Principals intercanvis de mercaderies entre València Port i la Xina en el període 1996-2014

La present memòria es planteja com una aportació a la comprensió de les últimes dos dècades de relacions comercials amb la Xina des del port de València, en fase d'integració amb el de Sagunt i Gandia, i el seu hinterland constituït a més de pel País Valencià per una àrea que abasta tota la zona est i central de la Península Ibèrica. La Xina és el país protagonista d'entre les economies emergents en l'actualitat, així l'estudi analitza, des d'una perspectiva eminentment valenciana, quins són els principals intercanvis de mercaderies entre València Port i els principals ports de la Xina.

Aportaciones de la pedagogía manjoniana a la teoría y a la práctica de la formación social.

Valorar críticamente la escuela manjoniana como ejemplo de institución educativa orientada al humanismo cristiano y a la formación social. Analiza la sociedad española durante el periodo histórico comprendido entre 1889 (año fundacional de la Escuela al aire libre Ave María) y 1923 (muerte de su fundador, D. Andrés Manjón). Pone de manifiesto la inseguridad social de la época y las deficientes estructuras culturales y educativas. Estudia la maduración pedagógica que se va produciendo en Manjón, un proyecto educativo que prepare para la vida y el trabajo, la concepción teocéntrica de la educación, las escuelas al aire libre para la salud del cuerpo y el alma, la necesidad de una educación religiosa como una cuestión social, su concepción de una escuela humanista cristiana a partir de la educación popular, y la delimitación de la autoridad política del Estado en materia educativa frente al derecho que asiste a la familia y a la Iglesia. Requiere utilizar el método analítico para clarificar los conceptos pedagógicos y delimitar sus notas constitutivas. Después usa un método sintético para dar una visión global de su pensamento pedagógico. Tanto para el análisis como la síntesis utiliza la crítica como método. Manjón presenta una teoría y realiza una práctica pedagógica en defensa del derecho de educación bajo el prisma del humanismo cristiano.

Speed Neuro-fuzzy Estimator Applied To Sensorless Induction Motor Control

This work proposes the development of an Adaptive Neuro-fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) estimator applied to speed control in a three-phase induction motor sensorless drive. Usually, ANFIS is used to replace the traditional PI controller in induction motor drives. The evaluation of the estimation capability of the ANFIS in a sensorless drive is one of the contributions of this work. The ANFIS speed estimator is validated in a magnetizing flux oriented control scheme, consisting in one more contribution. As an open-loop estimator, it is applied to moderate performance drives and it is not the proposal of this work to solve the low and zero speed estimation problems. Simulations to evaluate the performance of the estimator considering the vector drive system were done from the Matlab/Simulink(R) software. To determine the benefits of the proposed model, a practical system was implemented using a voltage source inverter (VSI) to drive the motor and the vector control including the ANFIS estimator, which is carried out by the Real Time Toolbox from Matlab/Simulink(R) software and a data acquisition card from National Instruments.

Imaging Diagnosis - Lack of Contrast Enhancement in Metastatic Cerebral Adenocarcinoma

A 7-year-old female spayed Scottish Terrier was presented with central nervous system symptoms suggestive of a lesion in the forebrain. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging revealed multifocal disease in the forebrain. Because of complete lack of contrast enhancement, the changes were attributed to lesions of inflammatory origin.Histopathology of the brain revealed multiplemetastatic lesions of an adenocarcinoma. Brainmetastases in general show contrast enhancement. The reason for a complete absence of contrast enhancement is unknown. Previous administration of corticosteroids, increased diffusion time of contrast medium, increased intracranial pressure in combination with an intact blood–tumor barrier is discussed as possible reasons.

Barriers and facilitators to effective coverage of Intimate Partner Violence services for immigrant women in Spain

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.
