El acoso escolar en España. ¿Y si la solución fuese integrar la compasión en los centros educativos?

En el estudio se presenta una descripción, análisis y reflexión sobre el acoso escolar en España. En los últimos años los medios de comunicación han tratado ampliamente esta temática, haciéndose eco de los casos más llamativos. Paralelamente se han implementado múltiples programas para erradicar o disminuir el acoso en las aulas, el abordaje ha sido fragmentario y epidérmico en muchos casos. El acoso escolar sigue teniendo mucha incidencia en los centros educativos españoles. Para la realización de la investigación se ha utilizado bibliografía relevante, datos cuantitativos y se han realizado 20 entrevistas en total: alumnos, padres-madres y docentes de primaria y secundaria; quienes han explicado sus experiencias y vivencias. Con las aportaciones de los autores e informantes se muestran unas causas y motivaciones diferentes a las socialmente aceptadas. Los conflictos entre alumnos pares han estado incrustados tradicionalmente en las aulas; en la actualidad se implementan determinados programas los cuales tienen un abordaje específico. Se requiere un tratamiento global y profundo, reinventar los valores y principios de la escuela e incorporar en el día a día y en todas las materias la compasión.
Moments of inertia of neutron stars in relativistic mean field theory: The role of the isovector scalar channel

With the inclusion of the isovector scalar channel in the meson-nucleon couplings, taking DD-ME$\delta$ as an effective interaction, the moments of inertia of neutron stars possessing various stellar masses are studied within the density dependent relativistic mean field (RMF) theory. The isovector scalar channel contributes to the softening of the neutron-star matter equation of state (EOS) and therefore the reduction of the maximum mass and radius of neutron stars. Smaller values of the total moment of inertia $I$ and the crustal moment of inertia $\Delta{I}$ are then obtained in DD-ME$\delta$ via numerical procedure in comparison with those in other selected RMF functionals. In addition, the involvement of the isovector scalar channel lowers the thickness of the neutron star crust and its mass fraction as well. The sensitivity to both the crustal mass and stellar radius causes the crustal moment of inertia to be more obviously reduced than the total one, eventually leading to a suppression on the fraction of crustal moment of inertia $\Delta{I}/I$ in DD-ME$\delta$. The results indicate the crustal moment of inertia as a more sensitive probe of the neutron-star matter EOS than the total one, and demonstrate that the isovector scalar meson-nucleon couplings in the RMF theory could exert influence over the physics of pulsar glitches.
Managing soil carbon stocks to enhance the resilience of urban ecosystems

AbstractLand-use and land-cover change (LULCC) by urbanization will likely replace agricultural expansion as the dominant source of transformation of the terrestrial biosphere. Properly managed urban soils can offset some of the associated carbon (C) losses from urban soils and vegetation by retaining stabilized soil organic carbon (SOC) or soil inorganic carbon (SIC) such as mineral-associated C, black carbon (BC), and stable carbonate minerals. For example, SOC stocks of up to 810 Mg C ha–1 to 1.5 m depth (Serebryanye Prudy, Russia) and SIC stocks of up to 300 Mg C ha–1 to 2.5 m depth (Newcastle upon Tyne, UK) have been reported, but data on urban soil C storage are scanty. Aside from contributing to climate change mitigation, protecting and increasing SOC stocks support critically important soil-derived ecosystem services. Thus, C-friendly soil and land-use management practices must be developed and implemented to enhance soil-derived ecosystem services in urban areas, and the resilience of urban ecosy...
Female paid domestic care work: a node of social reproduction

CareWork is an anthropological study of domestic paid female care work for children and elderly persons in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). Motivated by the global under-recognition of this essential activity as real labor and by recent global changes in its organization, my research goes beyond the almost exclusive anthropological theorization of care within kinship studies. Building on (socialist) feminist scholarly traditions on domestic work, which places care at the centre of political economy, CareWork investigates informal paid female domestic care work as a socially productive and reproductive relational activity in a dialectic relationship with broader social transformations in BiH and beyond. To enhance and fill gaps in current scholarship it uses an innovative methodology: it traces care work through ‘care clusters’ (various households differentially affected by it) and focuses on two connected sites—Sarajevo (primary site) and Austria (auxiliary site, a nearby top destination for BiH labour migration by carers)—to reconstruct the dynamics and dialectics of such work. This ethnographic study revolves around the following questions: a) How is this care work organized?; b) How does it shape up in relation to broader social processes (e.g. reconfigurations of labour and social security, of ethnonational relations, of migratory patterns) in light of processes of Europeanization?; c) What kind of effects/changes does this care work produce for the various stakeholders? In BiH global changes are particularly visible as it is marked by multiple formal—postwar, postsocialist, Europeanizing—transformations over the last 25 years. Tracing how social transformations converge in care work, CareWork affirms care as a central category of anthropological theory and demonstrates how social scientists can productively employ it as a prism for studying social transformations, as a deeply gendered node of social reproduction with retrograde and emancipatory potential.
Transport with quantum nuclei in ionic liquids

