Un avance trascendental para la extinción del contrato de las empleadas del hogar: El Real Decreto-Ley 16/2022, de 6 de septiembre
(Real Colegio Universitario María Cristina, 2025-02-17) Ayala del Pino , Cristina
El Real Decreto-Ley 16/2022, de 6 de septiembre ha supuesto un gran cambio en materia de extinción del contrato de las empleadas del hogar. El desistimiento ya no existe y el despido improcedente deja de ser más económico. No obstante, había cuestiones jurídicas importantes, en relación con los efectos del despido y la compatibilidad de las causas del artículo 49 del Estatuto de los Trabajadores con esta relación laboral especial, que debían haber sido resueltas por nuestro Gobierno. Por otra parte, al desaparecer el desistimiento y crearse unas nuevas causas objetivas de extinción del contrato en el artículo 11.2 del reglamento es necesario mejorar el régimen de servicio del hogar familiar para que sea lógico y adecuado
Does Gender Influence the Learning Process of Computational Thinking in Secondary Education?
(Elsevier, 2025-05-19) García-Pérez, Lía; Cañas, José M.; Roldán-Álvarez, David
The gender gap in STEM disciplines both in the workplace and in university education is still a reality. Computational thinking (CT) is deeply related to these disciplines. CT is fundamental to problem-solving and critical thinking, skills that are core to STEM disciplines. CT involves skills like algorithmic thinking, pattern recognition, and abstraction, all of which are necessary for tasks in fields such as engineering, computer science, mathematics, and science. It is important to understand gender differences, if any, in the acquisition of CT skills, so that we can develop more effective teaching strategies for all. This study analyses the gender differences in the development of CT skills (measured with a standard test) in 149 students of a Spanish secondary school, in three courses between 12 and 14 years old, before and after classroom work sessions with a 3D robotics simulator. In the empirical evidence a relevant a priori gender difference was detected in the first course, likely related with prior experiences on computer programming, but boys and girls finish the first year with similar CT levels. Disparate results appear for second year (male students improve more) and third year (female students improve more) which demands further study.
Synthesis of ZIF-8 and ZIF-L on carbon fiber fabric for supercapacitor structural electrodes
(Wiley, 2025-05-02) Artigas-Arnaudas, Joaquín; Sánchez, María; Ureña, Alejandro
One potential solution to the problem of energy storage in certain transportation vehicles is the development of multifunctional materials. Specifically, structural supercapacitors offer a combination of mechanical strength and energy storage capabilities, which could replace vehicle components and reduce overall vehicle weight. However, structural electrodes made from carbon fiber face a significant limitation due to their low specific surface area. This study examines the direct synthesis of metal-organic frameworks on the surface of carbon fibers. Structures such as ZIF-8 and ZIF-L can be easily synthesized from the same metal-organic precursors and exhibit high surface areas, making them ideal for this application. Both ZIF structures form a continuous coating on the carbon fiber, increasing the specific surface area of the electrodes. For the ZIF-8 structure, the coating achieves a thickness of 1 μm and a specific surface area of 30.24 m2/g. In contrast, the sheet-like geometry of the ZIF-L results in greater thicknesses, though with a lower specific surface area of only 0.7 m2/g. The potential use of these electrodes in supercapacitor devices has been demonstrated through the assembly of structural supercapacitors with a polymeric solid electrolyte. The supercapacitor with ZIF-8 electrodes has achieved a specific capacitance of 7.78 mF/g. Despite the limitations associated with internal resistance, all structural electrodes have shown stability over charge and discharge cycles.
