Aplicación de la Lógica Dominante del servicio (LDS) en el sector turístico: el marketing interno como antecedente de la cultura de co-creación de innovaciones con clientes y empleados

[ES] Este trabajo trata de profundizar en la comprensión del concepto de marketing interno (MI), considerado como un recurso operante desde la óptica de la Lógica Dominante del Servicio (LDS), así como en su influencia en la obtención de resultados empresariales superiores a los de la competencia. Para ello, se examina el efecto del MI en la predisposición de las empresas analizadas a que sus clientes y empleados de primera línea participen en el desarrollo de innovaciones de servicio, ampliando de este modo, de acuerdo con la LDS, las oportunidades de co-creación de valor disponibles para las organizaciones. Para contrastar las hipótesis planteadas se aplica un análisis de ecuaciones estructurales a la información facilitada por los gerentes de 240 hoteles de una muestra de ámbito nacional.

Crystal structure and phase transition studies in perovskite-type oxides using powder-diffraction techniques and symmetry-mode analysis : SrLnMRuO6 (Ln=La,Pr,Nd; M=Zn,Co,Mg,Ni,Fe) and ALn2CuTi2O9 (A=Ca,Ba; Ln=La,Pr,Nd,Sm)

La tesis se ha centrado en la síntesis y caracterización estructural de materiales tipo perovskita: SrLnMRuO6 (Ln=La,Pr,Nd; M=Zn,Co,Mg,Ni,Fe) y ALn2CuTi2O9 (A=Ca,Ba; Ln=La,Pr,Nd,Sm). El estudio de las estructuras de los materiales se ha realizado mediante el análisis de los patrones de difracción en polvo de rayos-X, sincrotrón y/o neutrones. En el refinamiento por el método de Rietveld de las estructuras se han sustituido las coordenadas atómicas (el método más común), por coordenadas colectivas: las amplitudes de los modos que describen la distorsión de la fase prototipo. Los resultados generales para la serie SrLnMRuO6 (Ln=La,Pr,Nd; M=Zn,Co,Mg,Ni) a temperatura ambiente se ha recogido en un diagrama en el que se han indicado las amplitudes de los modos que transforman de acuerdo a las irreps en función del factor de tolerancia, ya que todos ellos cristalizan en la misma fase monoclínica (P21/n); y a temperaturas altas se ha construido un diagrama de fase. Los materiales SrLnFeRuO6 ( Ln=La,Pr,Nd) y CaLn2CuTi2O9 cristalizan en la fase ortorrómbica Pbnm a temperatura ambiente; mientras que BaLn2CuTi2O9 tienen una estructura más simétrica, I4/mcm. A altas temperaturas se han identificado las transiciones de fase inducidas por el cambio de temperatura.A temperaturas bajas se han analizado las estructuras magnéticas de algunos de los compuestos mediante difracción de neutrones.

Novel Papillomaviruses in Free-Ranging Iberian Bats: No Virus-Host Co-evolution, No Strict Host Specificity, and Hints for Recombination

Papillomaviruses (PVs) are widespread pathogens. However, the extent of PV infections in bats remains largely unknown. This work represents the first comprehensive study of PVs in Iberian bats. We identified four novel PVs in the mucosa of free-ranging Eptesicus serotinus (EserPV1, EserPV2, and EserPV3) and Rhinolophus ferrumequinum (RferPV1) individuals and analyzed their phylogenetic relationships within the viral family. We further assessed their prevalence in different populations of E. serotinus and its close relative E. isabellinus. Although it is frequent to read that PVs co-evolve with their host, that PVs are highly species-specific, and that PVs do not usually recombine, our results suggest otherwise. First, strict virus-host co-evolution is rejected by the existence of five, distantly related bat PV lineages and by the lack of congruence between bats and bat PVs phylogenies. Second, the ability of EserPV2 and EserPV3 to infect two different bat species (E. serotinus and E. isabellinus) argues against strict host specificity. Finally, the description of a second noncoding region in the RferPV1 genome reinforces the view of an increased susceptibility to recombination in the E2-L2 genomic region. These findings prompt the question of whether the prevailing paradigms regarding PVs evolution should be reconsidered.