Transport coefficients govern the irreversible flow of extensive, conserved quantities, like mass, momentum, charge and energy. They are fundamental in both science and technology, governing from battery- and fuel-cell-efficiency to the lifecycle of planets. During the last decades, transport coefficients have been successfully extracted from equilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, according to the Green-Kubo theory of linear response. The theory has been also recently reformulated in ab-initio framework, thanks to the widespread use of density functional theory and new theoretical advancements, like the so-called gauge-invariance principle or novel data-analysis techniques. Despite these great advancements, when light nuclei are present, nuclear quantum effects can arise -like quantum tunnelling and zero-point energy effects-, which are not considered with standard molecular dynamics simulations with classical, point-like nuclei, and may strongly affect transport coefficients. In TRANQUIL we shall employ imaginary-time path integral molecular dynamics techniques to include NQEs in the transport properties of complex ionic liquids, relevant in energy-management technology and planetary science. Machine learning models will be exploited to construct ab-initio accurate force fields for faster MD simulations, as well as to define the atomic properties that are necessary to obtain well-defined microscopic fluxes needed in GK theory, like the dynamical charge or the local energy of each atom. TRANQUIL will also develop new, highly-scalable, and open-source software platform to manage the massively parallel MD simulations required, through the deployment of a targeted secondment. Within TRANQUIL, the experienced researcher will extend his scientific network of collaborations, and learn new leadership skills to boost his career as EU scientist in Condensed Matter theory and reach a full scientific independence.
CSR in SMEs: strategies, practices, motivations and obstacles

Purpose Given the greater recognition of the role played by small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) within the European economy, this research aims to provide an insight into SME CSR practices. Within this scope, the objective is to identify accurately and extensively: CSR practices at the social, economic and environmental levels; the motivations, perceived benefits, existing obstacles; and the types of support and strategies that render possible an explanation of the factors which place the greatest restrictions on SME adoption of CSR practices. Design/methodology/approach This research was realized through the completion of a questionnaire type inquiry structured around table‐based analysis. The questionnaire was sent out to a large sample of SMEs in Portugal. Findings The main results demonstrate that, while CSR takes on an informal, non‐structured character, it has been incorporated into the daily management of such companies. Furthermore, contrary to what happens at large companies, CSR at SMEs is fundamentally internally focused and results from attention to the potential benefits to the business from gains in eco‐efficiency, a better social climate or a higher profile in the local community. The emphasis is on the adoption of simple, easily applicable and cheap measures and normally with specific results exemplifying how SME CSR is located on the border between entrepreneurialism and business management and that of business citizenship. Research limitations/implications It is not possible to extrapolate the data obtained since the study focused only on mainland Portugal. Practical implications The fact that the study clarifies the strategies and motivations of CSR in SMEs makes possible the development of active policies to promote CSR in the universe of these companies. Originality/value Because the studies on SME CSR remain rare, this research contributes to a better understanding of the dynamics, motivations and strategies of CSR in the SMEs case.
Nmr-Based sensor technology at nanoscale