Influence of the heat treatment on the MOF-derived Co3O4 coatings on carbon fiber fabrics used for structural supercapacitor applications
(Elsevier, 2025-05-22) González-Banciella, Andrés; Martinez-Diaz, David; Artigas-Arnaudas, J.; Vázquez , Mario V.; Sánchez , María; Ureña , Alejandro
Currently, electric vehicles have emerged as a cleaner alternative to their fossil-fuel counterparts. However, their features, especially their autonomy, are still far from what is expected. In this way, the development of structural supercapacitors based on multifunctional composite materials is being studied as a promising approach for reducing the weight of electric vehicles, which is essential to improve their energetic efficiency. Carbon fibers could serve the dual function of electrodes and reinforcements due to their high electrical conductivity and excellent specific mechanical properties. In this study, Co3O4 has been synthesized directly over a structural carbon fiber fabric using the ZIF-L metal-organic framework (MOF) as a precursor. Moreover, the influence of the temperature and time in the annealing and oxidation stages on the performance of fibers as an electrode for structural supercapacitors have been studied. The optimized coating exhibited a specific capacitance of 456.5 F/g of active material at a current density of 50 mA/g, demonstrating the significant impact of heat treatment on the MOF-derived Co3O4 coating. Moreover, a symmetric structural supercapacitor was fabricated, displaying a specific capacitance of 13.71 mF/g and an elastic modulus of 35 GPa. Additionally, this supercapacitor exhibited excellent mechanical properties and promising electrochemical properties compared to the existing bibliography.

Analysis of the Efficacy of Mindfulness Meditation in a Mutual Aid Group for Bipolar Disorder
(Colegio Oficial de la Psicología de Madrid, 2024-04-23) Burgos-Julian, Francisco A.; Díaz-Silveira, Cintia; Ruiz-Íñiguez, Raquel; Santed-Germán, Miguel Angel
Background: The bipolar disorder (BD) is a severe, disabling mental disorder characterized by phases of mania, hypomania, or depression. The present quasi-experimental study of 21 BD patients (Mage = 44 years, SD = 11.45, 6% women) compared the efficacy of a mutual aid group (MAG) with a MAG that followed a mindfulness-based intervention (MAG+M) over 6 weeks. Method: Both groups were evaluated pre-test and post-test with the following variables: depression, mania, anxiety, mindfulness, and psychological acceptance. Results: Pretest and post-test intragroup analyses showed that MAG+M improved significantly in measures of depression (z = -2.31, p = .02) and trait anxiety (z = -2.43, p = .01), while MAG did not improve in any of the measures. There were no statistically significant differences between groups in the post-test. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that mindfulness meditation may improve symptoms of depression and anxiety in a MAG for BD patients.
Eco-anxiety or simply eco-worry? Incremental validity study in a representative Spanish sample
(Frontiers Media, 2025-04-10) Vecina, María Luisa; Alonso-Ferres, María; Díaz-Silveira, Cintia
Scientific literature is keen to promote the study of eco-anxiety despite its current low prevalence and inconsistent relationships with pro-environmental behavior and mental health. In this paper, we analyze in a representative sample of the Spanish population (N = 1911) the incremental validity of the eco-worry construct concerning that of eco-anxiety at three levels of environmental commitment: high (environmental activists), medium (people who are not part of any environmental organization but who would like to), and low (people who neither belong to environmental groups nor want to). Our results showed that (1) the environmental activists in our sample did not seem to be eco-anxious but rather eco-worried, and (2) at the three levels of environmental commitment, eco-worry but not ecoanxiety positively mediated the relationship between climate change perception and general willingness for environmental behavior, and eco-worry, but not ecoanxiety, positively connected with life satisfaction through the general willingness to behave pro-environmentally. It is concluded that eco-anxiety does not add anything to the more intuitive and non-pathological concept of eco-worry, except for the alarm signal, which is not at all strategic when the goal is to promote individual pro-environmental behaviors and collective social actions.
