide en cuatro partes importantes: la evolución histórica de la participación de las familias en los centros escolares en la legislación española, los beneficios de la participación de las familias en la escuela, conocer la situación que se vive en el centro donde estoy realizando las prácticas sobre la participación de los padres directamente en el aula y la realización de una serie de estrategias de intervención. Al encontrarme realizando las prácticas en el CEIP Novenes de Calatrava en Burriana, he querido aprovechar esta estancia y las experiencias que he podido vivir en el Segundo Ciclo de Educación Infantil para llevar a cabo mi TFG en este contexto. He analizado la evaluación de dicha participación por la legislación española y he realizado un pequeño estudio sobre la importancia que tiene la participación de las familias en la educación de sus hijos y los beneficios de esta. He detectado la poca participación de las familias en el aula a través de mi observación. He querido contrastar esta información realizando unos cuestionarios a las familias y a las tutoras, con estos datos he podido reflejar la poca participación de las familias en el aula. Finalmente he realizado una propuesta de intervención en estas aulas, a través de actividades donde participan las familias. He podido comprobar a través de una tabla, que la valoración que han hecho las tutoras de estas actividades es bastante positiva. Pero realmente, solo algunas han llevado a cabo en sus aulas algunas de estas actividades

Community-oriented Service-Learning: A university experience for preventing cannabis abuse in vulnerable adolescents and young people

Learning integrated into community action promotes a more active citizenry. More specifically, service-learning (S-L) embedded into higher education can represent a big challenge yet also an opportunity to involve the whole university community in social and community development. This paper addresses this teaching method by identifiying and reviewing the different components that define S-L, that is: civic engagement, social responsibility, civic education, partnership, and reflection. The ways in which S-L can be introduced into the curriculum are explained, through detailing experiences already carried out in the teaching of psychology. Current available data on its efficacy in university education are analyzed. The focus now turns to a university experience involving Community Psychology students across Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. During this experience, students on both programmes make their final-year projects to develop a prevention resource aimed at young people at high risk of problematic cannabis use. Ultimately, this program not only teaches students the principles of Community Psychology but also give them an opportunity to put them into practice

Nuevas propuestas en la teoría de la potencia reactiva instantánea : aplicación a la compensación de cargas industriales con filtros activos de potencia

Se presentan y estudian las formulaciones más relevantes de la teoría de control, que se aplica a la compensación de cargas trifásicas no lineales en sistemas de cuatro conductores, tanto a nivel de simulación como experimental. Los resultados obtenidos se utilizan para realizar un estudio comparativo en el que se pone de manifiesto que ninguna permite obtener intensidades de fuente equilibradas y sinusoidales para cualesquiera condiciones en las tensiones de alimentación. No obstante, en esta tesis se proponen estrategias de control que consiguen alcanzar diferentes objetivos de compensación en cada contexto: potencia de fuente de constante, factor de potencia unidad e intensidad de fuente equilibrada y sinusoidal. Por último, en esta tesis doctoral se ha desarrollado una nueva propuesta de la teoría de la potencia reactiva instantánea que se denomina formulación tensorial aplicable a sistemas polifásicos.______________________________________________The most relevant formulations of the instantaneous reactive power theory are presented and studied.Each one is analyzed to obtain its control strategy, that is applied to the compensation of three-phase nonlinear loads in four-wire systems, as much concerning simulation as experimental. The obtained results are used to carry out a comparative study in which it is shown that no strategy allows to obtain balanced and sinusoidal source current for any conditions in the supply voltage. However, in this thesis, several control strategies are presented that are able to obtain different objectives from compensation in each context: constant source power, unity power factor and balanced and sinusoidal source current. Finally, in this work, a new approach of the instantaneous reactive power theory has been developed that is named tensorial and is applicable to multiphase systems