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectrometry is the most widely used method in the spectrometry market. With applications in various areas such as geo exploration, material quality control, drug development, and biomedical imaging, NMR provides rich spectroscopic information of the structure for material analyses. Therefore, for advancing human health and science, NMR spectrometry and also microfluidics are widely adopted technologies in studying biological processes and thus utilised in many biomedical applications. However, given its low sensitivity, the technique is only applicable to large specimens. This proof-of-concept project develops novel atomic-size defect centres in diamond, which are superior to the current state-of-the-art magnetic field sensors in terms of spatial resolution, sensitivity and rugged design. Initial tests with single sensing defects confirm estimates on the achievable spatial resolution down to a few nanometers and reduction of volumetric sensitivity by factor of 108 as compared to the existing technologies. Through achieving this level, we are able to bring the full functionality and integration of NMR, i.e. molecular specificity to micro analytics. Therefore, the improvement of NMR sensitivity and the development of nanoscale NMR imaging, promises revolutionary impacts on the areas of bioscience and spectrometry technology, which in turn enables new applications in areas such as nanotechnology and bioanalytics. In this project, we’ll (1) demonstrate integration of a diamond-based NMR sensor into a microfluidic device and in magnetic storage system. To best prepare for the post-PoC commercialisation we’ll (2) test the NMR device in real-life industrial application, i.e. in characterization of hard-dick’s write-head. Moreover, we’ll also (3) carry out pre-commercialisation and networking activities, and (4) plan for the commercialisation of the novel NMR microfluidic sensor technology.

Cooperative approaches to transport challenges in Metropolitan Regions

CATCH_MR will explore and adapt sustainable transport solutions for metropolises and their regions.12 partners will take part in the project, representing 7 Metropolitan Regions (MRs): Oslo/Akershus (NO), Gothenburg Region (SE), Berlin-Brandenburg (GE), Vienna/Lower Austria (AU), Ljubljana Urban Region (SL), Budapest/Central Hungarian Region (H), Province of Rome/Lazio Region (I). Efficient, reliable and sustainable transport is a key precondition for economic growth. This is a major challenge for MRs. As major transport-nodes, the MRs handle large volumes of local, regional and international traffic. At the same time, the MRs are strongly aware of the urgency to develop patterns and forms of transport which have less impact on the environment. The overall objective for CATCH_MR is to promote sustainable transport solutions across whole MRs. This means both reducing transport needs without impairing mobility, and increasing the share of environmentally friendly transport.
The partners intend to work systematically towards this goal through three consecutive sub-objectives:
- reducing the need to travel within the regions through coordinating transport and land-use
- increasing the share of public transport 
- increasing use of renewable energy in transport
The partners aim to work towards these objectives by identifying and promoting good practice by:
- understanding urban sprawl and achieving new planning solutions
- promoting public transport by new frameworks (eg. incentives and disincentives)
- promoting the substitution of fossil-based fuel with affordable technology and the necessary infrastructure
- connecting regional and metropolitan transport policies (through governance, joint funding & implementation)
These fields are strongly interdependent and should not be addressed in isolation. In the partners’ view, better solutions for the MRs as whole can be achieved through integrated approaches involving both the
cities and their surrounding regions. The core activities will be seven peer workshops and exchange visits. Each MR will host a workshop and address topics where they have particularly knowledge and experience. The hosting region will be supported in each case by 2 other MRs. Practical experience will be presented and discussed at each workshop, examples of good practice highlighted, and policy advice developed. Recommendations may be generally applicable, or adapted to suite specific situations in each MR.
Characterizing and Controlling the Effects of Differential Drag on Satellite Formations

Abstract : The ability to fly satellites in close formations represents a capability that could revolutionize the way satellite missions are designed in the future. This study examines three of the primary formation flying designs and characterizes the effects that an anomalous satellite with a slightly different cross-sectional area would have on the stability of the formation. Following the characterization of these effects, a controller is implemented to mitigate the cross-sectional area differences between the satellites. The results show that, with the addition of a straightforward controller, small cross-sectional area differences can be mitigated and corrected such that the satellites will remain in close proximity and, in some cases, the formation will remain stable.
The motor nerve to the masseter muscle: An anatomic and histomorphometric study to facilitate its use in facial reanimation

