Cooperative games with size-truncated information

[Eng] We study the marginal worth vectors and their convex hull, the socalled Weber set, from the original coalitional game and the transformed one, which is called the Weber set of level k. We prove that the core of the original game is included in each of the Weber set of level k, for any k, and that the Weber sets of consecutive levels form a chain if and only if the original game is 0-monotone. Even if the game is not 0-monotone, the intersection of the Weber sets for consecutive levels is always not empty, what is not the case for non-consecutive ones. Spanish education system.

El joc com a eina inclusiva

El tema central d'aquest Treball Final de Grau és el joc i les seves potencialitats com a eina inclusiva. El objectiu de la recerca és conèixer la importància que té el joc en l'educació infantil i indagar sobre las possibilitats que aporta a la inclusió de nens i nenes amb necessitats educatives especials. El treball es divideix en diferents apartats. Inicialment, es fa una recerca teòrica sobre com el joc col·labora en l’educació dels infants a nivell acadèmic i transversal i sobre els beneficis de l’activitat lúdica en els alumnes amb necessitats educatives especials. A continuació, es realitza un estudi de cas d’un infant amb certes necessitats dins d’un context escolar i s’analitza la funció el joc com el mecanisme d’ajuda per incloure’l dins d’un grup. L’estudi es porta a terme mitjançant l’observació de l’infant a l’escola i de entrevistes realitzades amb diferents persones del seu entorn. Per últim, es presenta una anàlisi de les dades recollides amb l’objectiu d’extreure conclusions sobre com el joc pot ser una eina per incloure els infants amb necessitats educatives especials dins d’un grup-classe.

Entrenamiento de la fuerza orientado a la mejora de la velocidad de golpeo en tenis

El golpeo de la bola a velocidades elevadas, es un factor determinante para el rendimiento en el tenis moderno. Durante los últimos 20 años se ha producido una gran evolución del juego y los cambios en el juego moderno se han traducido en el uso de poderosos servicios y golpes de fondo. Aunque la fuerza es una capacidad determinante desde la perspectiva de la condición física, ha habido poca investigación para fundamentar la eficacia de los programas de entrenamiento de fuerza para los jugadores de tenis. El objetivo de este estudio es realizar una revisión sobre los criterios básicos para dirigir correctamente el entrenamiento de la fuerza orientado a la mejora de la de la velocidad de golpeo de la pelota. Aunque las necesidades de fuerza dinámica máxima (FDM) en los golpeos son bajas, la literatura científica parece apuntar que unos adecuados niveles de FDM ejercen efectos positivos sobre el aumento de velocidad de golpeo en el tenis. La mejora y mantenimiento de esta manifestación de fuerza se busca a expensas de factores neurales. Los entrenamientos de fuerza útil deben utilizar medios que permitan ejecutar el gesto técnico, implicar las mismas cadenas musculares, rango de movimiento o velocidades de ejecución. En este sentido, se han propuesto la utilización de pelotas medicinales, mancuernas de peso ligero, gomas elásticas, máquinas multifuncionales de resistencia neumática o poleas.

Erratum: Global pressures, specific responses: effects of nutrient enrichment in streams from different biomes

We assessed the effects of nutrient enrichment on three stream ecosystems running through distinct biomes (Mediterranean, Pampean and Andean). We increased the concentrations of N and P in the stream water 1.6–4-fold following a before–after control–impact paired series (BACIPS) design in each stream, and evaluated changes in the biomass of bacteria, primary producers, invertebrates and fish in the enriched (E) versus control (C) reaches after nutrient addition through a predictive-BACIPS approach. The treatment produced variable biomass responses (2–77% of explained variance) among biological communities and streams. The greatest biomass response was observed for algae in the Andean stream (77% of the variance), although fish also showed important biomass responses (about 9–48%). The strongest biomass response to enrichment (77% in all biological compartments) was found in the Andean stream. The magnitude and seasonality of biomass responses to enrichment were highly site specific, often depending on the basal nutrient concentration and on windows of ecological opportunity (periods when environmental constraints other than nutrients do not limit biomass growth). The Pampean stream, with high basal nutrient concentrations, showed a weak response to enrichment (except for invertebrates), whereas the greater responses of Andean stream communities were presumably favored by wider windows of ecological opportunity in comparison to those from the Mediterranean stream. Despite variation among sites, enrichment globally stimulated the algal-based food webs (algae and invertebrate grazers) but not the detritus-based food webs (bacteria and invertebrate shredders). This study shows that nutrient enrichment tends to globally enhance the biomass of stream biological assemblages, but that its magnitude and extent within the food web are complex and are strongly determined by environmental factors and ecosystem structure
