Desde la disciplina del marketing, esta monografía de investigación pretende estudiar cuál es el nivel de lealtad de la marca de la bebida “Aquarius”. Para ello, se ha aplicado la técnica de la encuesta a una muestra aleatoria de 100 estudiantes de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Comunicación del Campus de Fuenlabrada de la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos de Madrid. Los resultados encontrados en este trabajo indican que “Aquarius” se mantiene todavía relacionada con las bebidas reconstituyentes, con una percepción en torno a la salud, con un alto grado de recomendación, y con un nivel de lealtad relativamente medio. = From the discipline of marketing, this research tries to study which is the level of brand loyalty for the drink “Aquarius”. Thus, it has been applied the survey technique to a random sample of 100 students of the Faculty of Communication Sciences in the Fuenlabrada Campus of the University Rey Juan Carlos (Madrid). The findings of this work indicate that “Aquarius” still stays related to drinks tonics, with a perception around the health, a high degree of recommendation, and with a relatively medium loyalty level.

Las redes sociales son tan antiguas como las relaciones entre los humanos, ya que las labores de cooperación siempre fueron imprescindibles en los procesos de asociación, tanto los formados por simples células hasta los constituidos por seres vivos. La sociedad está formada por una gran cantidad de situaciones que fomentan dicha colaboración. Desde la creación del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior se ha promovido la utilización de entornos virtuales de aprendizaje que favorezcan una evaluación más transparente y objetiva. Las redes sociales online son las interfaces digitales más utilizadas por los estudiantes universitarios, por lo que son muchos los expertos que recomiendan analizar la utilidad educativa de este tipo de aplicaciones. Siguiendo estas recomendaciones se implementó una red social online, llamada Formatio, que se utilizó para apoyar el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje en la educación superior. El objetivo general de esta tesis doctoral fue valorar el nivel de aceptación de este entorno virtual de aprendizaje para los estudiantes universitarios que participaron en este estudio. Para evaluar el uso de la plataforma se analizaron las actividades generadas por los 172 estudiantes, seleccionados aleatoriamente, matriculados en la asignatura de Estadística y TIC en el curso 2010/2011, del Grado en Ciencias de la Actividad Física y el Deporte. Con el objetivo de estimar la utilidad educativa de las redes sociales online se diseñó y validó el instrumento de Valoración de Recursos Educativos Online (VREO), que fue aplicado a otra muestra aleatoria de 452 estudiantes de la misma facultad durante el curso 2011/2012. Los resultados confirman el éxito de este tipo de espacios virtuales gracias a la alta frecuencia de uso conseguida y a las buenas puntuaciones obtenidas por los alumnos, quienes tienen una buena opinión sobre las ventajas de usar las redes sociales online en la educación superior. De todos los recursos analizados la red social online Formatio ha sido la opción mejor valorada, seguida de Moodle y Facebook en segundo y tercer lugar, y de Twitter y YouTube, en cuarta y en quinta posición. Este estudio establece un punto de partida para futuras investigaciones encaminadas a obtener ciertos indicadores cualitativos y cuantitativos que faciliten una evaluación más justa de los actores integrantes de los sistemas educativos, que ayude a abrir las puertas de nuestra sociedad a la responsabilidad, la eficiencia, la transparencia y la objetividad. ABSTRACT Social networks are as old as human relations, since cooperative work has always been indispensable in all processes of association, from those composed of simple cells to those formed by living beings. Society is shaped by a large amount of situations that stimulate this cooperation. Since the creation of the European Higher Education Area, the use of virtual learning environments that favor more transparent and objective evaluation has been promoted. On-line social networks are the digital interfaces most widely used by university students, which is the reason why many experts recommend an analysis of the educational utility of this type of applications. Following these recommendations, an on-line social network called Formatio was created, which was used in order to support the teaching and learning process in higher education. The general objective of this doctoral dissertation was to evaluate the level of acceptance of this virtual learning environment by the university students who participated in this study. In order to evaluate the use of the platform, the activity created by 172 students chosen at random was analyzed; they were registered in the course on Statistics and Information and Communication Technology of the degree program in Sciences of Physical Activity and Sport during the academic year 2010/2011. With the goal of appraising the educational utility of on-line social networks, a tool for Evaluation of On-line Educational Resources (EOER) was designed, validated, and applied to another random sample of 452 students from the same department during the academic year 2011/2012. The results confirm the success of this type of virtual spaces, thanks to the high frequency of use achieved and the good grades obtained by the students who had a favorable opinion of the advantages of using on-line social networks in higher education. Out of all the resources analyzed, the Formatio on-line social network was the option that received the best evaluation, followed by Moodle and Facebook, which were second and third, and Twitter and YouTube, in fourth and fifth place respectively. This study establishes a starting point for future research that aims to obtain certain qualitative and quantitative indicators that will make it easier to engage in a fairer evaluation of the parties involved in education systems, which will help open the doors of our society to responsibility, efficiency, transparency, and objectivity.

Sampling a network with a given probability distribution has been identified as a useful operation. In this paper we propose distributed algorithms for sampling networks, so that nodes are selected by a special node, called the source, with a given probability distribution. All these algorithms are based on a new class of random walks, that we call Random Centrifugal Walks (RCW). A RCW is a random walk that starts at the source and always moves away from it. Firstly, an algorithm to sample any connected network using RCW is proposed. The algorithm assumes that each node has a weight, so that the sampling process must select a node with a probability proportional to its weight. This algorithm requires a preprocessing phase before the sampling of nodes. In particular, a minimum diameter spanning tree (MDST) is created in the network, and then nodes weights are efficiently aggregated using the tree. The good news are that the preprocessing is done only once, regardless of the number of sources and the number of samples taken from the network. After that, every sample is done with a RCW whose length is bounded by the network diameter. Secondly, RCW algorithms that do not require preprocessing are proposed for grids and networks with regular concentric connectivity, for the case when the probability of selecting a node is a function of its distance to the source. The key features of the RCW algorithms (unlike previous Markovian approaches) are that (1) they do not need to warm-up (stabilize), (2) the sampling always finishes in a number of hops bounded by the network diameter, and (3) it selects a node with the exact probability distribution.
