Publicación Exploring attitudes towards errors and frustration intolerance in pre-service teachers(ELSEVIER, 2025-02-13) Zamora Menéndez, Ángela; Ardura, Diego; Calderón Lima, RebecaThe present study examines the attitudes of 382 Spanish pre-service teachers regarding their own mistakes as learners, their frustration intolerance, and the use of errors in their future teaching roles. Findings showed that pre-service teachers in early childhood and primary education are less likely to embrace errors and exhibit higher levels of frustration intolerance compared to their secondary education counterparts. In addition, these traits were identified as significant predictors of teachers’ attitudes towards their own mistakes. The results suggest the need for specialized teacher training programmes that equip pre-service teachers with effective error management strategies for classroom use.Publicación A Combined Model Based on Recurrent Neural Networks and Graph Convolutional Networks for Financial Time Series Forecasting(MDPI, 2023-01-02) Lazcano, Ana; Herrera Caro, Pedro Javier; Monge, ManuelAccurate and real-time forecasting of the price of oil plays an important role in the world economy. Research interest in forecasting this type of time series has increased considerably in recent decades, since, due to the characteristics of the time series, it was a complicated task with inaccurate results. Concretely, deep learning models such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) have appeared in this field with promising results compared to traditional approaches. To improve the performance of existing networks in time series forecasting, in this work two types of neural networks are brought together, combining the characteristics of a Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) and a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) network. This is a novel evolution that improves existing results in the literature and provides new possibilities in the analysis of time series. The results confirm a better performance of the combined BiLSTM-GCN approach compared to the BiLSTM and GCN models separately, as well as to the traditional models, with a lower error in all the error metrics used: the Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), the Mean Squared Error (MSE), the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) and the R-squared (R2). These results represent a smaller difference between the result returned by the model and the real value and, therefore, a greater precision in the predictions of this model.Publicación Carbon-supported non-noble metal catalysts for efficient synthesis of the biofuel 2,5-dimethylfurfural from 5‑hydroxymethylfurfural in 1-butanol under mild conditions(ELSEVIER, 2025-04-01) Morales Vargas, Mª Virtudes; Conesa, J.M.; Guerrero Ruiz, A.; Rodríguez Ramos, I.2,5-Dimethylfuran (DMF), which is one of the most promising liquid biofuels, has garnered significant attention due to its potential to develop the utilization of biomass energy. In this work, its synthesis through the hydrodeoxygenation reaction (HDO) of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) has been studied on Ni catalysts supported on various metal oxides and a high surface graphite (HSAG), in a batch reactor, using 1-butanol as a solvent. At 180 °C and under 30 bar H2, the catalytic activity and the predominant reaction route were found to be strongly conditioned by the nature of the support, as well as by the presence of impurities depending on the commercial HMF feedstock employed. The HSAG support turned out to be the most suitable for the HDO of HMF leading to the formation of DMF, via rupture of the C-O bonds. Additionally, the catalytic performance of Co and Cu supported on this graphitic material was studied, being Cu the one that offers the best yields to DMF (95 %), even in the absence of external hydrogen (84 %), confirming that butanol acts as a hydrogen donor in addition of solvent.Publicación Recognition of Egyptian hieroglyphic texts through focused generic segmentation and cross-validation voting(ELSEVIER, 2025-03) Fuentes Ferrer, Raúl; Duque Domingo, Jaime; Herrera Caro, Pedro JavierAncient Egyptian hieroglyphs form part of a complex language that has attracted the attention of Egyptologists, historians, and amateurs for centuries. In use for more than 3000 years, they consist of hundreds of symbols that can be transcribed into their Latin phonemes. Although there have been some previous works on the recognition of hieroglyphs through computer vision, this is a study of unprecedented depths and presents several unique contributions. On the one hand, we have created the largest and most complete dataset of existing Egyptian hieroglyphs to date, covering all the main symbols used on stelae. On the other, we have carried out a systematic analysis of detection, segmentation, and classification methods, focusing our research on a composite method of focused generic segmentation and classification with an ensemble model of ConvNeXt backbones using Cross-Validation Voting (CVV). Our trained model has been evaluated against several carved or painted stone stelae, obtaining excellent results. To the best of our knowledge, there is currently no other methodology capable of obtaining the classification results presented in this paper, and the method and the dataset presented represent a very significant advancement in the development of automated methods for reading Egyptian hieroglyphic