Mindfulness trait and the potential mediating role of emotional regulation strategies in bipolar disorder
(Universidad de Murcia, 2024-03-04) Burgos-Julian, Francisco A.; Díaz-Silveira, Cintia; Ruiz-Íñiguez, Raquel; Santed Germán, Miguel Ángel
Introduction: This cross-sectional study investigates the association between the main symptoms of Bipolar disorder (BD) and emotional regulation difficulties in adaptive and maladaptive emotional regulation strategies (ERS). In addition, this study examines the possible mediating effects of ERS with dispositional mindfulness and bipolar symptoms. Method: Twenty-four adults diagnosed with BD completed the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II), the Altman Mania Self-Assessment Scale (ARSM), the Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-R), and the Cognitive Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ). Results: First, multiple regression analysis showed how depression was significantly positively related to self-blame, whereas trait anxiety was positively associated with self-blame and catastrophizing. Second, the results of the mediation analysis have shown a significant mediation effect for the self-blame in the relationship between mindfulness and depression (a*b = -.15; BCI 95% (-.36, -.03)) and between mindfulness and trait anxiety (a*b = -.09; BCI 95% (-.27, -.01)). Conclusions: Our results report the role of self-blame and catastrophizing in BD and how these might significantly mediate between dispositional mindfulness and symptoms of depression and anxiety. These results suggest that a meditation practice focused on reducing catastrophizing and self-blame may be especially helpful for symptoms of depression and anxiety in bipolar patients.
What Drives Pro-Environmental Behavior? Investigating the Role of Eco-Worry and Eco-Anxiety in Young Adults
(MDPI, 2025-05-16) López-García, Laura; Latorre, Felisa; Vecina, María Luisa; Díaz-Silveira, Cintia
Climate change (CC) is one of the most urgent challenges of our time. Research suggests that pro-environmental behaviors (PEB) are essential to address this crisis, encompassing sustainable consumption (e.g., recycling or saving energy) and active participation (e.g., protesting or donating). In this regard, young adults play a significant role as change agents. Considering the previous literature affirming the importance of CC emotions on PEB, this study aims to analyze the mediating role of eco-worry and eco-anxiety in the relationship between two cognitive antecedents (general willingness to behave proenvironmentally and CC agency) and two types of PEB (sustainable consumption and active participation). To do so, we gathered a sample of 308 young adults aged 18 to 30 years. Results show that eco-worry mediates the relationships between both antecedents (willingness and CC agency) with sustainable consumption and active participation. In contrast, eco-anxiety in young adults only mediates the relationship between CC agency and active participation. Our findings suggest that eco-worry plays a crucial role in promoting PEB more broadly, while eco-anxiety appears to be only relevant in influencing active participation. These results contrast with others observed in the adult population, so further studies are needed to confirm these findings.
Batallas y trabajos de amor perdido. Jorge Juan 55 como mercancía crítica = Battles and Love's Labour's Lost. Jorge Juan 55 as a critical commodity
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2025-04-30) García-Asenjo Llana, David; Echarte Ramos, Jose María
El presente artículo analiza la condición bifronte de la narrativa disciplinar sobre el proyecto de arquitectura. Por un lado, la necesaria regulación técnica a la que la arquitectura debe su condición de profesión reglada en España demanda un componente de servicio claro. Por otro, la tradición secular de la arquitectura española ha sido siempre más próxima a la interpretación artística del proyecto. En este sentido, cabe introducir en este debate la consideración contemporánea sobre el trabajo intelectual, sobre el trabajo artístico y su transformación en mercancía y, en definitiva, sobre si esta puede aislarse del mercado de intercambio capitalista para convertirse en un objeto crítico, incómodo y contestatario. Las especiales características de la obra de Francisco Alonso de Santos en el local de la calle Jorge Juan 55, en Madrid, lo convierten en el caso de estudio principal de esta investigación en la que, a través del acceso a documentación fotográfica y proyectual nunca antes publicada, se analiza la dualidad entre el arquitecto y el artista y la relación, siempre en el eje del debate disciplinar, entre los arquitectos, sus clientes y las obras en las que se encuentran, sea como campos de batalla o como trabajos de amor perdidos.
