Red social para la práctica cooperativa y competitiva del deporte

En el presente proyecto se mostrará el diseño e implementación de un sitio web utilizando Drupal 7. El proyecto será una red social de carácter deportivo llamada FriendSport, con la finalidad de poder contactar con gente que le interesen los mismos deportes, poder compartir contenido, formar grupos, además de otras funciones comunes de una red social como el sistema de amigos, publicaciones o chat. Primero se explicará que es Drupal y sus características, así como la justificación de por qué es una solución adecuada para este tipo de proyecto, cómo es su instalación y cómo funcionan sus módulos. Antes de empezar el proyecto definiremos los requisitos funcionales básicos que tendrá el sitio web que serán la guía para la implementación. Una vez detallados los requisitos funcionales y siguiendo su esquema, se explicará la implementación con las funcionalidades básicas del sitio. Con esta estructura hecha se detallarán los principales contenidos personalizamos que tendrá el sitio y que podrán crear los usuarios. Todo este proceso llevará desde la configuración de módulos creados por terceros, manejo de consultas SQL, creación de módulos propios para Drupal, diseño de la web y programación para el sitio utilizando la API de Drupal

La okupación como herramienta de intervención social.

La okupación se ha convertido en una práctica que ha permitido a la población tomar conciencia sobre una de sus necesidades más básicas, el derecho a una vivienda. Pero también ha servido como herramienta para crear espacios de autoorganización y participación, donde se han creado contraculturas y alternativas reales de vida. Unir esta práctica al Trabajo Social y a la Investigación Militante puede generar una nueva forma de intervención social que permita repensar y establecer modelos de actuación que hasta ahora no se han realizado, los cuales involucren de forma directa a la población y generen en ella lazos de unión para conquistar todas las demandas que posean. Creando una sinergia entre las 3 se puede establecer un conocimiento y un hacer que abogue por el empoderamiento y la liberación de la ciudadanía, elementos base de la profesión del Trabajo Social.<br /

No lo llames felicidad hasta que veas en qué para; una unidad didáctica sobre la ética clásica

Dada la imposibilidad de tener contacto con estudiantes durante el periodo de prácticas, el presente trabajo sustituye la memoria de las actividades realizadas durante este tiempo (que consistirían únicamente la elaboración de una unidad didáctica, guía de las sesiones que habría impartido en un desarrollo normal de los acontecimientos) por un desarrollo de los contenidos secuenciados en esta unidad didáctica que -junto a la exposición, también, de la metodología empleada para su tratamiento en el aula, y de algunas otras actividades realizadas especialmente en las asignaturas de los últimos meses (como el diseño de una programación didáctica, o de algunas de las actividades que incluimos)- permita dar cuenta de la forma que habrían adoptado en su puesta en práctica en las sesiones programadas. De esta manera, el texto se dedica una revisión de la teoría para adaptarla a al contexto de una clase de primero de bachillerato, en un ejercicio de didáctica de la filosofía que servirá para una justificación principalmente teórica de la unidad didáctica, y que al mismo tiempo resulta la visión más cercana que puedo ofrecer a la que habría sido mi práctica docente.<br /

Optimal infrastructure selection to boost regional sustainable economy

The role of infrastructures in boosting the economic growth of the regions is widely recognized. In many cases, an infrastructure is selected by subjective reasons. Selection of the optimal infrastructure for sustainable economic development of a region should be based on objective and founded reasons, not only economical, but also environmental and social. In this paper is developed such selection through a hybrid method based on Delphi, analytical hierarchy process (AHP), and VIKOR (from Serbian, VIseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje). To do this, a panel of experts assesses both the infrastructures and the drivers for their selection. The method lets us to verify the consistency of answers from experts. In our case, AHP obtains preference values for each infrastructure using the eigenvector method. Meanwhile, the VIKOR method evaluates whether the proposed is the one that best fits the prevailing view, minimizing the regret to the most separate opinions. Thus, for La Costera (Spain), the region under study, this research work concludes that the thematic route is the optimal infrastructure.Martín Utrillas, MG.; Juan-Garcia, F.; Cantó Perelló, J.; Curiel Esparza, J.

Applying an experimental design to improve the manufacturing process and properties of a novel sound absorber with recycled fibres from End-of-Life-Tyres

[EN] The present work analyses the acoustic properties of acoustic absorbent textile products obtained from the thermo-compression of recycled End-of-Life Tyres. The objective is to obtain products of greater added value from the waste of End-of-Life Tyres, which can become a substitute for the fibrous materials currently used as acoustic absorbents. Experimental design was used to determine the number of samples to be prepared and the manufacturing conditions to maximise acoustic absorption. Five factors were taken into account: material type, temperature, time, weight and compaction factor. The obtained results demonstrate the validity of the experimental design to select the manufacturing factors in order to improve the sound absorption of these textile waste products.Segura Alcaraz, JG.; Zamorano Cantó, M.; Miró Martínez, P.; Nadal Gisbert, AV.; Crespo, J.

A Reassessment of the Kinematics of PV Cephei Based on Accurate Proper Motion Measurements

We present two Very Large Array observations of the pre-main-sequence star PV Cephei, taken with a separation of 10.5 years. These data show that the proper motions of this star are $\mu_{\alpha} = +10.9 \pm 3.0 \ mas \ yr^{-1}$; $\mu_{\delta} +0.2 \pm 1.8 \ mas \ yr^{-1}$, very similar to those – previously known – of HD 200775, the B2Ve star that dominates the illumination of the nearby reflection nebula NGC 7023. This result suggests that PV Cephei is not a rapidly moving run-away star as suggested by previous studies. The large velocity of PV Cephei had been inferred from the systematic eastward displacement of the bisectors of successive pairs of Herbig Haro knots along its flow. These systematic shifts might instead result from an intrinsic dissymmetry in the ejection mechanisms, or from an asymmetric distribution of the circumstellar material.Astronom

Consumers´ behaviour in fast-food restaurants: a food value perspective from Spain

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to understand consumers’ behaviour in fast-food restaurants in Spain. To this end, the authors conducted a survey that combined a classification of food values, as proposed in the relevant literature, with a related model that links personal values to behaviour. Design/methodology/approach – A sample of 400 consumers was gathered from two different, leading fast-food chains operating in Spain. With these data, respondents were grouped through hierarchical cluster analysis and K-measures, and in accordance with Lusk and Briggeman’s (2009) food values and the food-related lifestyle model. The authors validated these clusters by means of ANOVA and discriminant analysis, which led to useful observations about inter-group differences in consumers’ habits, as well as their satisfaction, trust and loyalty. Findings – The results indicate that consumers can be clustered into three groups based their food values assessments: the “mainly utilitarian” group, the “mainly hedonic” group and the “ethical values” group. These groups not only demonstrate diverse habits, but also differ on key variables such as satisfaction, trust and loyalty. Practical implications – The authors offer several managerial recommendations for designing and developing segmentation strategies in the fast-food industry. Any such strategies should acknowledge that all consumer groups appear to value restaurants’ efforts to provide them with both hedonic and utilitarian benefits, although the extent varies across groups. Originality/value – Among the relevant literature, this research is the only one that examines the existence of distinct consumer groups based on their food values assessments. In addition, this paper analyses inter-group differences in terms of both diverse consumptions habits ( frequency of visits, expenditure, etc.) and key marketing variables (satisfaction, trust and loyalty)
