Gap perception in bumblebees
2018
ABSTRACT A number of insects fly over long distances below the natural canopy, where the physical environment is highly cluttered consisting of obstacles of varying shape, size and texture. While navigating within such environments, animals need to perceive and disambiguate environmental features that might obstruct their flight. The most elemental aspect of aerial navigation through such environments is gap identification and ‘passability’ evaluation. We used bumblebees to seek insights into the mechanisms used for gap identification when confronted with an obstacle in their flight path and behavioral compensations employed to assess gap properties. Initially, bumblebee foragers were train…
An extensive pattern of atypical neural speech-sound discrimination in newborns at risk of dyslexia.
2019
Objective: Identifying early signs of developmental dyslexia, associated with deficient speech-sound processing, is paramount to establish early interventions. We aimed to find early speech-sound processing deficiencies in dyslexia, expecting diminished and atypically lateralized event-related potentials (ERP) and mismatch responses (MMR) in newborns at dyslexia risk. Methods: ERPs were recorded to a pseudoword and its variants (vowel-duration, vowel-identity, and syllable-frequency changes) from 88 newborns at high or no familial risk. The response significance was tested, and group, laterality, and frontality effects were assessed with repeated-measures ANOVA. Results: An early positive a…

Coupled conditional backward sampling particle filter
2020
The conditional particle filter (CPF) is a promising algorithm for general hidden Markov model smoothing. Empirical evidence suggests that the variant of CPF with backward sampling (CBPF) performs well even with long time series. Previous theoretical results have not been able to demonstrate the improvement brought by backward sampling, whereas we provide rates showing that CBPF can remain effective with a fixed number of particles independent of the time horizon. Our result is based on analysis of a new coupling of two CBPFs, the coupled conditional backward sampling particle filter (CCBPF). We show that CCBPF has good stability properties in the sense that with fixed number of particles, …

Political and institutional issues in ifrs adoption
2019
La tesis examina cómo el IASB consiguió su legitimidad (legitimidad de entrada y salida) y cómo se mantuvo esta legitimidad durante y después de la crisis financiera (2007-2008). Basándonos en el marco de legitimidad de Tamm Hallström y Boström (2010), observamos que el IASB construyó su legitimidad de entrada gracias al apoyo de varias organizaciones internacionales y organismos reguladores relevantes (G20, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, Basel Committee, IOSCO y IFAC), así como por el compromiso de las partes interesadas de diferentes jurisdicciones, que compartían la visión global de las normas contables, como es el caso de la UE. Con respecto a la legitimidad de salida del IASB…

La reproducción asistida y la filiación. Especial referencia al caso de las parejas de mujeres homosexuales
2018
This paper analyses, in general, the evolution that has had the art. 7.3 LTRHA since its introduction by the Act 3/2007, 15 march. In that way, it shows which has been the legislator´s solution about the use of assisted reproduction tecniques by homosexual women couples. Likewise, it studies which resolutions on the matter have been more relevant in the last years. All this, to set out the legislator´s failure and the need to reformulate the filiation regime in face of the challenge that assisted reproduction implies.
El fomento de la mediación y de otros medios alternativos de justicia (también) en relación con la sustracción internacional de menores en Europa
2021
El decidido fomento de la mediación y de otros instrumentos MASC en el ámbito del Derecho de familia internacional constituye una constante, en los últimos tiempos, en el panorama comparado internacional. También en relación con aquellas disputas que involucran a menores. La UE no es ajena a este proceso y contribuye decididamente a éste. Aunque persisten dudas sobre la virtualidad real de estos mecanismos en la práctica diaria internacional.