Biodiversity and Management as Central Players in the Network of Relationships Underlying Forest Resilience
(Wiley, 2025-05-12) Hurtado, Pilar; Espelta, Josep Maria; Jaime, Luciana; Martínez-Vilalta, Jordi; Kokolaki, Manto Samou; Lindner, Marcus; Lloret, Francisco
Global change is threatening the integrity of forest ecosystems worldwide, amplifying the need for resilience-based management to ensure their conservation and sustain the services they provide. Yet, current efforts are still limited by the lack of implementation of clear frameworks for operationalizing resilience in decision-making processes. To overcome this limitation, we aim to identify reliable and effective drivers of forest resilience, considering their synergies and trade-offs. From a comprehensive review of 342 scientific articles addressing resilience in forests globally, we identified factors shaping forest resilience. We recognized them into two categories that influence forest responses to disturbances: resilience predictors, which can be modified through management, and codrivers, which are measurable but largely unmanageable (e.g., climate). We then performed network analyses based on predictors and codrivers underlying forest resilience. In total, we recognized 5332 such relationships linking predictors or codrivers with forest attributes resilience. Our findings support the central role of biodiversity, with mixed, non-planted, or functionally diverse forests promoting resilience across all contexts and biomes. While management also enhanced resilience, the success of specific interventions was highly context-dependent, suggesting that its application requires a careful analysis of trade-offs. Specifically, practices like cutting and prescribed burning generally enhanced resilience in terms of tree growth, plant diversity, landscape vegetation cover, and stand structure. In contrast, pest and herbivore control reduced the resilience of plant taxonomic diversity while offering only minimal gains for other variables. Even long-term restoration projects showed clear trade-offs in the resilience of different forest attributes, highlighting the need for careful consideration of these effects in practical management decisions. Overall, we emphasize that a reduced number of predictors can be used to effectively promote forest resilience across most attributes. Particularly, enhancing biodiversity and implementing targeted management strategies when biodiversity is impoverished emerge as powerful tools to promote forest resilience.
Anguish as a Form of Resistance: Ignacio Doménech’s Cocina de Recursos (Deseo mi comida) in Civil War Spain
(OpenEdition, 2025-05-15) Acosta Meneses, María Yanet
In 1940, Cocina de recursos (Deseo mi comida) was published in Spain by Ignacio Doménech, one of the most prestigious Spanish chefs before the Civil War. Doménech worked with the great Auguste Escoffier at the legendary Savoy Hotel in London before his return to Spain for work in his own food book company. This autobiographical cookbook carries a profound sense of suffering and resistance, not only because of the hardships the author endured during the war but also, as María Paz Moreno (2012) suggests, through a reading between the lines that reveals the book’s underlying message at the time of its publication, during the post-war period.
Inteligencias múltiples, educación en valores y los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible. Análisis desde una perspectiva social e interdisciplina
(Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociología, Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia, 2021-05-21) Chavarría Pérez , Cristina; Ruiz Simón, Esther
El presente artículo aborda la relación entre educación en valores, inteligencias múltiples y los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) desde una perspectiva interdisciplinar, transdisciplinar y transversal. Partiendo de la premisa de que los retos sociales, éticos y ambientales que enfrenta la humanidad requieren respuestas educativas integrales y complejas, se argumenta que la teoría de las inteligencias múltiples (Gardner, 1983, 1999) ofrece una base pedagógica sólida para promover aprendizajes significativos, inclusivos y vinculados a la realidad global. Asimismo, se deja ver la necesidad de integrar los valores universales presentes en los ODS dentro de una educación que articule distintas disciplinas y saberes. Se analiza cómo la interdisciplinariedad y la transversalidad constituyen enfoques pedagógicos imprescindibles para conectar los contenidos impartidos en las aulas con los grandes desafíos de la sociedad actual. Finalmente, se destaca el papel fundamental del profesorado como mediador en este proceso, enfatizando la urgencia de un cambio educativo profundo que contribuya a la formación de ciudadanos críticos, comprometidos y capaces de actuar de manera ética en un mundo diverso y complejo.
