Session A3: Cipriber Project: Actions for the Protection and Conservation of Iberian Cyprinids of Community Interest

Abstract: In recent years many studies have pointed out a decline in the populations of some threatened fish species in Duero and Tagus basins as well as an increase in distribution of invasive species. Mostly, this is due to river habitat deterioration by existing pressures over the river courses. In order to protect and provide the basis for the recovery of these populations, the Duero Basin Authority as coordinating partner, and with the collaboration of the Tagus Basin Authority, the Department of Development and Environment of the Junta de Castilla y León (the regional government) and Natural Heritage of Castilla y León Foundation has promoted a project that has been selected in the 2013 call for the LIFE program. The target species are endemic native cyprinids of Community interest (Sarda, Alagon stone loach, Duero nase, etc...) located in SCIs in the western of the Salamanca province (Spain). This presentation sets out the targets and action lines of the project, among which demolition of obsolete dams and new fish pass passages on weirs in use are basic tools to achieve river habitat conditions that allow a better distribution and population status. Removing existing pressures in water courses and restoring habitat will allow to progress towards good environmental status. The river restoration appears, therefore, as essential instrument to achieve an improvement of biodiversity. Other important objectives are the development of a breeding protocol to offset the current regression status, improve the scientific and technical knowledge on these species and define a fish and water management program. The project also has an important content of dissemination, communication and public participation as key elements to address some actions for longitudinal continuity recovery as dam removal, since some groups such as councilors, anglers, etc. are still reluctant to this kind of measures

Buenas prácticas de innovación docente en la Universidad de Córdoba

La propuesta, que empezó a gestarse hace cuatro cursos académicos, se denomina Investigación en atención a la diversidad (Invadid), que supone el establecimiento de relaciones significativas entre los conocimientos conceptuales de las asignaturas Métodos de Investigación en Educación y Educación especial, que se imparten en la titulación de Psicopedagogía. El reto: la formación integral del alumnado

Entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial intentions of sports science students: what are their determinant variables?

Entrepreneurship is a key factor in sports due to the globalization and increase in competitiveness in the actual labour market. Therefore, it is important to understand entrepreneurial behaviour and distinguish between the two possible types, intrapreneurship and entrepreneurship, because both should be promoted. However, while studies on the entrepreneurial intentions of university students are a consolidated area of study, little is still known about intrapreneurial intentions. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to discover the determinant variables of entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial intentions of sports science students. For that reason, a sample of 183 senior-level sports science students, 23.60% female and 76.40% male with ages ranging between 20 and 41 years old (M = 22.56; SD = 2.70) was analysed. The results showed that the determinant variables of these two types of entrepreneurial behaviour are totally different. In the case of entrepreneurial intentions, the attitude towards behaviour and the perceived behaviour control were the significant determinants, while in the case of intrapreneurial intentions, the entrepreneurial abilities, subjective norm and age were the main determinants. To summarise, the educational university policies used to enhance the entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial intentions of sports science students should be different. Finally, to address this issue, some practical implications were presented.Ciencias de la Actividad Física y del Deport

Spin-orbit coupling in curved graphene, fullerenes, nanotubes, and nanotube caps

A continuum model for the effective spin orbit interaction in graphene is derived from a tight-binding model which includes the $\pi$ and $\sigma$ bands. We analyze the combined effects of the intra-atomic spin-orbit coupling, curvature, and applied electric field, using perturbation theory. We recover the effective spin-orbit Hamiltonian derived recently from group theoretical arguments by Kane and Mele. We find, for flat graphene, that the intrinsic spin-orbit coupling \Hi \propto \Delta^ 2 and the Rashba coupling due to a perpendicular electric field ${\cal E}$, $\Delta_{\cal E} \propto \Delta$, where $\Delta$ is the intra-atomic spin-orbit coupling constant for carbon. Moreover we show that local curvature of the graphene sheet induces an extra spin-orbit coupling term $\Delta_{\rm curv} \propto \Delta$. For the values of $\cal E$ and curvature profile reported in actual samples of graphene, we find that \Hi < \Delta_{\cal E} \lesssim \Delta_{\rm curv}. The effect of spin-orbit coupling on derived materials of graphene, like fullerenes, nanotubes, and nanotube caps, is also studied. For fullerenes, only \Hi is important. Both for nanotubes and nanotube caps $\Delta_{\rm curv}$ is in the order of a few Kelvins. We reproduce the known appearance of a gap and spin-splitting in the energy spectrum of nanotubes due to the spin-orbit coupling. For nanotube caps, spin-orbit coupling causes spin-splitting of the localized states at the cap, which could allow spin-dependent field-effect emission.Comment: Final version.

Valladolid O’Clock, rediseño corporativo de ciudad

En el presente proyecto se ha abordado el problema de turismo de Valladolid. Se busca revolucionar el mercado turístico actual, elevando Valladolid como referente de este cambio. Para ello se realiza una investigación de la situación actual a nivel global y local, para tomar las decisiones adecuadas y crear una identidad corporativa sobre un modelo de negocio adecuado y bien definido. Se realiza la marca con sus respectivos elementos de marca, que supone la creación de papelería, soportes digitales y merchandising. Además, se crean una serie de elementos corpóreos que se distribuirán por la ciudad con finalidades estratégicas y de coherencia de marca, y se desarrolla una aplicación móvil para permitir al usuario consultar qué eventos están sucediendo en Valladolid a través de un mapa interactivoDepartamento de Teoría de la Arquitectura y Proyectos ArquitectónicosGrado en Ingeniería en Diseño Industrial y Desarrollo de Product

La investigación sobre emprendimiento en el ámbito deportivo. Revisión de los documentos publicados en la WOS

Este artículo presenta una revisión de las investigaciones realizadas sobre emprendimiento en el ámbito deportivo, basándose en los documentos publicados en la WOS sobre esta temática. Se han encontrado 109 documentos publicados en esta base de datos hasta el año 2014, habiendo sido éstos clasificados según el autor, la revista publicada, las palabras clave utilizadas, el año de publicación, el idioma utilizado, la institución de procedencia del autor de correspondencia y el país de éste mismo. Para medir el impacto de éstos, se han utilizado los índices Recs, LCS y GCS. Los resultados muestran que el año en el que más publicaciones se han realizado es el 2011, que la mayoría de éstas son en inglés y proceden de universidades extranjeras, siendo USA y UK los países que más han publicado sobre este tema. Sin embargo, pese a que en los últimos años el número de publicaciones sobre emprendimiento en el deporte ha aumentado en esta base de datos, a nivel español, tanto por parte de autores de esta nacionalidad como del propio país así como instituciones son aún muy escasas las investigaciones que se han realizado en este ámbito
