Objective: To explore service providers’ perceptions in order to identify barriers and facilitators to effective coverage of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) services for immigrant women in Spain, according to the different categories proposed in Tanahashi's model of effective coverage. Methods: A qualitative study based on 29 in-depth personal interviews and four group interviews with a total of 43 professionals working in public services (social and health-care services, women's refuges, the police force, the judiciary) and NGOs in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia and Alicante (Spain) in 2011. Findings: Current IPV services in Spain partially fail in their coverage of abused immigrant women due to barriers of (i) availability, such as the inexistence of culturally appropriate services; (ii) accessibility, as having a residence permit is a prerequisite for women's access to different services and rights; (iii) acceptability, such as women's lack of confidence in the effectiveness of services; and (iv) effectiveness, for example, lack of specific training among professionals on the issues of IPV and immigration. However, interviewees also identified facilitators, such as the enabling environment promoted by the Spanish Law on Gender-Based Violence (1/2004), and the impetus it has provided for the development of other specific legislative tools to address IPV in immigrant populations in Spain (availability, accessibility and effectiveness). Conclusion: Whilst not dismissing cultural barriers, aspects related to service structure are identified by providers as the main barriers and facilitators to immigrant women use of IPV services. Despite noteworthy achievements, improvements are still required in terms of mainstreaming assistance tailored to immigrant women's needs in IPV policies and services.

El RD 1393/2007 por el que se establece la ordenación de las enseñanzas universitarias oficiales, indica, entre otros aspectos, que la formación en cualquier actividad profesional debe contribuir al conocimiento y desarrollo de los principios de accesibilidad universal, diseño para todos y todas, igualdad entre hombres y mujeres y la protección del medioambiente. Atendiendo a estas necesidades formativas que deben ser recogidas en los títulos de grado, desde la Universidad de Alicante se ha puesto en marcha a través del Secretariado de Desarrollo de Campus del Vicerrectorado de Campus y Sostenibilidad el proyecto “Campus Accesible Campus Igualitario” para potenciar un campus inclusivo que tenga en cuenta esta perspectiva tanto en el espacio urbano como en el arquitectónico. El objetivo de esta comunicación es exponer la metodología seguida para potenciar el proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje de estas competencias básicas, que deberían estar incluidas en todos los planes de estudio. Para ello se expone un modelo de taller práctico que pretende potenciar la adquisición de las competencias necesarias sobre igualdad y accesibilidad en el espacio urbano y arquitectónico, así como desarrollar el pensamiento crítico y constructivo para que cada estudiante que se gradúe en nuestra universidad pueda contribuir a la construcción de una sociedad más inclusiva.

Multiobjective Generalized Disjunctive Programming (MO-GDP) optimization has been used for the synthesis of an important industrial process, isobutane alkylation. The two objective functions to be simultaneously optimized are the environmental impact, determined by means of LCA (Life Cycle Assessment), and the economic potential of the process. The main reason for including the minimization of the environmental impact in the optimization process is the widespread environmental concern by the general public. For the resolution of the problem we employed a hybrid simulation- optimization methodology, i.e., the superstructure of the process was developed directly in a chemical process simulator connected to a state of the art optimizer. The model was formulated as a GDP and solved using a logic algorithm that avoids the reformulation as MINLP -Mixed Integer Non Linear Programming-. Our research gave us Pareto curves compounded by three different configurations where the LCA has been assessed by two different parameters: global warming potential and ecoindicator-99.

Background: This study aimed to analyse how immigrant workers in Spain experienced changes in their working and employment conditions brought about Spain's economic recession and the impact of these changes on their living conditions and health status. Method: We conducted a grounded theory study. Data were obtained through six focus group discussions with immigrant workers (n = 44) from Colombia, Ecuador and Morocco, and two individual interviews with key informants from Romania living in Spain, selected by theoretical sample. Results: Three categories related to the crisis emerged – previous labour experiences, employment consequences and individual consequences – that show how immigrant workers in Spain (i) understand the change in employment and working conditions conditioned by their experiences in the period prior to the crisis, and (ii) experienced the deterioration in their quality of life and health as consequences of the worsening of employment and working conditions during times of economic recession. Conclusion: The negative impact of the financial crisis on immigrant workers may increase their social vulnerability, potentially leading to the failure of their migratory project and a return to their home countries. Policy makers should take measures to minimize the negative impact of economic crisis on the occupational health of migrant workers in order to strengthen social protection and promote health and well-being.

El novembre de 2014 el CEFIRE d’Alacant organitzà el I Taller d’Intercanvi d’Experiències per a l’elaboració i divulgació de revistes digitals, hereu de la I i II Jornadas de Prensa en los IES de Alicante que es celebraren els anys 2007 i 2011. Aquest taller tingué com a objectius, entre d’altres, divulgar i intercanviar experiències didàctiques relacionades amb revistes digitals entre centres de diversos nivells, afavorir la creació de projectes educatius cooperatius mitjançant les revistes digitals o establir les bases que permeteren la creació d’una xarxa col·laborativa de revistes digitals. A banda de palesar les diverses propostes dels centres escolars i la incorporació de la revista escolar tradicional al món digital, d’aquella experiència, i parant sobretot atenció al darrer dels objectius citat, ha sorgit la xarxa en docència universitària “Taller de revistes digitals com a eina didàctica: de l’ensenyament no universitari a la universitat”, amb l’objectiu d’aprofundir en les possibilitats didàctiques de les revistes digitals tant pel que fa a l’alumnat no universitari com en les diverses titulacions que ofereix la Universitat d’Alacant. A més de compartir experiències i fomentar l’aprenentatge col·laboratiu de l’alumnat i del professorat implicats, aquesta xarxa en docència universitària vol articular-hi un espai digital permanent en que es puguen recopilar les revistes digitals dels diversos centres educatius.