Moderating Effect of Family Function Between Dysfunctional Thoughts and Emotional Distress in Dementia Caregivers: Kinship Differences
(Wiley, 2025-03-15) Huertas-Domingo, Cristina; Losada-Baltar, Andrés; Pillemer, Karl; Czaja, Sara J.; Jiménez-Gonzalo, Lucía; Fernándes-Pires, José Adrián; Márquez-González, María
Caring for a family member with dementia impacts caregivers' mental health. Daughters who provide care seem to be particularly affected due to their multiple roles. The study analyzed the role of dysfunctional thoughts and family function for understanding caregivers' depressive and anxiety symptoms, focusing on the potential moderating effect of family function in the relationship between dysfunctional thoughts and distress. In addition, it examined potential differences in the obtained associations considering the kinship relationship. A total of 278 family caregivers of people with dementia were divided into four groups (wives, husbands, daughters, sons). Sociodemographic variables, family obligations, dysfunctional thoughts, frequency and discomfort associated with problematic behaviors, family function, anxious symptomatology, and depressive symptomatology were assessed. Regression analyses revealed that the moderating effect of family function was significant only for daughters. For depressive symptomatology, the model explained 28.6% of the variance for daughters, showing that high levels of dysfunctional thoughts were associated with increased depressive symptoms when family function was low or intermediate (p < 0.001), but not when it was high. Similarly, for anxious symptomatology, the model explained 23.9% of the variance for daughters, with dysfunctional thoughts again associated with higher anxiety symptoms when family function was low or intermediate (p < 0.001), but not significantly when family function was high. These findings suggest that a well-functioning family may buffer the negative impact of rigid caregiving beliefs, particularly for daughters. The results highlight the importance of interventions aimed at improving family dynamics to enhance caregivers' well-being.

La arquitectura sesgada por la luz. Incidencia de la luz en las obras de Alvar Aalto, Frank Lloyd Wright y Miguel Fisac. Un análisis descriptivo, observacional y comparativo
(2020) Culebras Cepeda, Jorge
En el siguiente artículo se analiza, describe y compara las investigaciones realizadas por tres arquitectos; Alvar Aalto, Frank Lloyd Wright y, Miguel Fisac, en relación con la incidencia de la luz en el interior de las edificaciones. Para ello, se han escogido respectivamente tres obras arquitectónicas; Biblioteca Viipuri, Johnson-Wax y el Centro de Estudios Hidrográficos de Madrid, cuyos planteamientos proyectuales se encuentran íntegramente relacionados con la entrada de luz natural en la edificación y que además, son de tipología distinta. El texto desarrollado se apoya principalmente en documentación gráfica y referencias bibliográficas precisas de estas tres obras arquitectónicas. La investigación tiene como finalidad examinar, a través de la equiparación de las obras, los elementos arquitectónicos participes en la entrada de la iluminación. El artículo se encuentra estructurado en cinco apartados, cuatro analíticos y uno de conclusión, que oscilan desde una perspectiva global, a las especificaciones de cada obra. En el primero, se sitúan las obras en el contexto histórico_social_arquitectónico atendiendo a la repercusión de los arquitectos y sus influencias para el planteamiento arquitectónico; el segundo apartado, indaga en la parte técnica de cada elemento investigado, entendiendo a estos, como una unidad de piezas conectadas entre sí; en el tercero se analiza la luz como elemento organizador del espacio de las diferentes estancias de cada obra arquitectónica, descubriendo que otros elementos pueden influir; por último, el cuarto, profundiza mediante la equiparación de los diversos aspectos estudiados las posibles variantes que se le pueden aplicar a los elementos a modo de justificación. Todo lo descrito permite justificar el impacto que estos elementos arquitectónicos han causado con el paso del tiempo, de los que han sido participes de estudio por su complejidad constructiva y aporte espacial.
Reevaluating Sociodemographic Influences on the Collaborative Economy: Fresh Insights for Emerging Business Models in the European Union
(Wiley, 2025-03-28) Pérez-Pérez, Cristina; Murillo-Ramos, Lydia; González-Torres, Thais; Benito-Osorio, Diana
This study examines how sociodemographic factors influence engagement with the Collaborative Economy within the European Union, analyzing data from Flash Eurobarometer 467. Employing hierarchical clustering and multiple regression analyses, we explore the perceived advantages of Collaborative Economy participation across diverse demographic profiles. The findings reveal nuanced motivational patterns, with younger users emphasizing cost savings and flexibility, while older adults prioritize trust and community connections. Socioeconomic barriers, including technological hesitancy and limited rural infrastructure, hinder broader adoption. These insights inform targeted strategies to enhance participation and design inclusive platforms, advancing sustainable consumption models.