Eskaladako Fisiologia eta Balorazio Probak

Orain arte eskaladaren inguruan dagoen literaturan, antropometria, heltze indarra eta erantzun psikofisiologikoak aztertu dira nagusiki eta kontraesan ugari aurkitzen dira autore ezberdinen artean. Ikerketa honen bidez, kontraesan guzti hauek argitu nahi dira eta balorazio proba berri batzuen eraginkontarsuna aztertu. Gradu amaierako lan honen helburuak, lau balorazio proba ezberdin diseinatu, gauzatzea (heltze indarra, gauzatze aldagaiak, erantzun fisiologikoak eta RPE neurtuz) eta neurketa antropometrikoak egitea izan dira. Ondoren, maila ezberdineko eskalatzaileen eta bi sexuen arteko ezberdintasunak behatzeko. Ikerketan hiru emakume eta bederatzi gizonek parte hartu zuten, uniformeki maila ezberdineko taldetan banaturik. 1.taldea (6.gradukoak), emakume bat eta bi gizonek osatzen zuten, 2.taldea (7.gradukoak), emakume bat eta hiru gizonek eta 3.taldea (8.gradukoak), emakume bat eta lau gizonek. Diseinaturiko lau balorazio probak honako hauek izan ziren: 1.proba, suspentsio maximoa 1,8mmko regletan; 2.proba, trakzio kopuru maximoa; 3.proba, 7a zailtasuneko bia bat eskalatu akidura arte eta 4.proba, 6a+ zailtasuneko bia bat eskalatu akidura arte. Balorazio proba edo testekin hasi aurretik, atsedenean, bihotz maiztasuna eta tentsio arteriala neurtu eta esperientzia eta kirol praktikaren galdetegi bat pasa zitzaien. Ondoren, balorazio proba bakoitzaren aurretik eta ostean, gauzatze aldagaiak, heltze indarra, erantzun fisiologikoa eta RPE neurtu zitzaien. Erantzunei dagokionez, perfil antropometrikoan, gero eta maila altuagoko eskalatzaileek endomorfia baxuagoa dute eta emakumeek gizonezkoek baino balore altuagoak dituzte aldagai guztietan, gantz portzentaian izan ezik. Heltze indarrean aldiz, ez zen ezberdintasun adierazgarririk topatu hiru taldeen artean eta gizonezkoek emakumezkoek baino balore altuagoak izan arren, indar galera antzekoa dute. Erantzun fisiologikoetan ez zen ezberdintasun adierazgarririk topatu. Suspentsio maximoan (1.balorazio proban), gero eta maila altuagoko eskalatzaileek denbora gehiago irauten dute suspentsioan, trakzio kopuruetan aldiz (2.balorazio proba), ez dago ezberdintasun adierazgarririk. Kirol eskalada bertikalean aldiz (3. eta 4. balorazio probetan), maila altuagokoek distantzia luzeagoak eta mugimendu kopuru gehiago egiten dituzte proportzionalki denbora laburragoan. Ondorioz, helburuetako batzuk neurri handi batean bete dira. Laburbilduz, diseinaturiko balorazio probak erabilgarriak dira azkena izan ezik, eta antropometrian, heltze indarrean, suspentsio maximoan eta 3. balorazio probako gauzatze aldagaietan ezberdintasun adierazgarriak topatu dira.

Microwave Resonant and Zero-Field Absorption Study of Doped Magnetite Prepared by a Co-Precipitation Method

Fe3O4 and ZnxFe3-xO4 pure and doped magnetite magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared in aqueous solution (Series A) or in a water-ethyl alcohol mixture (Series B) by the co-precipitation method. Only one ferromagnetic resonance line was observed in all cases under consideration indicating that the materials are magnetically uniform. The shortfall in the resonance fields from 3.27 kOe (for the frequency of 9.5 GHz) expected for spheres can be understood taking into account the dipolar forces, magnetoelasticity, or magnetocrystalline anisotropy. All samples show non-zero low field absorption. For Series A samples the grain size decreases with an increase of the Zn content. In this case zero field absorption does not correlate with the changes of the grain size. For Series B samples the grain size and zero field absorption behavior correlate with each other. The highest zero-field absorption corresponded to 0.2 zinc concentration in both A and B series. High zero-field absorption of Fe3O4 ferrite magnetic NPs can be interesting for biomedical applications.

Can environmental constraints determine random patterns of plant species co-occurrence?

Plant community ecologists use the null model approach to infer assembly processes from observed patterns of species co-occurrence. In about a third of published studies, the null hypothesis of random assembly cannot be rejected. When this occurs, plant ecologists interpret that the observed random pattern is not environmentally constrained - but probably generated by stochastic processes. The null model approach (using the C-score and the discrepancy index) was used to test for random assembly under two simulation algorithms. Logistic regression, distance-based redundancy analysis, and constrained ordination were used to test for environmental determinism (species segregation along environmental gradients or turnover and species aggregation). This article introduces an environmentally determined community of alpine hydrophytes that presents itself as randomly assembled. The pathway through which the random pattern arises in this community is suggested to be as follows: Two simultaneous environmental processes, one leading to species aggregation and the other leading to species segregation, concurrently generate the observed pattern, which results to be neither aggregated nor segregated - but random. A simulation study supports this suggestion. Although apparently simple, the null model approach seems to assume that a single ecological factor prevails or that if several factors decisively influence the community, then they all exert their influence in the same direction, generating either aggregation or segregation. As these assumptions are unlikely to hold in most cases and assembly processes cannot be inferred from random patterns, we would like to propose plant ecologists to investigate specifically the ecological processes responsible for observed random patterns, instead of trying to infer processes from patterns