texts.Publicación A decentralised approach to cyber-physical systems as a service: Managing shared access worldwide through blockchain standards(ELSEVIER, 2025-02-18) Ramos Villalon, Juan Luis; Torre Cubillo, Luis de la; Lei, Zhongcheng; Hu, Wenshan; Tadashi Kussaba, Hugo; Lemieux, VictoriaCyber-physical systems (CPSs) is a general concept that encompasses a wide variety of systems. Depending on their nature, application, and accessibility needs and restrictions, CPSs can differ a lot from each other. This paper proposes a classification of CPSs based on their accessibility needs and restrictions and, more importantly, presents an approach to create a decentralised and worldwide common access management framework for CPSs for non-critical infrastructures that are meant to be shared and accessed remotely (i.e., offered as a service). The presented solution uses a permissionless blockchain, existing fungible tokens, and a combination of smart contracts based on nonfungible token standards/proposals to enable CPS owners to manage secure, flexible access without centralised oversight. In addition, the proposed framework provides built-in mechanisms for: (i) charging for the use of CPSs, (ii) availability calendar configuration, (iii) worldwide visibility, (iv) easy integration with authentication/authorisation methods, and (v) access control flexibility.Publicación Enlarging of the Sample to Address Multicollinearity(Springer, 2025-04-16) Salmerón-Gómez, Román; García-García, Catalina Beatriz; Rodríguez Sánchez, AinaraThis paper analyzes the impact of sample enlargement on the mitigation of collinearity, concluding that it may mitigate the consequences of collinearity related to statistical analysis but not necessarily the numerical instability. This issue is important in teaching social sciences as it relates to one widely accepted solution for addressing multicollinearity. For a better understanding and illustration of the contribution made by this paper, two empirical examples and two simulations are presented and not highly technical developments are used.Publicación Exploring the Effect of Plain Terminology on Processing and Comprehension of Administrative Texts in Spanish: A Self-Paced Reading Experiment(Wiley, 2025-11-13) Fernández Silva, Sabela; Núñez Cortés, Juan Antonio; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6607-5772; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0494-3850Clear communication between government administrations and citizens is a challenge in democratic societies. Public administration texts often contain technical legal terms, essential to convey specialized knowledge with precision but often impenetrable to non-experts. The plain language movement provides guidelines for simplifying legal-administrative texts, recommending avoiding, explaining, or replacing technical terms with more transparent synonyms. This study assesses the effect of plain terminology on the processing and comprehension of administrative texts in Spanish. We conducted a self-paced reading experiment in which participants (N = 117) read texts with legal-administrative terms and their plain synonyms and answered comprehension questions. Results showed that plain terms significantly improved comprehension but did not reduce reading times. Mixed linear regression analysis revealed that other term properties—length, frequency, and comprehensibility—also influenced reading speed and comprehension. These findings suggest that these factors should be considered when proposing clear alternatives to legal terminology.Publicación Steady-state analysis of an innovative rotatory Fresnel collector integrated into two industrial processes(Elsevier, 2025-04-01) Ibarra Mollá, Mercedes; Barbero Fresno, Rubén; Rovira de Antonio, Antonio José; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9859-2435; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6033-1309; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6810-3757This study compares the performance of two solar thermal systems, MAND and AMTP, designed for industrial process heat using a rotating Fresnel collector (Sundial) and Phase Change Material (PCM) thermal energy storage (TES). The systems differ in their latitude and in their demand profiles: MAND, located at low latitude, has a continuous 24-hour demand, while AMTP, located at high latitude, has a daytime-only demand. Through steady-state simulations, both daily and yearly performance were analyzed to assess the impact of these differences on system behavior. The designed system achieved annual energy outputs of 26,34 MWh and 25,37 MWh for the two case studies, over the prescribed target of 25 MWh and capacity factors of 30,34% and 32,11%. Results demonstrate that TES plays distinct roles in each system, with carryover storage being crucial for MAND and maximizing heat exchanger operation being more important for AMTP. The analysis highlights the importance of tailoring system design and control strategies to specific industrial process requirements and demonstrated the feasibility of integrating the ASTEP system for industrial applications, even with not favorable conditions like high latitude and daytime-only demand.Publicación Revista de la Sociedad de Lógica, Metodología y Filosofía de la Ciencia en España, num. 68, febrero 2024.(SLMFCE, 2024-02) Sociedad de Lógica, Metodología y Filosofía de la Ciencia en España, SLMFCEBoletín informativo num. 68 de la Sociedad de Lógica, Metodología y Filosofía de la Ciencia en España.
