The many faces of human sociality: uncovering the distribution and stability of social preferences
2018
There is vast heterogeneity in the human willingness to weigh others' interests in decision making. This heterogeneity concerns the motivational intricacies as well as the strength of other-regarding behaviors, and raises the question how one can parsimoniously model and characterize heterogeneity across several dimensions of social preferences while still being able to predict behavior over time and across situations. We tackle this task with an experiment and a structural model of preferences that allows us to simultaneously estimate outcome-based and reciprocity-based social preferences. We find that non-selfish preferences are the rule rather than the exception. Neither at the level of …
Safety Protocols for Forensic Inspections in the Time of COVID-19: An Approach to Protect Practitioners
2022
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire world in ways that were unimaginable in 2019. It has changed how professionals work and interact with one another. To ensure the safety of experts and attorneys, forensic inspection procedures must evolve while still providing a reliable foundation for expert testimony. Traditional field inspections require attendees to be physically present and in generally close proximity. Inspecting artifacts may also require that individual components be serially examined by multiple experts, which increases the risk of transmitting the disease. The authors propose a new approach to forensic inspections aimed at protecting consultants from the biological ris…
Effects of elastic-based exercise interventions on oxidative stress, bone health, body composition, neuromuscular strength and physical function in o…
2021
Antecedentes El envejecimiento de la población mundial es reconocido por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) como un problema principal debido a las discapacidades y comorbilidades relacionadas con este proceso, siendo las mujeres el género más afectado. Debido al deterioro y las consecuencias asociadas al envejecimiento, la actividad física y el ejercicio han demostrado ser estrategias eficaces para reducir el impacto del envejecimiento. Sin embargo, todavía se desconoce qué tipo de programa de entrenamiento podría ser el más eficaz para revertir los cambios deletéreos relacionados con la edad en mujeres mayores. En este sentido, el tipo de intensidad del entrenamiento y la modalidad…
La sentencia y su ejecución en el proyecto dominicano de ley sobre control judicial de la administración pública
2021
The regime of the execution of the sentence is analyzed, starting from the powers of declarative and executive substitution of the contentious-administrative judge. It begins with the reference to the constitutional guidelines of the administrative process. Then, the different modalities of judicial substitution are described in the types of sentences (declarative, constitutive and conviction) regulated in the project, to then refer to the regime of executive seizure of public goods. It ends by describing: the powers granted to the judge to agree indirect measures that assist with the execution of the judgment, the cases of impossibility of execution and the extension of the sentence to thi…
Aprenentatge basat en projectes: aproximació a l'ensenyament de sistemes de potència de gas i vapor
2014
L’objectiu d’aquest treball és presentar l’experiència i els resultats derivats de l’aplicació del mètode d’aprenentatge basat en projectes (PBL) de l’assignatura de Termotècnia de la titulació d’Enginyeria Química de la Universitat del País Basc/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea. Després d’un anàlisi crític dels resultats acadèmics dels alumnes que aprenen motors tèrmics, s’observa que l’estratègia d’ensenyament-aprenentatge tradicional, basat en classes magistrals + classes d’aplicació en una llista d’exercicis (totalment acotats i amb una solució única), està fallant. Davant d’aquesta situació, es planteja un enfoc constructivista centrat en l’alumne perquè ell mateix construeixi el seu apre…
Water Supply in Rwanda Use of Photovoltaic Systems for Irrigation
2015
The current energy situation in the world where most of the energy needed is generated from non-renewable sources such as fossil fuels is no longer sustainable. During few years, nonrenewable sources have become an interesting solution to provide energy to areas with small needs of electricity, rather than using non-renewable sources. Therefore, this project has pursued to implement photovoltaics panels to supply energy in a rural region in central Africa, contributing to the development of the area and proving that this technology is viable to pump water for irrigation instead of the conventional electric grid. A rural area between Kidogo Lake and Rilima town, in Bugesera district of Rwand…
Caracterización de las técnicas de nado a través del análisis de la aceleración 3D
2015
El objetivo de este estudio era caracterizar la aceleración en el dominio temporal y frecuencial en los cuatro estilos de nado. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 75 sujetos (39 del género masculino y 36 del género femenino), que realizaron cuatro repeticiones de 25 metros a máxima velocidad una cada uno de los estilos. Se utilizó un acelerómetro tri-axial con una sensibilidad de 10g y una precisión de 1000Hz, situado en la zona lumbar del nadador. Se seleccionaron los 6 segundos centrales del registro de aceleración. Las variables independientes fueron el estilo de nado y el género. En cuanto a las variables dependientes se analizaron las cíclicas (velocidad de nado, frecuencia de ciclo y lon…
Overview of the JET preparation for deuterium-tritium operation with the ITER like-wall
2019
Documento escrito por un elevado número de autores/as, sólo se referencia el/la que aparece en primer lugar y los/as autores/as pertenecientes a la UC3M For the past several years, the JET scientific programme (Pamela et al 2007 Fusion Eng. Des. 82 590) has been engaged in a multi-campaign effort, including experiments in D, H and T, leading up to 2020 and the first experiments with 50%/50% D–T mixtures since 1997 and the first ever D–T plasmas with the ITER mix of plasma-facing component materials. For this purpose, a concerted physics and technology programme was launched with a view to prepare the D–T campaign (DTE2). This paper addresses the key elements developed by the JET programme d…

HUMAN SAFETY PERFORMANCE IN HIGH RELIABILITY ORGANIZATIONS: THE CASE OF THE NUCLEAR INDUSTRY
2018
Over the last few decades, the study of safety in high reliability organizations has not paid enough attention to the human role and its contribution to a reliable operation. Therefore, the literature about human safety performance is scarce and disjointed. The present paper integrates the existing knowledge on workers’ safety performance in high risk industries, specifically in the nuclear industry. In order to do this, we provide a literature review in which the concept of “safety performance” is clarified, and at the same time, we present the most recent research studies and models on this concept.
