On the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás property for numeri9cal radius in C(K) spaces

[EN] We study the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás property for numerical radius within the framework of C(K) spaces. We present several sufficient conditions on a compact space K ensuring that C(K) has the Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás property for numerical radius. In particular, we show that C(K) has such property whenever K is metrizable.Research supported by Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad and FEDER under project MTM2011-25377. A.

Ecology, ethnobotany and ethnopharmacology of Argan tree (Argania spinosa)

Argania spinosa es una especie leñosa endémica del suroeste de Marruecos que ha jugado un papel fundamental, desde un punto de vista etnobotánico, en la economía local de los pueblos bereberes. El aceite de argán se extrae de manera artesanal de los frutos de esta planta siguiendo un modelo etnográfico de gran interés. En el presente trabajo se sintetizan, mediante una profunda revisión bibliográfica, los conocimientos referidos a la ecología, etnobotánica y etnofarmacología del argán y se detallan los metabolitos implicados en sus propiedades.Este trabajo ha sido financiado por los proyectos de investigación HAR2008-06477-C03-03/HIST y HAR2008-09120/HIST (Plan Nacional de I + D + i, España), y ERC-230561 (European Commission).Peer reviewe

Tourism and the SDGs: An Analysis of Economic Growth, Decent Employment, and Gender Equality in the European Union (2009-2018)

In 2015, the United Nations (UN) approved the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development to improve the lives of countries and societies. The World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) incorporated the agenda into the tourism industry. This study has as its primary objective an exploratory analysis of tourism activity in the EU-28 countries over the decade 2009-2018 and its adaptation to the Sustainable Development Goals through the lens of employment. This study focuses on the goals of decent employment and economic growth (O8) and gender equality (O5). The results obtained suggest that, in general, the eastern countries of the EU-28 show better values for Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) (8) and SDG (5) with respect to both employment and the wage gap. However, these countries have lower GDP-weighted remunerations, which can become an opportunity to obtain higher shares of tourism activity within the EU. It is concluded that there is a need to reinforce the awareness of the fabric of the tourism business and for public administrations to favor stable and decent employment and a reduction in the current gender wage gap

A Bibliometric Analysis of Sports Tourism and Sustainability (2002-2019)

Sports tourism is a relatively recent type of tourism, which has grown significantly in recent times. Not all effects of tourism are positive, so the analysis of its sustainability has particular relevance; especially since the publication of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015. The growing concern about tourism and sustainability makes it essential to examine how scientific research has adapted to new realities. This paper uses bibliometric techniques to investigate research trends related to sports tourism and sustainability. VOSviewer and SciMAT software were used. A total of 214 articles fromWeb of Science (WoS) indexed journals were analyzed. The results confirmed that interest in the study of these concepts has been growing, especially in the last four years. This is a comparatively new field of research (since 2002), so consolidated relations between thematic areas have yet to be observed, and there is a generally low concentration of authors and journals. Increases in several publications in this area are related to the celebration of mega sporting events or the publication of SDGs. The main contribution of this analysis lies in identifying important research issues, such as education and destination planning, which should continue to be addressed

Wastewater Treatment by Advanced Oxidation Process and Their Worldwide Research Trends

Background: Water is a scarce resource and is considered a fundamental pillar of sustainable development. The modern development of society requires more and more drinking water. For this cleaner wastewater, treatments are key factors. Among those that exist, advanced oxidation processes are being researched as one of the sustainable solutions. The main objective of this manuscript is to show the scientific advances in this field. Methods: In this paper, a systematic analysis of all the existing scientific works was carried out to verify the evolution of this line of research. Results: It was observed that the three main countries researching this field are China, Spain, and the USA. Regarding the scientific collaboration between countries, three clusters were detected—one of Spain, one of China and the USA, and one of Italy and France. The publications are grouped around three types of water: industrial, urban, and drinking. Regarding the research, 15 clusters identified from the keywords analyzed the advanced oxidation process (alone or combined with biological oxidation) with the type of wastewater and the target pollutant, removal of which is intended. Finally, the most important scientific communities or clusters detected in terms of the number of published articles were those related to the elimination of pollutants of biological origin, such as bacteria, and of industrial nature, such as pesticides or pharmaceutical products

Direct analysis of volatile compounds during coffee and tea brewing with proton transfer reaction time of flight mass spectrometry

This thesis work focuses on the development of simple, fast, sensitive and reliable methods based on PTR-TOF-MS for the analysis of the volatile organic compounds responsible for coffee and tea aroma, and how they are extracted from the beans or leaves into the liquid phase. The use of multivariate methods on the dynamic data obtained increased the applicability of the methods allowing differentiation of samples according to its composition (e.g. coffee capsules), country of origin (e.g. tea origins) or the parameters used for preparation (e.g. temperature, pressure, particle size)

Análisis de la percepción turística en la región Tánger-Tetuán (Marruecos)

The aim pursued in this paper is to analyze the tourism activity of the region Tangier-Tetouan in Morocco. In addition to the study of the main available variables statistics for the region, a fieldwork has been carried out in the framework of an extensive research project on sustainable tourism, called Ibn Battouta. The values of the region have been compared with the values of other nearby areas in the Strait of Gibraltar. As a result of the analysis performed, the tourist potential of the region has been confirmed, including the sun and beach tourism. The current global situation has raised a number of questions and queries about the tendency of this activity in Morocco.Este artículo analiza la actividad turística en la región Tánger-Tetuán (Marruecos). Para ello entre otras acciones se ha realizado un estudio de las principales variables estadísticas disponibles en la zona, un trabajo de campo enmarcado dentro del proyecto de investigación sobre turismo sostenible denominado Ibn Battouta y la realización de una encuesta entre los principales sectores relacionados son las herramientas utilizadas. En este análisis se comparan los valores de la región con otras áreas cercanas dentro del Estrecho de Gibraltar