A critical non-homogeneous heat equation with weighted source
(Cambridge University Press, 2025-03-06) Iagar, Razvan Gabriel; Sánchez, Ariel
Some qualitative properties of radially symmetric solutions to the non-homogeneous heat equation with critical density and weighted source |x|−2∂tu=Δu+|x|σup,(x,t)∈RN×(0,T), are obtained, in the range of exponents p>1 , σ≥−2 . More precisely, we establish conditions fulfilled by the initial data in order for the solutions to either blow-up in finite time or decay to zero as t→∞ and, in the latter case, we also deduce decay rates and large time behavior. In the limiting case σ=−2, we prove the existence of non-trivial, non-negative solutions, in stark contrast to the homogeneous case. A transformation to a generalized Fisher–KPP equation is derived and employed in order to deduce these properties.
Phylogenetic study of the Cladonia cervicornis group (Cladoniaceae, Lecanorales) discloses a new species, Cladonia teuvoana
(Cambridge University Press, 2024-12-12) Pino-Bodas, Raquel; Herrero, Alberto; Aptroot, André; Søchting, Ulrik; McMullin, Richard Troy; Burgaz, Ana Rosa
The Cladonia cervicornis group comprises lichen-forming fungi characterized by having scyphi with central proliferations. It includes c. 20 species globally. The taxonomy of this group is poorly resolved, with many species not thoroughly disentangled. The focus of this study is the European species in the C. cervicornis group. In order to estimate the phylogenetic relationships of these species, six loci were used: ITS rDNA, IGS rDNA, RPB1, RPB2, ef1α and cox1. Species delimitation methods (ASAP, PTP and GMYC) were used to infer the species boundaries based on four loci, ITS rDNA, IGS rDNA, cox1 and RPB2. A morphological analysis based on multivariate methods was performed to assess the importance of phenotypic differences among the lineages. The phylogenetic reconstructions placed the species of this group in the subclade Cladonia. Five lineages were recovered, corresponding to C. cervicornis, C. macrophyllodes, C. pulvinata, C. verticillata and a new lineage that we describe here, C. teuvoana. Our analyses revealed that Cladonia cineracea, C. stricta and C. trassii are polyphyletic.
Self-perceptions of Aging and Distress in Middle-aged and Older Adults. The Role of Perceived Control and Pleasant Activities
(Cambridge University Press, 2025-04-08) García-García, Laura; Fernandes-Pires, José Adrián; Márquez-González, María; Pedroso-Chaparro, María del Sequeros; Benito-Rincón, Claudia; Pérez-Cardona, Luis Manuel; Losada-Baltar, Andrés
Previous studies have shown the importance of self-perceptions of aging in predicting psychological distress throughout the life cycle. However, little is known about the processes through which self-perceptions of aging influence distress. The aim of the present study is to analyze the potential indirect effects of perceived control and pleasant activities in the association between self-perceptions of aging and depression and anxiety symptoms in middle-aged and older adults. A total of 315 people over 40 years of age (Mage = 58.8; SD = 10.8; 67.9% women) participated. Two indirect effects analysis models were conducted in serial with the aim of analyzing the role of perceived control and pleasant activities in the relationship between the self-perceptions of aging and depressive (model 1) and anxiety (model 2) symptomatology. A direct effect was observed between self-perceptions of aging and depressive, and anxious symptomatology. In addition, indirect associations through the variables perceived control and pleasant activities were significant. The tested models explained 46.1% of the variance in depressive symptomatology and 34.8% of the variance in anxiety. The results of this study confirm the association between self-perceptions of aging and psychological distress. This association is exerted through lower perception of control and fewer pleasant activities. Interventions aimed at promoting effective coping strategies that favor perceived control, activity and emotional well-being should include a module on identifying and modifying of negative self-perceptions of aging in middle-aged and older adults.