The Economics of Gender Relations in "Pride and Prejudice" of Jane Austen

El presente artículo pretende ser una aproximación con gafas de género a los sistemas de transmisión o ruptura del patriarcado a través de una de las obras más conocidas de la literatura inglesa de principios del siglo XIX: Orgullo y prejuicio, de Jane Austen. Para ello, se desentrañará el funcionamiento de la economía de género en la mencionada novela, confrontándolo con los procesos educativos de la época y los primeros indicios de individualización femenina en la sociedad moderna.This article tries to be a gender approach to transmission systems or broken patriarchy through one of the best known works of English literature from the early nineteenth century: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. To this end, will be clarified how works the gender economy in that novel facing and comparing it with the time being educational processes and the first signs of women individualization on modern societies

User cooperation effects on firm's innovation outputs

[EN] We analyzed the effects of R&D cooperation with users and the intensity/continuity of such cooperation on firms’ innovation output—whether radical or incremental. We also examined the moderating effect of firm size on these relationships. Results show that cooperation with users favours the development of both radical and incremental product innovations. In addition, we found that the higher the intensity/continuity of the relationship with users, the more likely radical innovations are to develop when compared with incremental innovations. We note that the positive effect of cooperation on the development of innovation is especially significant for small firms.[FR] Cet article analyse les effets de la coopération R et D avec les utilisateurs et l’intensité/la continuité d’une telle coopération sur le rendement de l’innovation des entreprises — que cette innovation soit radicale ou graduelle. Il examine aussi l’effet modérateur de la taille des entreprises sur ces relations. Les résultats révèlent que la coopération avec les utilisateurs favorise le développement des innovationsproduits radicales et graduelles. Par ailleurs, plus l’intensité/la continuité de la relation avec les utilisateurs est élevée, plus les innovations radicales sont susceptibles d’être développées. L’effet positif de la coopération sur le développement de l’innovation est particulièrement évident pour les petites entreprises.S

Effects of customer cooperation on knowledge generation activities and innovation results of firms

[EN] This study has analyzed the effect of cooperation with customers on firms’ innovation activities. This issue is particularly novel and important as customers provide information that will be very useful to generate new products and to make the innovation process more efficient. This paper makes important contributions to the literature by analyzing how the cooperation with customers affected the creation of technological knowledge and the economic returns derived from such knowledge. Results have shown that firms cooperating with customers increased investments geared toward expanding the technological knowledge base within the firm’s technological domain yet managed to reduce investments oriented to extend the frontier of technological knowledge, at least in the short term. It was also observed, that this cooperation had positive effects on firms’ economic returns derived from the sales of products new for the market allowing companies to maintain a competitive advantage over their rivals.SIWe are grateful to the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation which financed the Project ECO2009-09283 and the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness which financed the Project ECO2012-35439

Effects of user's cooperation and location on innovation activity of firms: an input-output approach

The present study analyses the profile of firms cooperating with users and estimates the effect of this cooperation on firms’ innovation activities. This issue is particular novel and important as users provide information that will be very useful for generating new products and making the innovation process more efficient. The findings confirm that cooperation with users is a tool for progress and development as it has a positive influence on both input and output of firms’ innovation process. This paper makes three important contributions to the literature. First, we analyse the effect of cooperation with users on how firms distribute their R&D expenditures (basic research, applied research and technological development) in order to make clear how this tool can affect the different strategies for generating knowledge. Second, we also study the impact of this kind of cooperation on the degree of novelty of new products, with the aim of explaining how it affects the productivity of R&D activities. Third, to estimate these effects, the study analyses these relationships and explore the role of proximity in the cooperation with users taking into account the location of this agent (domestic versus international users). Results confirm that cooperation with users increases investments in activities that generate knowledge with a specific practical objective and which are near to firms’ technological domain (applied research and technological development). Independently of user’s location, firms increase their investment in technological development to act quickly in the market and to obtain profits. The study also concludes that cooperation with users has positive effects on innovation outputs and its degree of novelty (radical versus incremental innovations). Nonetheless, these effects are different according to user’s location. Cooperation with domestic users stimulates the sales of radical innovations and cooperation with international users increase sales of incremental innovations
