Brewer's spent grains as biofuels in combustion-based energy recovery processes: Evaluation of thermo-oxidative decomposition
2022
[EN] The high global generation of wastes and side streams from agri-food production has led to environmental impact and causes nature degradation due to their uncontrolled management. These wastes are profitable materials with significant economic value that could otherwise be exploited as new sources in the feed industry or the production of bioenergy. Among them, brewer¿s spent grain (BSG) is a solid by-product generated in the beerbrewing process that consists of the barley grain husks together with parts of the pericarp and seed coat layer. Although it is rich in fibres and proteins, its main use is currently limited to animal feed or simply deposition to landfills. This study pursues …
La dimensió social i la innovació en l'EEES
2009
El texto presenta la dimensión social del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior vinculándola al desarrollo de todo el proceso de Bolonia, y estableciendo también la relación dicrecta entre tal dimensión social y el modelo de Innovación Educativa que deben asumir las universidades públicas en la sociedad del conocimiento.
Assessing supply chain risks in the automotive industry through a modified MCDM-based FMECA
2020
Supply chains are complex networks that receive assiduous attention in the literature. Like any complex network, a supply chain is subject to a wide variety of risks that can result in significant economic losses and negative impacts in terms of image and prestige for companies. In circumstances of aggressive competition among companies, effective management of supply chain risks (SCRs) is crucial, and is currently a very active field of research. Failure Mode, Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) has been recently extended to SCR identification and prioritization, aiming at reducing potential losses caused by lack of risk control. This article has a twofold objective. First, SCR assess…
Transformando las prácticas de evaluación en las agencias de innovación para fomentar transiciones hacia la sostenibilidad
2019
The aim of the study is to identify different styles and practices for evaluation of innovation policies based on different orientations, focusing on the case of the paradigm of transformative change to foster transitions towards sustainability, and the problems associated with its application. The study is exploratory, and it uses public funding agencies for innovation as strategic research settings. Based on the information provided by the experience of an international consortium participated by funding agencies from different countries, the main concepts and problems presented in the theoretical debate are illustrated. Finally, the main contributions of the study to the theory and pract…
Consumer Demand for Environmental, Social, and Ethical Information in Fishery and Aquaculture Product Labels
2022
[EN] Customers' attention to sustainability labels in fishery and aquaculture products (FAPs) has been increasing in the last decades, and the industry has adapted to this growing interest by adopting fish ecolabels. However, there is a growing interest to widen the sustainability concept to include the social and ethical information of the fishery and aquaculture industry and to go further from the voluntary approach on the labeling of these aspects in FAPs. For this reason, using data from 2021 Eurobarometer and using machine learning techniques, we disentangle the characteristics of the FAP buyers that consider the importance of environmental impact, ethical, and social information appea…
El método MercatorGis. Un primer acercamiento
2021
The digital competence related to the use of a Geographic Information System (GIS) is usually seen as very complex, difficult and is an issue that is not taken into account although it is very important in the representation and understanding of phenomena, not only geographic ones: the The very term Geographic Information System encompasses the integration of very diverse areas. The theme fits perfectly with the objectives of this symposium since, according to the definition drawn up by the National Center of Geographic Information and Analysis, GIS serves "to solve complex planning and management problems". In fact, the GIS is today one of the most modern and effective tools in the tourism…
La collaboration avec la recherche universitaire vue de l’entreprise. Quelques résultats d’enquêtes dans les secteurs des technologies optoélectroniq…
2011
Analysant les caractéristiques de la demande de connaissances externes des entreprises en fonction de leurs régimes d’innovation, l’article s’intéresse plus particulièrement au rôle donné à la recherche universitaire dans les stratégies d’innovation des entreprises. Les résultats tirés d'enquêtes auprès d’entreprises britanniques et françaises, développant des composants optoélectroniques, mettent en évidence l’existence de deux catégories de recherche : la R-D sur financement propre qui est liée aux objectifs à court terme, et la R-D à moyen et long terme qui dépend du financement externe. La participation de la recherche universitaire à la recherche à court terme de l’entreprise prend la …
Innovación y equipos docentes. Una aproximación desde "Estructura Social i Imaginació Sociològica"
2011
En este artículo se describe la experiencia llevada a cabo desde el Proyecto de Innovación Educativa Estructura Social i Imaginació Sociològica durante el curso académico 2008/2009. Analíticamente, esta descripción se enmarca en una perspectiva crítica del proceso de trabajo seguido por el profesorado que ha participado en el Proyecto y tiende a resaltar la necesidad de favorecer contextos académicos en los que la actividad docente pueda desarrollarse de forma cooperativa en equipos que tengan como horizonte el largo plazo.

Triblock SEBS/DVB crosslinked and sulfonated membranes: Fuel cell performance and conductivity
2021
[EN] A set of styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene triblock copolymer (SEBS) membranes with 10 or 25 wt.% divinyl-benzene (DVB) as a crosslinking agent were prepared and validated. Physicochemical characterization revealed suitable hydrolytic and thermal stability of photo-crosslinked membranes containing 25%wt. DVB and post-sulfonated. These compositions were evaluated in H2/O2 single cells, and electrical and proton conductivities were furtherly assessed. The membranes with the milder post-sulfonation showed greater proton conductivity than those with excessive sulfonation. In terms of electrical conductivity, a universal power law was applied, and the values obtained were low enough for bei…