The motor nerve to the masseter muscle is increasingly being used for facial reanimation procedures. However, many surgeons have been reluctant to use this versatile source of axons because of difficulty in locating it intraoperatively. In this study we conducted a detailed assessment of its gross and microscopic anatomy and develop a simple, reliable method for locating this nerve.We defined the anatomy of the nerve to the masseter, in particular its relationship to common surgical landmarks such as the auricular tragus and the zygomatic arch, and determined its intramuscular anatomy. We also performed a histomorphometric analysis.The anatomy of the motor nerve to the masseter was consistent. A convenient starting point for its dissection was found 3.16 ± 0.30 cm anterior to the tragus at a level 1.08 ± 0.18 cm inferior to the zygomatic arch. The nerve was located 1.48 ± 0.19 cm deep to the superficial muscular aponeurotic system (SMAS) at this point. Relative to the zygomatic arch, the nerve formed an angle of 50 ± 7.6° as it coursed distally into the masseter muscle. The distance from the arch to the first branch of the motor nerve to the masseter was 1.33 ± 0.20 cm. The histomorphometric analysis demonstrated that the motor nerve to the masseter contained an average of 2775 ± 470 myelinated fibers.Successful intraoperative location of the motor nerve to the masseter is facilitated by knowledge of its anatomy relative to standard surgical landmarks. A consistent and convenient starting point for dissection of this nerve is found 3 cm anterior to the tragus and 1 cm inferior to the zygomatic arch. The nerve contains over 2700 myelinated fibers, demonstrating its usefulness as a source of motor innervation for facial reanimation.
Interactions between field populations of the potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida and Rhizoctonia solani diseases of potatoes under controlled environment and glasshouse conditions

Abstract This research elucidates interactions between Globodera pallida and Rhizoctonia solani (AG3) by comparing disease development in potato plants inoculated with G. pallida and R. solani. The effects of juvenile population density and time of infestation on R. solani disease were investigated in controlled environments. Plants were inoculated with a range of densities of second-stage juveniles (J2) of G. pallida (800, 4000, 10 000, 20 000 and 40 000 J2/plant) and R. solani at 2, 4 and 6 weeks after planting and a single treatment of G. pallida density and R. solani alone. The experiment demonstrated that greatest disease incidence and severity occurred when high population densities of G. pallida were applied at an early stage of plant development. To determine if this effect could explain differences in R. solani disease incidence and severity following interactions with individual field populations of G. pallida, a glasshouse experiment was conducted using two populations of G. pallida with known hatching characteristics (fast and slow hatching). The experiment revealed that a combination of a fast-hatching population with R. solani caused significantly more R. solani disease incidence and severity than a population of G. pallida with slower hatching characteristics.
Micro mechanical characterization of a thermoplastic co-consolidated / welded joint for use in aircraft fuselages

The Large Passenger Aircraft (LPA) Platform 2 – Multifunctional Fuselage Demonstrator (MFFD) will employ new combinations of airframe structures, cabin/cargo, and system elements using advanced materials, notably HPTP composites. The MFFD is focused on achieving significant cost and weight reductions, coupled with high production rates.  To bring these materials to market, there is a need to validate direct joining methods, which eschew traditional adhesive bonding in order to reduce cycle time and improve joint quality. 
The MECATESTERS project represents a key step in the progression of such technologies to widespread use in the aerospace sector.  It will permit a greater level of understanding of the micro-mechanical behavior of the interfaces – an understanding which is currently limited: issues such as aging, healing, processing parameters, and durability need to be investigated in greater detail in order to develop a coherent approach.
The MECATESTERS project will elucidate many aspects of thermoplastic joining using precision thermoplastic welding (PTW) methods.  It will examine systematically the effects of surface condition, matrix aging, and bonding method on the reliability and performance of assemblies bonded using a variety of thermoplastic welding technologies.
Development of the A§E test battery for assessment of pitch perception in speech

The auditory speech sounds evaluation 2009 test battery for assessment of speech pitch perception is presented. It was designed to (a) assess perception of pitch in linguistic contexts without the confounds of secondary acoustic cues, (b) be usable with listeners from different language backgrounds, and (c) be suitable for use in a clinical setting. The need for this test battery arises from increased awareness of the importance of prosody in clinical practice, and the development of methods for improving pitch perception in listeners with profound hearing losses.Identification and discrimination tasks based on linguistic contexts were developed to establish listeners' just noticeable differences (JNDs) for pitch changes. Stimuli were pseudosentences and pseudowords based on speech from a female speaker, overlain with stylized pitch contours. Target pitch excursions were varied from the 200 Hz baseline to a maximum of 349 Hz. Ninety normal-hearing listeners participated in test validation that assessed goals (a)-(c), established test-retest reliability, and gathered normative data.The JNDs on non-linguistic, control tasks were lower than on linguistic ones, showing that non-linguistic tasks may overestimate pitch perception in speech. Listeners from different language backgrounds scored comparably on most linguistic tasks, and test-retest differences were non-significant. Test usability as evidenced by task duration and subject experience seemed satisfactory for clinical use.
